Last year I found myself drifting in the opposite direction. I tried to simplify my kit with a low tech approach. I want basic and dependable. I preferred my cat food can alcohol stove over the Jetboil. A simple closed cell mat replaced my inflatable Thermarest. I traded a poncho for my W/B rain gear. I went to chemical water purification or no treatment at all. An so on. I adopted a "less is more" approach. My only concession was a Garmin Vista HCx to replace my aging Magellan 315 because it's vastly superior.
