I stopped caring about matching gear

[Alan]

I used to stress about having everything color-coordinated and from the same manufacturer. I now run what works whether it is mixed brands, mismatched colors, some old stuff, some new. My kit isn't Instagram-worthy but it performs exactly how I need it to. Maturity is realizing nobody cares what your gear looks like except you...

My setup looks like a yard sale, but it’s reliable where it counts

It’s the same deal with my pack with three different brands of pouches, two colors that definitely don’t match..doesn’t matter. All that counts is if it works out in the field.
