The oldest thing I take is my M28 S&W; it dates from the late 50’s. Next would be my old tent camping Coleman gas stove and lantern dating from the 60’s. But I only take it on winter hunting trips in frigid weather. It saved my rear end when everything in my PU froze and the propane wouldn’t light. And I have an old coffee percolator of unknown vintage that we routinely use since I don’t carry any electronics or electrical appliances. Oh, and my old down jacket, also 1960’s vintage but still better than the new stuff with feathers in it. And my 60’s vintage Vasque mountain boots that I’ve worn out two sets of vibram soles on and they’re finally starting to look a little beat up. I notice they’ve put on weight, though; they’re a lot heavier than they used to be.:) I guess I’m an aficionado of the old stuff.
