Surely you replace stuff from time to time? Put the "old" stuff in the car.

Chalk me up as someone who just takes his chances.

I'll frequently meet and then ride with a partner. No chance I'm bringing a spare bag into someone else's car.

If I was going to bring an extra anything, it would be pants.

too smart

Several years ago my partner arrived at game site, checked his trunk, and realized he had driven the "wrong" vehicle to the game. He had outsmarted himself by packing the night before and putting everything in the trunk of his car (including spares!)... except his wife drove that car to work that day....

Yes, I used to carry the spare bag in the trunk. But I haven't in a few years. I just have a packing routine that largely eliminates the chance of forgetting something. And as for something messing up, I don't think there is much that can go wrong that can't be fixed with a few safety pins or a dip in the sink.

Exactly what I do. Not that difficult of a concept. Bag never leaves my trunk. If I use something out of it, I wash it immediately and put it back or replace it with a clean substitute.
