Does a 1954 Model 70 Featherweight count? Other than that, I’ve got a Böker skinning blade that’s at least 25-30yrs old. I got a browning triple blade knife I've carried for 20 years I broke the best blade on it last year, the dull end point for skinning, but the knife and saw blade is still handy So now it has a knife, saw and a flat head blade. Glass half full my friend.

I have a couple buck knives that I've skinned a couple hundred critters with. I'm still hunting with a rem 700 30-06 I purchased in 2002 . I have a hard time deer hunting with another rifle. Feels like I'm cheating on my wife when I take a different rifle. I have a hunting pack I that's about 19 years old . She's showing her age but I can't find one to replace it with. Then there's my old super elite turkey vest. Is faded and frayed but the turkey's don't mind. I would pay $500 for my 1st buck 110 knife...it was a gift from my grandad and had Jim dandy on the handle...he was in grocery biz and a vendor gave it to him...I was 7 or 8 and my dad handed it to me on a logging road before he went further down and the last words was don't cut yourself....I was so scared to show him my finger when he came to get me 🤣

I’ve got an old duxbak button up shirt in woodland camp that’s older than I am. It was my fathers when he was in his teens. Hangs in the closet and hasn’t seen outside in years and years.

Remington 270 my folks gave me for Christmas in 1985 - model 700
My brother and his wife gave me a turkey vest maybe 30 years ago - the camo on it way out of date - I still take it some each year - sentimental

I have an extensive collection of old school camo and upland hunting clothing. Most of it was given to me by my grandfather and my great uncle, but I’ve bought quite a few pieces on here. Probably the jewel of the collection is a like new set of Browning Hydrofleece in Mossy Oak Treestand.

Too many old guns to mention, just a few Model 59 winchester with fiberglass barrel, model 12 winchester, remington 1100 from the late 50's, and an A5 from the 60's. - knives from the 70's that I alternate carry every day - military bdu's from the 70's that I can still wear in my later 50's - an M1 field jacket from the 70's, some of the first Mossy Oak bottom land camo from 1991 - a 98 Z71 with about 450,000 miles on it - SPAM in a can - Sunbeam bread - French's mustard - salt and pepper -

I don't know how vintage a TreeLounge treestand is it's still just as heavy as it was back in the 1980's. Still use one a couple times a year when I want to test a spot.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I used to love watching the hunting videos of the guy advertising the tree lounge. Always shot them with a 280, and would say lets get down and go to him. I hunted out of one once, and fell asleep.
