I was just channel surfing and stopped on a show about hoarders. These people have obsessive desires to collect all sorts of things and tend to fill their homes with their collections/hoards.
Seems that the minimalist nature of hiking and the requirement to carry only the most basic of items is the exact opposite of the way these folks live their lives. I'm just curious if anyone here might have a very cluttered home, yet manage to carry only the basics for a hike.
My curiosity concerning the dramatic contrast between a hikers mindset versus a hoarders mindset has brought me to start this conversation. I do have sympathy for these OCD victims and especially their families and I'd like to keep the thread sensitive to their pain.
