Do I have an addiction? My wife thinks so. I currently own two large backpacks, three day packs, one lumbar pack, four fanny packs and one hydration pack.

    Hmmm - 2 large packs, 3 daypacks, 1 fanny pack, 1 messenger-style (1 shoulder) pack. I'm only answering this because I have fewer than you do. :wink:

    Please don't ask about my Camelbak (bottles and pouches) collection.

    My husband calls me a Gearhead. I'm pretty sure it's a term of affection. :smile:

    Hikergirl, I'm very good at enabling - I mean persuading - others that they need more hiking equipment. So if you're ever in need of someone to convince you to buy, say, a new backpack, I can help you out.

    It's a gift. :smile:

    I'm feeling a whole lot better now. I'm an amateur compared to you professional hikers.

    I hadn't heard it phrased like that before but I think I qualify also.
