Oldest piece of gear is my gun. All older than 1972. No, wait, my hunting knife is circa 1937 Kabar with stacked leather handle. I have no new technocrap. Someone stole my GPS a few months ago and I still haven't replaced it. No technocrap other than that, and it's gone.

I have a Buck pocket knife my brother gave me in 1972 and my 264 Win Mag that I bought in August 1970.

The oldest piece of gear that I use regularly is a blaze hat that I bought when blaze was relatively new to hunting in general in 1969. I have worn it every year since and it still reminds me each and every time I put it on of hunts with my father and older brothers. I have other, newer ones with Gore-tex and better insulation, but they don't feel quite "right".

The oldest thing I take with me would be my aging a$$. During spring gobbler season, I regularly use a cedar scratch box my dad made some fifty years ago, and I occasionally call in a gobbler with it.

Just like scratch, I wear a lot of my dads old hunting clothes. My favorite is a bone dry red head jacket from when he was in high school. As for the time I've been hunting, my browning cap that my dad bought for me and have been wearing it for 10 years. As for new, My range finder I guess, I dont carry much techno stuff. But I dont find anymore enjoyment out of one thing than another. Each thing I take is valuable to my hunt

It was my grandfathers hunting knife, untill I lost it last season...Since then I have bought the exact same knife as I was able to locate it on the internet, but its just not the same (guess it'll take a few generations).

A flint knife handmade by my greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreat grandfather,on my mothers side.

My favorite pair of boots is a 13 year old pair of Danners. Most of the old equipment I own stays at home.

On occasion I will fish a Goodwin Granger bamboo fly rod made in Denver Co. in 1937.

I am ashamed and proud to say that about everything I take afield is so old, I can't remember ever hunting without it,,,,

An orienteering style compass that I bought for NCO School in 1972 and a Buck knife my late father in law gave me about 20 years ago. It goes if I go.

A World War One compass in a nickel-plated brass case. It has a snap-front cover with "U.S." stamped on its face. I bought it at a gun show many years ago, and I haven't seen another one like it in a long while.

Since I'm a first-generation hunter that is still fairly new to it, it would have to be my old knife.

My grampas wool mackinaw from the 30's. Its drying next to the woodstove as I type, considering I took a swim cheching traps this evening. Not fun.

My Grandpa's pre-64 Mod. 70, .270. The only thing I've changed on it is the scope. It's stock is beat to hell, and the blueing is all worn off around the end of the barrel, and I absolutely love it! The cheaper the ammo, the better the groups and it is my "go to" gun for deer.

I've got a down vest I wear under all my gear in the winter. Has to be at least 15 years old and keeps my core warm and comfortable w/ little noise. I find the best "new" technology is in accessories, optics, and archery equipment. Some accessories I recommend are a comfortable pair of thing gloves that can keep your hands dry, A great set of binoculars (and if you can afford it, some night vision optics), and a bow made in the last 3 or so years. Outside of that, just be safe and hunt.
