Remember: The objective is to bring what you need to insure safety and a reasonable degree of comfort. Anything more is extra weight and will reduce the pleasure of the trip. Individuals who bring unnecessary gear believe it affects only themselves. But in truth the group carries the entire load. If an individual brings extra gear their ability to carry their share of the group gear is reduced.
