God, I love my rucksack!

[Barn Owl]

Sounds completly normal to me.

 

[Loenja]

not quite as extreme here but i know what you guys mean!!

 

[rik_uk3]

Can't help looking at it. I tidied some kit away into my loft, actually climbed the ladder with it in my hand but couldn't go through with pulling the hatch down on it. As I write this it sits in the corner of my room within sight. I know I'm sad but it's just so lush. (Lowe Alpine Sting in OD). Anyone else feel similar about an inanimate object?

You need to get out more and meet/talk to real people mate.

My knives - including everyday users - hang on the wall in the living room with the strop close at hand...I will lovingly strop and polish their edges (even if they have not been used for a couple of days) as I sit by the fire....
Many of my hand carved spoons, hand made bowls, tubs, flint tools etc take the place of ornaments on the shelves and I stand and admire them when I should be doing other things - like work!
I can see loads of my favourites from where I am sitting right now!

that sounds just like my house, but then i do have woodworking bench, a metal working bench, and a sewing table in my living room. there are upsides to my better half moving away to college! back to the OP, my rucksack and daysack both hang from hooks on the living room wall just so that i can keep checking that they're safe!

my name's stuart, and i have a problem

i do the same only with knives and axes.
i have this practical box where i have 4 axes and 16 knives in it, so far.
and i also feel the need to keep it within sight.

well your sorted should any zombies come knocking lol

 

[darrenleroy]

Funny, I keep behaving like that with SWIMBO... anything wrong with me?

Are you insane? I can understand it with a rucksack... but... a woman? Sheesh.

 

[darrenleroy]

haha I seem to collect rucksacks, I think I've got 5 at the last count but some are back home in the UK I want to get one of the ultralight ones next, it never ends

Come on come on come on come on, what are they? In order of the dates you bought them. Please.

 

[darrenleroy]

I have hated some rucksacks in my time, but I'm quite affectionate towards my Crux AK47 and I do love my Kifaru X-Ray.

*Reads post then hastily copies and pastes the words Crux AK47 and Kifaru X-Ray into the Google image search*... Phwoar!

Yarp. I did, once...

Worst part is, I nearly married the lazy c*w...

 

[Dougster]

I love my bits and bobs. Sometimes I feel real remorse when I sell a knife. The F1 with Elm burr is the only one I really still miss.

The only thing I really can't put away is my CF Manix 2 with S90V blade. Turned down an amazing deal for it two days ago......

When i was 14 my parents allowed me to get my first air rifle .

The day after getting it my mum came in to wake me for school,
and there i was in bed sleeping with my nice new shiny bsa airsporter .

God i loved that gun, in a manly gung ho sort of way of course

[plastic-ninja]

I thought it was just me had more bags than my wife!!
Can't help it , if I see one in obvious distress I just have to rescue it.To date in the sack sanctuary are Arcteryx Khamsin 55l ish,Arcteryx Bora 35l,Arcteryx snoyo 21l snowboard pack,Lowe Alpine 25l daysack and Exped expert waterproof u/l sack plus a litter of canvas and leather jobs for foraging with.I think I need to have a clearout soon.But not just yet!

 

[slasha9]

WAAAAY TOO MANY rucksacks in the garden shed, even after last years enforced cull (boot sale). Still feel the need to keep the main users in the house, where I can see them. Bought a new Leatherman just after New Year, still find myself taking it to bed with me each night (just in case I need a midnight multi tool)

hmmmm

too much?
