Everything but my weapon. The weapon is necessary cuz I've unsuccessfully tried to run down game and choke it out.

One of the only things I’ve bought that really dissapointed me for the money was a heavy camo wool sweater from cabelas. I debated buying it for months due to the price. It was some wind proof, classy 1/4 zip that was around $150 when I had absolutely no money in college. I splurged and literally skipped meals because of it.

I’ve worn it twice in ten years. The first time I wore it I froze due to lack of a hood and back that pulled up, my neck was raw from the zipper, wind went straight through it. Second time, Velcro tabs and burrs caught everywhere and mangled it, pulling it over my head ripped an internal layer, it got muddy and the care instructions were absolutely tedious. It remains on a hanger front and center in my gear closet, taunting me, as I religiously grab my carhart hooded sweatshirt to go hunt.

Hmm. Randy newberg has a similar story lol

Crispi Boots, I’ve never had a pair of boots that gives me blisters like Crispis, I’ve since gone back to Danner for 1/2 the price

All optics that begin with a V.

Mkc knives. They don't hold an edge. At least the carbon steel. Maybe the magnacut is different.

I'm done spending money on gear I have everything and then some. I've gone down many a rabbit holes every year. Archery equipment, optics, clothing, back packing gear, rifles, everything you can possibly think of. I'm made the decision to invest my time and money into scouting and hunting more. The money I spend a year is nuts. More tags less gear..

Not a fan of Iron Will Broadheads. Shot 3 animals with them and all of them no to very little blood. Recovered all 3 but it was tough tracking. Switched back to Montec’s and have no regrets

High-falutin rifle builds with the latest cartridge, spirals and nitride. In the end it’s objectively much worse than the factory barrel spun off it.

More hunting, shooting and time outdoors and less chasing the popular builds on Rokslide.

I'm a gear junky so it's hard not to buy the shiny stuff. That said I went all out this year and covered all my bases with intentions to not have to upgrade anytime soon and now invest more money in scouting and tags. We'll see if it pans out.
