Money Divided By Usage Multiplied By Comfort Equals Value?

I make do with only 4 pints of blood and one kidney as I have a Kifaru pack and sleeping bag, but mostly just use a cheapo Mora knife.

Where do you prioritise spending your cash?

What have you spent the most on and got the most value from?

Money = Food!

LOL That's why I have to carry everything on my back, weapon of mass reduction!

Probably footwear and clothing. I guess that, using your equation, my boots get the most use per pound. In terms of hardware, a Leatherman Wave probably.

Most expensive? My knife and my sleeping bag. Very thankful for spending the right amount of cash in each case Especially the sleeping bag, that's given me a lot of comfy warm usage for the money spent. My hammock gear has cost me a good bit over the last year, too. Lots of little changes and swapping bits out, not necessarily much for each but when I add them together eep!

thermarest, i think it was £45 which makes it one of the most expensive pieces of kit that i've got, it doesn't get used every time i sleep out because there's sometimes really no need for it, but it's definately added more comfort than anything else that i own.

Time, my friend, time is the really expensive & non renewable bit of kit.

Most expensive for me was the sleeping bag, an antartica RE. Brilliant bag but big and heavy however for me, a comfortable nights sleep is of paramount importance in making a good trip. I have a couple of expensive knives but still tend to use the mora the most, through choice I may add. A really good Jacket need not cost much and everything else has been really cheap.
