We wore these winter camping in scouts. They are suprisingly warm and snow repellent. I've probably put them on hundreds of times, but not for a very long time.
If I had a lot more, I'd make matchbox 20, but alas I have only two. Since I already posess I have a lighter for candles, there's nothing in my home I can use these for. I might've taken them to Sugar Lake but the sauna and fireplace can now be turned on with the press of a button.
Maybe this is one thing, but I thought about keeping the fork/spoon. I don't remember where I got it, but I think I last and only used it camping in Africa in 2019.
Despite being only a few years old, these storage tubs are already cracked and useless. In contrast, the 25-year-old Rubbermaid Roughneck tubs remain in pretty good condition. Quality matters, but it seems harder to find.
This tiny trusty tent will be one of the most difficullt things I'll be getting rid of this month. I got it in Ely, Minnesota after an absolutely miserable experiment of relying on a "jungle hammock" on a Boundary Waters canoe trip I guided. It was the floor model and it was an excellent companion the rest of the summer and beyond. Both tent and toilet paper are from 1996.
>Way too many. Will def be getting rid of more. Note to self: Own better quality pens.
Well-loved Therm-A-Rest camping mattress with 30+ years of service. Since it was stored rolled up (against recommendations), it's probably not in the best shape anyway. Also my sleeping bag, two compression sacks, a camp towel, tarp, and some unidentified REI mesh item that I can't even remember the purpose of.
Included the scout backpacker's favorite collapsible "Sven saw." This is the smaller one that isn't actually all that useful but I still took it everywhere.
Never really figured out how to used bobby pins when I had long hair anyway.
I wore this little pack nearly every iday while canoeing when I was guiding trips in the Boundary Waters and Quetico in 1996. It kept out ofthe way and was so handy for everything including two water bottles and the Polar Pure Iodine treatment I used to purify the water. Wonderful memories...
I got this router for free at Micro Center about 10 years ago. Still works, but my ISP gave me a new one.
Lots of stuff in my car I really don't need.
I haven't used a sea bag in years. They're not very practical, and for me a little sentimental, but I do have two, so I'll let one set sail for now.
I bought this car starter so I wouldn't have to worry about being stuck with a dead battery in the dead of winter. It's heavy and big. I found as much smaller one that seems to work just as well, and I can keep it in my spare tire compartment.
These chairs worked well for years, but for some reason are coming apart in my new home. Time for new furniture!
