    In the thread
    10 bucks a tree?
    The op stated flashlights are one of his vices. That was a new one to me, but got me to thinking about what are the other items we tend to hoard or accumulate more than we really need.
    So Besides firewood and chainsaws what is it for you?
    I have got hooked on Coleman lanterns, have a couple guns:whistle:, and like a really good lawn sprinkler.

    Random metal pieces, lumber (both sawmill and box store), knives, axes/hatchets, bicycles. Really anything that seems useful. I have a 40 foot container that half is dedicated to storage (the other half is a little living quarters). I am only 47 so I have plenty of years left I hope. You never know when you might need these things. Why get rid of something that might be useful?

    I breathed life into a MAG light by replacing the original bulb with an LED. Much brighter light, as expected.
