What's your sherpa's name? I may know him.

Mark correctly assessed my situation by asking, What's your sherpa's name?
I
may know him.
-------------------
Now that is funny! I have this stuff in my den all laid out and you are so
right! Most will stay in my vehicle, but my gawd, what a bunch of stuff to
just go fishin'.

Next will be my minimalist approach. Stick, String, and Fly...

SNAPPAGE

Whilst it may seem hard to believe you might have forgotten something
in that list, you have in fact overlooked the most important thing for
winter fishing: PAM non-stick spray to keep the guides ice free.

PS I don't feel much like washing with the "Stainless Steel Soap".

Aquaseal Neoprene Repair Kit

Yuck, breathables over some fleece pants works just as well, leave the
neoprene at home

Butane Cook Stove
Butane Lighter
Butane Lighter - Extra Long Neck

Butane does not work as well in cold temps. I would suggest a good ole
Zippo and a white fuel/gas powered cook stove. And a portable wind
shield for it.

Five Weight Temple Fork Rod
Orvis Rocky Mountain Large Arbor Reel
Sage 6wt Rod

I think you forgot something

Two-Way Hand Held Radios

Why? are you going to talk to yourself?

Whiskey Flask

A Temple Forks guy might would use whiskey but a Sage/Orvis guy would
only be seen with a whisky flask.

While your list seems quite long, much of what you mentioned should be
in the vest already, and a survival kit in the car is not a bad idea if
one lives or travels to an area that folks can and do get stuck for
hours or days. But I'm just curious, are you one of those guys who's
desk is always neat and are your leftovers dated and rotated for
freshness?

I, on the other hand, am one of those who (that's for you, Mr. Claspy)
goes fishing and forgets his rods. My ridiculously messy desk will bear
out my condition.

I have never forgotten to take a rod, I have on more than one instance,
forgotten the reel

Scolding works!

Now sit up straight!

Can't admit to that, though since my profession is all about classification
and organization, I'll admit to being more relaxed when it comes to home and
camp. But I *do* own a fair share of Rubbermaid tubs which can conveniently
be tucked into the car before a trip. They just don't have labels on the
ends with SH687... or GV199.6... on 'em.

Yet.
