I have always packed “early”. It is a source of wifely banter before every trip, family or solo. “You’re packing already?” I like to have everything packed and boats racked a full day before I leave, typically pre-dawn.
But I have a long group trip coming up, and it’s been a while since I really detailed the group gear. The group first aid kit was a mess, despite my best intentions of restocking every time. Some of the meds were expired and other stuff was running low.
The batteries in the spares & repairs kit were either dead or missing, the repair putty had hardened into a useless slab and various small parts and pieces were missing from past repair use.
Going through the laminated index of stuff in those two kits made it easy to see what was missing or in low supply, but it took the better part of an afternoon.
Time well spent.
