Yes, they will make a military museum from my stuff, also because the collection ends with current pieces.
No, I guess my family will continue to use the stuff.
I went through my entire collection during the Covid 19 pandemia and most younger civil eequipment from the nineties and younger went to the garbage bin because it fell into pieces in the storage if not already during utilisation. But nearly all military equipment looks like new although I usually bought it used and used it myself a lot. That's why I recommend to buy military surplus from western armies in good conditions. It usually lasts a lifetime in civil use or much longer.
I am no insane collector. My stuff was bought in order to use it with boy scout groups and was indeed used a lot and is still used regularly.
