So where do you draw the line between too much gear and not enough?
It is a hard call!
Certainly if you travel alone caution is required - maybe take a bit more.
But no amount of gear will beat Murphy!!
I'll never forget the looks on the faces of the owners of 3 Troopies we met at
Meeting Gorge, Rudal R NP - us in our old Subarus. Their cars were packed to the 'rafters' with gear and also full length roof racks. Maybe they were on a around the world trip? Their jaws hit the ground when they saw us in out little cars.
And another Toyo on the Talawana track who had just had to go to
Newman from the CSR to have the chassis welded - overloaded.
We still carry all the right stuff, spares, 1st aid kits, frigs, sat phones,
camp ovens, tents, even a few beers etc etc.
Cheers
