Here are a few things that have been with me most of the places around the globe that I have been, Orvis wingshooting jacket from 1987, L.L. Bean wool crusher hat, Swarovski 8X30 SLC binoculars, 1967 Nikkormat Ftn w/ a vintage Nikkor 35mm F1.4, bamboo flyrod from my grandfather made in 1939 with an equally ancient Pflueger Medalist reel.

Not shown are a pair of omnipresent Danner boots, which I am trying desperately to convince the other half that I need a new pair since my current pair are actively seeking retirement, I am well on the way since, she has 2 pair of her own which she says, she would choose over me if it came to the wire.

Most of my prized possesions are older than I am, stuff that has a history and you could spend a fascinating evening with around the campfire if they could tell of the adventures they had seen in their extended lives.

I sorely miss my library of hunting, fishing, and outdoors books, since moving here to Sydney. Those days that life dictates that you cannot be afield can be compensated for by evening spent with a good book, a scotch and a fire, unfortunately, life has not allowed many oppurtunities for either lately.

Anyone else have prized possesions that they drag with them around the world for comfort or good luck?
