Choose for the trip you are actually taking
For a walking day: consider the expected weather, fit and space in your bag before choosing clothing or footwear. For time without internet: check that your chosen book or map can be downloaded or carried in print, then save it before leaving. For RV travel: think through available storage and what you will use repeatedly.
A useful shortlist beats buying everything at once. Start with your route, the activities you expect to do and the things you already own.
