I've still got several pocket knives that I've had since I was a kid. I am 60. I also have a number of guns that are wayyyyy older than me.

Yakima roof racks are on their 4th truck and second human generation.
I also have a 2-burner liquid fuel stove the looks like a Coleman but isn't and is labeled for use with "regular and leaded gasoline" so...not older than 1920...

Yeah you won't wear out a Dana pack :D I had a Bomb pack I foolishly sold, but still have one of their lumbar packs I still use when pulling a pulk- it's 25-ish years old
Have you seen the prices of used bomb packs?! Holy smokes - more than we paid for them new. Lol That’s an iconic pack that nobody ever regretted buying.

You guys have refreshed my memory from what I listed above…

MSR snowshoes- 1999
2 tall boy Nalgene bottles- 2000
2 WWII surplus cots I got in 1993
WY saw from the mid 90s
I won’t list all the rifles, but my mom’s 1972 Ruger 243 was used by both my boys this year, an AZ javelina hunt and MT deer hunting

“Cheapo” Maverick 88 shotgun (by Mossberg) from wal mart. 20 years old, has fallen in rivers, rode it truck boxes for years, and has always functioned properly.

I have the same gun, also about 20 years old. The guy at the sporting goods store saw me hand my lawn-mowing money to my dad (I was under age at the time) and gave me 10 bucks off. Not fancy but it still works.

I’ve got an 87 as well… but acquired in 2021😁

A 15 degrees Kelty bag
Whisperlite
and surprisingly a thermarest pad
I actually bought one brand new in 1987. My kid took it for her first car and sold it after a couple of years. Got another around 2000 and this one in 2005.
