Too much weight...trying to get lighter, not pack more stuff aboard
In Response To: What's next? Winch handles? LOL!!!! ()
One battery, short chain on my anchor tackle if any at all next season, no frivolous stuff, 5 gallons water at the most, 2 gallons fuel, no spares. Duck tape. flashlight, medical kit, and a little extra cordage is all I need. Oh yeah, and a box of powerbars for snacks.
I'm good to go for the week with just that
