Dogshooter--I think you realized something about yourself that I read about a few years ago. The article said that there are two types of people--"thing" people and "experience" people. Thing people have to always be buying stuff, even if they don't really have a need for it. They get happy by buying. Experience people just have enough equipment to use for their pursuits. They'd rather travel or hunt than keep buying stuff that costs so much that they can't afford to hunt or travel.
