This is our 10 year anniversary, but we’ve been together for 17 years...

I got an Exo 4800
Got an UGQ XL Bandit 0 quilt ordered
Me and a buddy split a Seek Redcliffe
I have a Gaia sub
My go to knife is a Buck Open season Pro
Breaking in a pair of Zamberlan Lynx right now

no stove yet and I’m looking for a pad. I’m a wide dude, and heavy. 240, 6ft, 50” chest. Not ideal for mountain climbing.... so I was leaning towards a klymit insulated v luxe or going full dummy and getting the medium exped duo mat to really be able to splay our....

Wow, my list of recent purchases is very similar. I did EXPED for mat as well, WM Versalite, SO DCF Cimarron (will get stove at some point), went with an Esse knife rather than Benchmade, Exo 6400 pack, and Asolo boots. Love my gear and trust it without hesitation.
 
An rei or helix chair. Game changer after hiking around all day. It's good to have something with a back.

This thread makes me want to buy a bunch of crap I don’t need. Also, apparently I live under a rock and there’s “good” sleeping pads. Exped came up a lot. I’ll dig back in for some research.

On topic, I read a lot when I’m alone - I’d say a Couple dozen books or if you’re the digital type, kindle or something like that. Or, just upgrading anything that’s heavy in my kit. Shaving a pound would be nice.
