So, what kind of beach bag packer do you think you are?

If you answered A to most of the questions, you are The Over-Packer. You are prepared for anything that may be thrown your way. You have everything you need and MORE in your bag. Your friends often look to you if they forget something because odds are, you have what they need.

If you answered B to most of the questions, you are The Borrower. You pack but also lean on others who over-pack. You have what you need but often will ask others and borrow if you forgot something.

If you answered C to most of the questions, you are The Non-Packer. You “wing it." You are the first down to the beach because you don’t pack a thing. You often just carry a towel and water bottle. After all, that’s all you need to relax.
