Yeah, right now, I currently have 2 large rubbermaid bins full of kit (mostly arctic stuff, because I don't need that ready to go in SWO), 2 duffel bags full, a full ruck sack and 2 full valises of sleeping kit. Really overkill, but I guess it irons out the possible logistical shortfalls that could happen if you're issued kit when you get to your destination.
