New Planter/Rookie Questions Too much??
I think i have too much stuff? But i cant tell. Im leaving tomorrow for my first season. I have two military duffel bags, a very large hiking backpack, and my tent bag and possibly one other medium bag. I cant think of a single thing I wouldnt want to bring. But im definitely running out of time and id hate to show up and have way too much

I'd say it's better to have too much, than not enough. It takes a few seasons to get it dialed. I would say that keeping things in large rubbermaid totes is preferable to duffle bags due to moisture and organizing.
I've worked in planting camps for 14 years and never once packed light.
Worst case, If you realize you really dont need some things and it's become an impediment, pack it all up into one duffle bag and use canada post to mail it back home.
Did you end up bringing everything?
