One I'd say is my Peet shoe dryer w/ extensions....have put mine thru incredible use with my 3 sons and myself and it has lasted over 20 years!

Howaboutyou?

Sledge O Matic for chopped veggies

My ThighMaster!

Grip-n-Pull bullet puller. I'll never use a hammer-type inertia puller again!

A 4wd tractor and a set of forks for the loader. H

Treadmill for the wife.......

Buns of Steel!

The list is long, but the list of crap I bought and now have no idea why I ever needed it is much longer.

An electric blanket. No more slipping my tootsies between cold sheets at night.

A Lansky sharpener. I can't hand sharpen a blade worth squat but that thing keeps every knife in the house hair poppin' sharp. Got a bench strop to go along with it for in between touch ups.

A Beavertail sled and a Helinox chair for winter predator hunting, living large.

G Loomis rods, I started buying them when they first hit the market and it transformed the way I fish. I haven't bought one of the new ones made in the past 10-15 yrs, but I wouldn't trade my old IMX's for anything.

65 hp Kubota tractor with cab! That’s the biggest, “happy purchases”.....too many small to mention! memtb

LOL.

Waffle iron

Wal Mart Weatherby Vanguard

Lots of stuff I'm glad I bought - but three things that stand out are the air compressor big enough to drive pneumatic tools, the commercial-grade table saw (on my second one now, and highly recommended - Sawstop), and the Maxant honey extractor.

On the other side of things, the healthiest change in my life since getting married was when I bought my first canoe.

Snow blower and riding mower.

Upgraded wood stove this year - gosh am i grateful. Warmer, more convenient, uses half the wood, looks perty.

Themacell and Jewell trigger.

Finally built and paid in full a detached 2 car Garage with large compressor, epoxy floor, shelving, roll away tool boxes plenty of LED lighting with rec room above ...no more rolling around in the gravel !

‘Cause I looked in my barn, and under my bed, and didn’t see one...

This!

Laser tape measure. Never need someone to hold the other end of the tape measure ever again. Ever. I don't get along well with others. Was skeptical at first but these things are scary accurate.

My Hoola-hoop keeps me slim and trim.





No seriously...., My Birdfeeder has provided hundreds of hours of entertainment.

Always a good choice.

my original Leatherman tool. I have used it every day since.

Honda Trail 110 has taken me places I'd never have gone without it.

My flats skiff has been an unbelievable joy.

My Harley has kept me young....

Rats..... I'm really glad there's rats in Africa. I knew my $ donations would be used well.

My 2sebenty

Big Kahuna portable shower. Used at our hunting cabin and the house during the last hurricane nonsense.

Bootsfishing: The greatest, most wonderful, most rewarding, most life affirming thing I have ever bought is my home in SW Montana with a wonderful view of 7 (seven) ranges of the Rocky Mountains!
Its quiet, tranquil, warm, safe and the sunrises and sunsets alone are worth way more than the purchase price.
I won't ever give this place up.
Among the small things I have bought that I have been more than happy with are:
#1: Bausch & Lomb American made Zephyr binoculars
#2: Wally Siebert made bore inspection scope
#3: Leupold scopes
#4: Leatherman Super-Tools
#5: My Glock pistols
#6: My Nikon cameras
#7: My Unertl spotting scope
#8: My complete collection of Jack O'Connor Hunting books and novels
#9: My Eddie Bauer down filled sleeping bags (they have been going strong for 40+ years now!)
#10: The 1996 Dodge Cummins diesel 4x4 stick shift extended cab I bought new (130,000 miles on it and still going REAL strong!)

A ring for a pretty young lady over 51 years ago.

Nice. I can see i need to get to know you better, DMc.

I really like my GSP, Babe, a 22-250 Wby Varmint Master, 270 Wby mag, old Zeiss 8x30 bga, newer Zeiss 15x bino and Leupold spotter, Browning A-5 20 ga, Win 9422mag lever rifle and Shimano and Abu Garcia Revo and Amb reels.

Those old silver 5500Cs are great casting reels still today if using mono.

Yep, the ol' Peets boot dryer is an awesome device.


I use mine every night from November through about May.



Dewalt 20v tools have become the latest 'obsession'.

Super handy chit.

$1 bamboo back scratcher last week, shoulda had one for decades.

Best invention since the wheel!!!

Probably my Martin D18...
But the Excalibur micro crossbow I just got is pretty cool....

Got to be more to the story than that. Let's hear it.

With all the old white dudes on here im suprised no one posted mail order Filipina brides

TFF!!

I thought they banned Bump Stocks!

1999 Chevy 3/4 ton gasser. Thing is gonna go forever. Snowplow for my wheeler. Sitka hunting pants.

Lots of great answers. I will echo some of them.
Yes, an engagement ring for a lovely young lady in 1982.
Also a new 1982 Toyota 2WD pickup w/ the 3/4 ton spring pack along with the 76 Honda XL 350. My oh my, the places we went with 4 dirt bikes in the back, and the times we had on those bikes.
The 20 acres of ground which my house sits upon, and it pastures the horses and beef.
A Ford 8N just like Bristoe's which kept a mile of access road graded and cleared of snow, and the fields plowed, disced, planted, and corrugated for the last thirty years.
My first horse, a gorgeous black quarter horse mare. With the easiest gait of anything I have ever rode.
More modern times? There is the model 70 classic in 264 right after the classic came out.
Oh, more modern than that. A little 16 foot Lund with a 20 hp Merc, for fishin' with the grandkids.
A 2004 Suzuki Vinson 500 4x4 ATV. It gets started almost every day, and it spends all winter with a little 4x8 trailer on it which I use to feed hay to the livestock.

Nothing has saved my ass out in the hills more my Safety Seal tire fixing kit and my cigarette lighter air compressor.

Wherebouts in SW MT? I'm looking at a job in that part of the world.

I'm game!!! Met "damnyankee308" the other day. Great guy too.

Carrying plywood! (?)

Looks a lot like when I was a kid.


Cept a tackle box on the back and a pump Winchester in a forward facing scabbard.


You could take a bungee strap and go around the skinny part to secure your 22. \

Forward facing just like in a John Wayne movie.

That boy looks like he is gonna be okay.

They're sweet little bikes! Go fuggin anywhere! Near straight up if you shift into low range.

I have an orange 90.


Gonna fix it up for the kids I reckon.

Always wanted an orange one. If I find one reasonably priced I'll snag it. They made them yellow too, but those always look dirty.

I never knew they came in any color but orange until recently.

Orange is RARE

I did not know that. I had better hang on to it!


Grandpa turned me loose on that thing when I was 8 or so.

We bought the middle boy a 50 recently.

Its actually kind of amazing how much bigger the 90 is.

Yessir, the 90-110 is more adult sized. Show us a picture of the 50.

for ripping out glued down carpet.

I have some fun stuff..... Stuff I am proud of, family heirlooms, cool toys, nice guns....

But I would run into my burning house and die, just to save my wife and our dog. That is all that matters to me. EVER.

Makes sense!

We just unloaded it and he took off.

A friend of mine has 2 of then near Abilene. I can contact him if you're interested. Let me know via PM.

Very COOL Jim!

Here's our crew:

Yes Sir! Thats great!

...and more:

PM sent.

Fun way to bring the cows home!

It's true.... I sired them all!

I am so puffed up proud when we are moving cows together....its a good thing!

You outta be proud! I used to herd cows on horseback with a friend and owner of the herd. Got me Deer Hunting privileges.



....and varmint calling. (It was actually better than the deer hunting!)

Allen Junek and I have been friends for about 28 years, give or take. I swear, I think he could parallel park a flats boat and not take it off plane.

As for one item, I ought to pick something like a Pre64 Model 70, but I am going to go with Bosch oscillating multi tool. I bought that thing for one hard job, and I cannot remember how many other uses I have put it to that I couldn't have done as well without it.

Whats a Flats boat for?

Sorry for the dumb question, but we dont have stuff like that up here.

Not a dumb question at all. Extensive areas of shallow saltwater are called "flats." A deep flat is maybe three feet deep. A shallow flat is less than a foot. A good flats boat with a tunnel hull will run on plane in four to six inches over hand sand bottom. But the boat requires maybe eight inches to float if not running. This fact leads to arithmetic many first time flats boat owners may not be initially aware of, but soon learn!

Boob job for my next-door neighbor's wife.

Kelbro - you know the rule: No photo; didn't happen. LOL

Same here. For years I was a shade tree mechanic, or worked on stuff in an old barn, and had to make do under the worst of conditions. Finally broke down and built a garage, and have really enjoyed it all these past years. Warm in the winter, cool in summer, and a good dry concrete floor to crawl around home, not to mention all the tools stored in one place.

I'll also add a tractor with a frontend loader. I had no idea how much I would use one until I finally bought one. Now I don't know how I'd ever be able to get along without one.

Things I enjoy

1. Jet boat. 27 ft. 8.1 liter built to 400 HP with Hamilton 212 pump built up for the motor
2. Cabela's 10x binos made by Meopta
3. Sonic cleaner and I should have acquired one many years earlier
4. My 36 x 48 man cave/shop.
5. My black lab named Thor
6. My scriptures

I like my Toyota Tacoma's........

current '14.......had to look high & low for the 6 speed manual

most recent handgun purchase.......

H&K P30 40 S&W.....

more accurate than I am......helluva weapon !

A couple others are my XM radio for the truck, Leatherman tool, Keen Detroit pull on boots, My mother's cast iron skillets (didn't buy ..hand me down)...

Home Depot Husky tool box/workbench. Just got it and can't stop messing around with it. Best thing I've bought myself in a long time...

I was going to post for Bristoe, "the marriage licence" that got him his lovely bride, and Steelhead it would be all the condoms over the years.

My Rem 760 30-06.
The Yamaha 660 I had. A real work horse.
The Yamaha Grizzly 700 I have now.

Jim Conrad,

Fun videos, thanks for sharing. Yep, we all got that lesson, at about that age.

2018 Honda Pioneer 700 Deluxe

I've been giving this some thought and I have to say my Rokon. Anything else can pretty much substitute for something similar and yes, I have four wheelers and that CT110 Honda right now too, but nothing in my experience goes where that specialized Rokon does. I hauled a ten point across a beaver dam with that thing and a nine point on the back through a 3' deep creek and no wheeler would do that kind of thing.

made me laugh

My llamas. They've been a lot of fun during summer pack trips plus adding at least 5 years to my hunting life. I'm to old now to pack elk quarters but my llamas do it easily.

You sure seem to know a lot about carpet.......
