The only difference might be that if I pass from one season to another or one geographic area to another I might need different gear, but in that case I might mail some stuff home and have different stuff mailed to me.
Yeah. Potential weather conditions is the big driver for me. If I’m doing a long weekend in the summer around here and there’s little chance of rain or chilly temperatures, then there are things that I will leave at home, like rain gear and a warm hat. But if I might likely face varying conditions, I’ll pack the same stuff for a long weekend that I pack for two weeks.
