    Similar Posts have been made, but I'm curious apart from knives axes and guns what are some of the most valued pieces of gear you guys have. Either subjective or objective. I'm a gear whore and would like to find the next thing to drool over.

    One of the items that has never been replaced since purchasing. Never even had a thought of a different solo tent.

    Firesteel.com GobSpark. My hands don't work in anything under 60 degrees. This is is an amazing fire starter. Thing throws MAD sparks.

    Or my Therm-A-Rest NeoAir xtherm sleeping pad. I sleep on it even when I'm at the house since it's more comfortable than my bed

    It's a toss up for me between the 3 things I have on me no matter what. My Recycled Firefighter Rookie wallet, Fenix 3HR, and Tactical Tailor Urban Operator pack.

    Aside from knives, I think my 3 favorite pieces of gear are my Collins Hudson Bay boys axe, Hidden Woodsman haversack, and my Pathfinder Bushpot

    my nutribullet. seriously, without it i'd be way more unhealthy...sometimes i'm either too busy or too tired to cook by the time i get home and it's convenient to just eat out.

    i've tried juicers (a lot of wasted raw materials since it really does just extract the juice and leaves out the pulp and fiber) and normal blenders (hassle to disassemble and clean) in the past but the nutribullet's fast cleanup is the key that made me stick to it.

    for the curious, part of my lunch for today is a handful of kale, 2 bananas, 2 teaspoon of chia seeds, and ice/water...took me a whopping 3 minutes to make and wash the blade :)

    i still eat pizza, burgers, etc. but i chug a nutriblast first then think about lunch or dinner...by then i'll just eat a slice of pizza instead of 3...really helps with portion control.

    32 oz nalgene. i literally carry it everywhere except to a bar/restaurant. in the office if i'm getting up to talk to someone or to a meeting i bring it with me...i never use the disposable cups in the water cooler - probably one of the most wasteful things we do. at home i use the same water bottle (one less thing to keep washing).

    moleskine notebooks and pilot g2 pen. i'm always near a computer but i just like handwriting notes most of the time.

    Helikon Tex bushcraft satchel acquired from a member here, and my 4hm.

    I'd really love to find a backpack I like. But, that seems to be elusive..

    I blame a lot on @shaneadams90 . He just doesn't know it. My wife blames him too. A lot.

    I've been eyeing HPG for a while, and can't figure out what would suit me. I go between the Tara and unlimdi.

    1HZ powered LandCruiser.... !!! Thanks to that I can get about anywhere in this continent I would want to travel ! Following that, my Lowa boots, as if I am a cripple from crap footwear I can't do to much. The rest of my gear may get chopped and changed depending on where I am hunting/fishing/walk. More often than not my SORD Day Pack will be on my back, if not that my Eagle Assault Pack. both have had the hell used out of them now.

    Well if you gain interest in the Umlindi then I have one that I'm looking to unload.

    My boat/kayak. I absolutely love being miles back in the swamps and backwaters. I find a peace that is hard to describe when no more traffic can be heard and there is nothing but you, the buzzing of bugs, the smell of mud, and the almost silent swish of the paddle in the water....
