Rotating/replacing your equipment/consumables

Say you buy a better flashlight. Does that become your everyday use one or do you pack it away in your bug out bag?

If its better, it becomes my EDC. My EDC gear is by definition the gear I am most likely to have with me if SHTF, my GHB is an accessory kit to my EDC gear, not the primary.

What do you do with the older less quality or obsolete items?

They get shuffled down the line to gear loadouts in order of necessity. When those slots are filled extra gear gets thrown in dedicated junk boxes...or even thrown away. Empty space can be a prep. Every object you own levies a small logistical penalty against you. Own enough stuff and you can be crippled by inventory.

Say you have 48 rechargeable AA batteries, is it better to use 12 and cycle thru them and insert replacements as needed or just rotate thru all 48?

Depends on how fast your using them. If your going to use all 48 within the self life then no need to rotate partial quantities. It makes inventory management much simpler if you can stick to rotating full cases than partials.

This is one of the reason I don't see the point in can rotators. I use boxes of canned goods well within the shelf life, no need to make the system more complicated by rotating individual cans.
