I don't remember the total weight....I looked it up once but over 150
Could rig a pulley system up and raise the anvil up to climbing height and drop it on something. Lots of kinetic energy. Probably wouldn’t be too accurate but would get lots of penetration. LOL.

Cool material possession for sure.

I still have the first DC Wood Duck call I ever bought. It was my first piece of duck hunting gear. Still have it, which now that I think about it is shocking. It's at least 10 years old and still perfectly functional. Sounds better than any other one I've tried. Most of them don't even remotely sound like a real wood duck.

That's probably my only hunting possession that fits the criteria.

But, I have a cast iron skillet that I bought new when my wife and I were still dating. Its been around over a decade. Bought it to fry some mullet in one day because we caught some and were going to cook at her place and she literally didnt have a skillet in the place.

I assume it'll be feeding our daughter soon.

How is that bun cooking anyway? Ours popped out of the oven last week and is laying on me now

Guess it's time for me to chime in on this thread too....it's a good one;
  • My Marlin SBL 1895 lever action in 45-70. Just picking up that gun gives me pleasure. Was a 45-70 fan for years, using a NEF single shot (still have it), and finally pulled the trigger (see what I did there?) on the Marlin a few years ago. My all time favourite gun.
  • My DeWalt cordless tools. Got a pretty big collection of these now. Make working on the place so much easier
  • My customized YZ250 dirt bike, the Purple Beast. Fired it up for the first time this year the other day. Started on the 3rd kick! Woohoo
  • Like others, love my F150.....my third one so far. So useful when you live rural
  • My knife collection....just looking at them and using good blades brings a smile
  • Too early to really add to the list, but my new EXO K4 backpack is likely gonna make this list....so much more comfortable than all my prior cheapo backpacks
  • My Siberian Husky, Ice Storm. She's the best....and memories of my first, Snowmist's Pagan Silver, who will run with me as long as I'm on this earth, though he no longer is (tattoo portrait with his ashes in it)
  • My job. Love it.....doesn't feel like work and extremely satisfying (that would be a long post in and of itself)
Better stop....list is getting too long. In many ways, my life is blessed and I'm very grateful.
