Throwing the stuff away doesn't solve the problem. It IS the problem.



I agree and I bet many shiny nickels that I have tossed far less in my life
that still had usable life in it than "Joe Average Merican"

I drive a 1992 truck with 241,000 miles and most of my fly rods are 20+
years old, as examples. I'd love a new rod for stillwaters, have wanted it
for probably 10 years, but refuse to buy one as long as my 25+ year old
Scott is still alive ... I refuse for 'environmental ethics' reasons, not
financial

That said, it is amazing how much 'stuff' gets bought, used little, and then
stored. Example: I have 6 dozen heads ONLY for shell goose decoys ... I
can remember that I really 'needed' them for something, back when, but lord
knows what. Hehe, I checked the mfg's website and the replacement heads
are $6/ea. .... I'll try E-Baying them but I wouldn't be surprized to get
zero bids ... I offered them free to at least half dozen local hunters.
