So I am home for a few days working, while Luke chases sheep in the Brooks Range before we both take off again next week for Moose, caribou, and grizz. Our house is a disaster, with gear strewn from one end to the other and every chore that can wait being procrastinated until the season slows down a little at the end of September. Although things are a mess around here, I am realizing that it doesn't bother me much as it would under other circumstances because it's for such a great cause 
That being said, I have noticed a couple things that are pretty funny.
You might be a backpack hunting obsessed Rokslider if....
The items on top of the dryer that came out of pockets during laundry include a lighter, two havalon blade wrappers, several flavors of GUs, a shell casing and one of those oxygen absorbers from MH meals
Your fridge is pretty much empty, and your pantry is lacking multiple staple items but you have cases of Mountain House, Instant Oatmeal, clif and Lara bars and energy gels packed and at the ready
You used more minutes on your Sat Phone this month than on your cell phone (that would be Luke)
You can list all the items in your pack, with weights and prices off the top of your head
Your car is parked outside, because the garage is full of tents, backpacks, and other miscellaneous gear that needed to dry out before the next trip
You spent your "vacation" time this year sleeping in a floorless shelter, wore the same clothes for 11 days without a shower, packed heavy loads up and down hills in the rain ....and you loved it!
You would rather read hunting stories and live hunts on Rokslide.com than watch tv, read anything else or sleep
Curious if we are the only one with these issues? Can anybody think of any more?
