I keep some kites on hand, at the ready. You know, just in case...

Nice selection. 

My Rev bag is almost always in my trunk, ready to use!! 

 

Zen, SUL, STD, MID, F/V, X/V, and my 1st Rev 1, along with various lines and handles, are at the ready. Indoor gear goes as needed, as does the "street" gear! Although I have been adding my old Indoor to my Rev bag more often for those really windless days!

 

And don't let this get around - but I do have several dualies, (but we won't get into that)!

Thanks for the comments.  Long work hours have kept me quiet for some time now.  I need to awaken from my winter slumber & soar in the stormy skies.  Yesterday morning I smelled spring on the way.  Later the robins in the yard confirmed it.  SHBKF

Sorry to hear that you're buried in paperwork ! You know what they say about all work & no play...

owned odyssey vans for years(3rd~2016) so all the crap can accompany me, usually drive if given a choice, prefer to drive actually, then I know I have the "right stuff". I carry the long Orvis case with 8 1point5s, from Bazzer'sPro SULs(3) to 135%Shook high wind equalizer, another bag has 3 Zens, a B2 and a map tube case of indoor orcon-sailed quads by Ash worth. A big portable power pack, the Bose sound system, a couple of dozen safety cones, a sand cart, tarps and mini-rev banners, naturally extra layers, both waterproof & wicking. Lights for night flying and team radios, sun screen & various insect repellents, my folding cane/3 legged stool, probably a cooler w/Barbara lunch too!

the van gets great mileage on the hwy 6/3cylinder and it is like driving a recliner for comfort and roominess, plenty of ports and accessory outlets, sheepskin covers and weather tech mats,.... Plus MY schedule!!!

The van organizes all my crap in the back of 4 comfy seats and loads up quick if everything isn't in there already 

its tough to get on plane and know I forgot something important due to baggage restrictions, but it is the only times I ever travel "light".
