All you need to carry is two cut off fingers from worn out gloves. Having so bad a back, that even vest with a few small things can fook me up, I have mastered the art of reduction. I can have all I need in a waist pack - easy.. Irl we more or less never use anything but the few favorite well tested things. And that way you don't have to try to decide this or that or the third thing. 100 years ago an oooold sea trout angler in Denmark showed me ALL his gear - ABU Reflex 12 + 18 grams mostly orange with copper spoon - and one white for when orange didn't do the job. Keep it simple.!
@@OPSkagit Thanks. One more - plastic Coke bottles of water can survive getting frozen solid. That way you have ice cold water after fishing hours in warm weather. If needed pull a couple of socks over it, to keep it cold even longer. Gotta experiment with the time, but if it's still frozen when needed, it goes pretty fast if you put in in the river or where you are fishing. And it doesn't ruin your teeth.!

I feel like you are describing my wife’s hootch in that intro…
