In the "Going Minimalist" thread, Dre25 stated that "I really like not being closed in by a kit. It's like riding a motor bike vs being in a car "
I really like the car analogy. I don't like riding motorcycles because I don't feel secure. I want doors, seatbelts, airbags, a roof, the whole nine yards. But yet, some folks feel too confined in a car and would rather be on a bike.
This got me thinking, do some of us build our kit small because we don't like feeling confined behind a large kit? And conversely, do some of us build our kits large to "hide" behind because a small kit leaves us feeling exposed?
This is kind of a silly thought really, and I expect most of us build our kit around our needs, but people are silly too and do some weird things for some strange reasons sometimes.
