Gearing up procedure for my tracking jumps
My goal of this post is to review other´s gear up procedure and learn the pros and cons of my way and other´s way and share it. It may seem clear to many (gear up) but some are failing and dying on this. The ultimate would be a having a flow chart. I have my numbers for zipper checks and harness checks places.
My method works on a do and check. not a doingchecking. Do some thing, look away and then check. Separate the do and check. And ditch the phone whilst packing along with any other distractions.
Take care,

 Smart move not making a #2. It's easier to only have to remember one thing.
