why do i hoard bushcrafting kit

[ADz-1983]

Although majority of my gear hoarding isn't really "bushcraft" but is camping in general, since 2012 when I first started out I have become very addicted to buying new kit and not getting rid/selling/giving away old using the "keep just in case" mentality. I've got about 6 storage boxes, 5 cardboard boxes a cupboard and underneath the bed full of gear/bits and pieces so need to have a really good sort through/organize and blitz.

I buy one of everything and use it until it breaks then buy a new one. So far only had to do that with my knife which I had for a good long while before I decided it was time for a new one.

I'm now down to
7 sleeping bags
3 bergens
3 day packs
6 cook kits
4 tarps
12 knives
6 axes
and still consider myself in need of more kit.
The wife is getting a bit cheesed off now as I had to move the sofa away from the wall to store it all.

I am your saviour and your wifes Knight in a rusty red van!

I will at little to no cost to yourself, take anything (YOUR WIFE THINKS YOU DONT NEED!) you require into safekeeping at my gaffe!

Part of my "hoarding" results in upgradin items and knowin that the item ive downgraded isnt worth sellin on as it was a cheaper naffer version which is easily available for decent prices online already
