What’s the Oldest Piece of Outdoor Gear You Still Use?

New gear gets attention, but old gear carries stories.

Maybe yours is a dented camp mug, a fishing reel passed down through the family, a well-maintained knife or a cast-iron skillet that has cooked countless breakfasts.

Tell us in the comments: What’s the oldest piece of gear you still bring outdoors? How long have you had it, and what keeps it going?

If you have a photo and a maintenance tip, share those too. The best field wisdom often comes from equipment that has already stood the test of time.
