Reading some recent threads, there seem to some interesting view about "how complicated one's rig should be", or not.
The Army has a saying, "Train as you will fight." It means that you always have the gear with you, you train in that gear, and do all tasks from simple to complicated in that gear. It becomes second-nature to have it, work in it, and use it in all environments.
There are others who change gear for every environment. They set up different for Caribbean, Atlantic SoFl, lake diving, cave diving, ice diving (idjits), and pool diving. They have more or less lights, different light, more or less or different cutting tools, with and without SMB, with and without spare mask, more or less or different spools -- and all stored in different places depending on the dive.
So -
Do you reconfigure your kit for dives?
Customize for every dive? or
Do you have a couple of different kits that you stick to?
