I think that you will find that common here. The latest and greatest is a sure bet for us suckers that can't wait to be the guy with the bigger fish or bigger bag or just something new to break up the normal pattern. All my gear is stowed in the Plani boxes in the garage and I take the ones that I'll be using. Don't think that they could all fit in the boat if they had to. I have some stuff that has been around so long that the colors have faded or changed and get thrown out. It's a sickness, I agree.
