Hello!

addicted to preparation and research adj. Compulsively making ready and preparing for use. Study and investigation to discover new facts. "Here, obsession is not an inappropriate word" says Tom, settling in for a long explanation. "If a trip, camping or an event is coming up, Google will be consulted, maps will be found, topography will be studied, 3D mapping software calibrated, tidal charts checked, aerial photos sourced, itinerary's planned, menu's drawn up and lists... have we mentioned lists? Lots of lists. As for camping, we need to inform you that camping is not a nice comfy tent beside a creek, sitting on camping chairs with a nice glass of wine. Prepare yourself for camouflage gear, ration packs, powdered meals, and sleeping on the ground in a pine forest. Hmmm... how romantic."
