[drewdunnrespect]

kit that if u lost or was taken away from u, u would be heart broken about?

in other words do you have any kit that has sentimental value more than what it is worth in monetary terms

[Trunks]

One, that I was just given yesterday. It's a Scout staff.

My old Scout Leader gave me it yesterday, he was given it by his Scout Master.

My S.L. has had a couple of strokes over the past few years so isn't anywhere near as mobile as he'd like.
He gave it to me saying it deserves to back in use in Scouting, not propped in a corner.
He also took time shaving the bark off the top few inchs and traceing on the outline of a wolfs head (not easy with one good working hand) It's now "Akela's Staff".

It's "value" is off the scale. It was one of his most personal possesions, given by a man he had tremendous respect for and carried through many of his most memorable times.
Now it's mine to carry and put to use.

My grandfather's WW2 canvas bivi/bedroll - needs some attention but hoping to use it myself soon. Already carry around a gas mask bag of his as a convenient satchel

-3 shotguns; one was my Grandfather's, one was Daddy's, and the 3rd was Mama's.
-The single shot 22 rifle daddy gave me when I was 8.
-My 1st saddle (a kid's saddle I got with my 1st horse when I was 6) But obviously it doesn't fit so it isn't used any more.
-Daddy's machetes and dog whistle.
-a SAK I've carried since Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

My grandfathers knife made from a kit when he was a lad and handed down.
My first compass, but it looks like it will need to go back to Silva and be replaced under warranty, someone sugested servicing on the thread here http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81405&p=985780#post985780
but from it's age, and the look of it, the luminous stuff is the type they don't like dealing with, radioactive or something.

My leatherman, Wifely gave it to me when I left for Iraq the first time, I don't think I have ever spent a day with out looking at it and smiling before I put it on my belt, I did get issued a Gerber on the third time out, but the leather man kicked it off my belt into a longdrop! think it has issues (I did not retrieve the Gerber if you want it, I can show you exactly where its buried)

All of it.!..... It's worthless money wise, a lot of old used gear, but I use it all & I am emotionally attached to it.& in that respect, it's irreplaceable.....it also symbolises my personal liberty & that's priceless.



As for yours, I'll wager a leather bush hat

2 items:

1. Alpkit Hunka bivvy-bag. First honest piece of kit I acquired that wasn't surplus. £30. And it's never let me down, or had any condensation build-up.
2. Evernew DX stand. My introduction to really clever ultralight, multi fuel stoves.

I completely forgot about me Granda's little folder but that would be up there with them
Considering that he is no longer with us
