Portlandia goes overboard with outdoor gear



Gearing up for a day outside should be relatively easy. Grab the necessities - proper clothing, comfortable shoes, safety equipment, etc - and hit the road. Sure, you'll be excused if you include a few extras in your pack (especially if you bring along enough snacks for everyone), but it's easy for things to snowball until you suddenly realize that you've completely filled your car with gear for a simple day trip. In typical Portlandia fashion, this sketch mocks those over-packers, hyper-planners and big talkers who just can't seem to stop planning and start doing.

The next time you're heading out for a day of adventure, try to keep your pack light. Just make sure you bring the snacks!
