During a recent visit by a friend of mine, I noticed how he put his gear in a big pile, then moved it to the back of the car. Then on top of that pile he put additional gear, picked some other things laying around and tossed it in. What’s wrong with that? How do you readily tell if something is missing if everything is a big pile?
Over the next several days I watched as a piece of gear fell out of the car and was left. I picked it up for him. I got a call from him that he left his shoes by the road and asked if I would grab them for him. And then I got a text from him that he lost his gloves.
This doesn’t need to happen. This is predictable!
