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 🤣
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

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My brother and his wife gave me a turkey vest maybe 30 years ago - the camo on it way out of date - I still take it some each year - sentimental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.

I still break out my Duxback bibs on colder days. I got them when I was in high school (around 97-98). They have been good to me for a good while. I think I gave $50 for them from Walmart back then.

I use all kinds of old gear. It isnt even broke in unless it is 20 years old. Still use many guns and gear frim the 1920s-50's.
My son uses my camo from the 80's.
Heck, my back up chainsaw is from the 1960s. Mufflers have come a long way since then and automatic oilers are handy too.

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.
