Gear I STOPPED Taking Backpacking

I agree with most of your assessments, but I always still carry a knife for emergencies and for small tasks and I carry bear spray when in bear country. I have never used the spray, but it gives me peace of mind and let’s face it, humans are far more dangerous than bears and bear spray works very well against humans!
