Hobby psychologists would start to analyse the following as a form of obsessive compulsive personality disorder - but they are of course wrong.
They say that folks with OCPD may need to keep everything in order and under control and set unrealistically high standards for themselves and others. Those people also might think theirs is the best way of making things happen and worry when them or others might make mistakes. Heck, they even expect catastrophes if things aren’t perfect and are reluctant to spend money on themselves or others. On top they have a tendency to hang onto items with no obvious value.
So nope, not us right? We are flyfishers and ... ok - I stop the argument here ... I might not like where this might be going.
However - I am proud of how perfect and compact I managed to pack my stuff. Remember - stuff, the things one does need so badly. We all have stuff. The task is though to have just the necessary and all that packed as small as possible - because I am trying to combine motorcycling and flyfishing. No, I am not about to cast from the seat. I mean the travel on two wheels from fishing spot to fishing spot. However, Tthe nature of a 2-wheeler only allows for so much luggage.
... zeeee Germanz are coming ...
