I love it! I can never be called anal again! (to which Anth always responds - its all relative…). I hope you guys had a court of law system (not packed until proven useful) like we did the night before we packed, when all items had to be laid out on the floor and a convincing justification made to the other party…

What a great system! Surprising that it is accepted by both parties!

This public listing of all items is definitely a good way to instil discipline in packing!

I note the tripod made it in to the final cut. We are all looking forward to seeing the results of its use.
