What is the oldest thing you take with you camping or rving?

Mom-in-law's tea towels from the 1930s made into pillow covers.

My husband! Beyond that it is our LaFuma lounge chairs that we bought 20 years ago and they are still in perfect condition other than needing to replace the elastic bands that hold the mesh in place. They weren't cheap 20 years ago but well worth the price.

My Grandads hunting compass. Small, brass and pins to your jacket so even I can't lose it.

Other than that, much of our original gear was picked up at yard and estate sales back in the 80's. It was older than dirt then. lol

Just asked my hubby the question...his answer...my wife, LOL. He is telling the truth.

Item...our 20 year old Coleman propane stove.

My father-in-law's wool USMC blanket from WWII.

Along a similar train of thought, during one break on a long hike, I was trying to figure out the oldest item of hiking gear I owned. It turned out to be my emergency whistle; I had worn out and replaced everything else.

That's cool - in that vein we have old radio programs from the 40s. They are stored on a USB stick which we plug into our stereo for entertainment when we're without shore power. Not sure this counts though... :h

Although the answers about 'me' or 'my wife' are hilarious, it appears you didn't read the post.

45 rpm records from the 50s.

At 72 I'm the oldest thing in the rig.
