What type of gear do you have way too much of..and don't care?

[mlgc20]

Backpacking stoves (alcohol, wood burning, isobutane, white gas, etc.)

I have a huge collection of headlamps and small flashlights too. I also have accumulated all kinds of gloves. I hate having cold hands, but can’t seem to find a lightweight pair of gloves that work so I’m always trying out new pairs and I have them stashed everywhere it seems like.

 

[AZ8]

Tripods. Not sure why, but I was like, WTF?!

 

[Ucsdryder]

Duck decoys. I have 150-200. Use about 30 each hunt.

When I was hunting the sac valley I had well over 1000. Storing them sucked, putting them out sucked, picking them up REALLY sucked, but man did they pull birds when the conditions were right!

 

[Yarak]

Its a close race between turkey hunting vests and foothold traps

 

[MattB]

Broadheads

 

[Austin_Smedley]

Rifles... totally rifles. The amount of my hard earned money spent on too many rifles keeps me up at night sometimes, lol.

 

[Doghed]

Knives. I love knives. I can't stop wanting more knives, but thats ok, its cheaper than rifles.

Not gear but power tools. I have at least two of everything.

 

[Ace12]

Base layers and rubber boots. Also enough ratchet straps to hold a house together for some reason

 

[thinhorn_AK]

Where to start....

backpacks
Knives
Axes/hatchets
Footwear (I live in AK so I have an excuse)
Life jackets
Stoves
Packrafts
Waders

 

[mtnkid85]

Left handed gloves, lost all the rights and just can't bring myself to throw them out... You know, just incase I come across the match for it somewhere.

 

[positivepete!]

Packs are definitely my downfall.......

 

[Maverick1]

I have actually done very well in this area....because my approach is to have one good/quality item and not have multiples. I ask myself "Why own something if I'm not going to use it?" and "Why have more than one if I can only use one at a time?" My simpleton approach resulted in my being a one-rifle owner for nearly 20 years, and am on my third bow in 30 years. (Have since bought a couple of rifles!)

That being said, it took me a long time to find a pair of hiking boots for elk hunting that fit my feet really well. After a couple of seasons of trial and error, I found the right boots for my feet. Afraid they would change the model, stop production, or go out of business, I stock up on them whenever they go on sale....I have something like 10 pairs, of which 4 or 5 are brand new. They will get used at some point!

Other than that, I've got pile of diaphragm elk calls - never know when one is going to have the latex stretch out or leave it someplace!

And inexpensive headlamps....I use those things all the time.....have a bunch inside the house, in each vehicle, out in the shop......

 

[MarcherLord]

Rifles

 

[Oregonboy]

Knives
Steelhead/salmon rods
Antique cast iron pans (15+ griswold + others)
Socks
Sweatshirts ( I never seem to throw old ones away).

 

[Agross]

Hats, gloves, socks, and rope. No idea why.

 

[Clovis]

Tarps of all sizes, materials and configuration.

 

[rayporter]

rain gear

 

[Tick]

Sleep pads.

 

[zacattack]

Hats and gloves. My hands get really cold very easily. I’ve often thought I have Raynauds as my fingers turn that nice white color when they get the least bit cold.
