    What is the one item that you cannot own enough? Not really a collection, but more like hats or something.

    Mine is jackets, which is absurd considering I live in LA. But I just really freaking love jackets.

    Maps - I love maps
    Glassware - Pint glasses, mugs, beer glasses, etc.
    Totes - For some reason I am addicted to putting everything I own in totes
    Hats- I have a lot of them. I have trouble throwing them away so they just accumulate.
    Sweatshirts – I’m very comfortable in sweatshirts and I can never have enough
    Clean fresh new socks.

    Sunglasses. If I am outside and it's sunny, I have to have on sunglasses. It drives me nuts if I don't. Sometimes I even wear them when it's cloudy. Seriously.

    I have a tendency to collect...anything, so, I can't allow myself to collect anything or it would only be a matter of time before you saw me on one of those "hoarder" reality shows showing off my "collection" of screws, nails, magazines, nail clippings, bird feathers, pieces of straw, etc.

    It used to be bows. I've owned over 30 of them in the past 10 years. I trimmed the stable down though and only have two as of today. I still have an arrow collection that's pretty ridiculous though, I need to sort through it and sell them off.......I'd bet I have in the ballpark of 20-30 dozen arrows in my basement right now. Lots of unopened packs, some that have had 2-3 taken out, and certainly tons that have a half dozen more more that are brand new. My best bud Dan (Jaws) hasn't had to buy arrows for years and we haven't even put a dent in the pile yet.

    I'm starting to accumulate a fishing rod collection that resembles my old bow collection too. I have a new GLX and NRX showing up today and tomorrow too.......I've gotta go through that collection and thin the herd a bit.

    Hats - don't know how many, but according to the wife it's "Too Damned Many."
    Flashlights - I'm one of those guys who can't walk by a display with 10 flashlights for $7 and not pick up the collection. Again, not sure how many of those I have, but I do occasionally throw one out.
    Knives - another makes my wife mad thing, but when I picked up some really sharp ones for the kitchen it was okay, having bought a "lot" of little key-chain multi-tool, flashlight, knife, screwdriver, pliers things, she used to get frustrated about those, but when she realized that she can use them to change batteries in the kids little toys, cut open a plastic package that is being pain in the arse, or tighten a little nut on something that was loose, the finally decided that they were okay.

    This is me. Although I don't own a lot of pairs, I am almost never without a pair on even mildly bright days.

    I can never have enough tubes of chapstick. I have several laying around everywhere, but I never have one when i need one.

    I have way too many pairs of running shoes

    I have a lot of lightweight jackets that I hardly ever wear.

    T Shirts. I have an insane amount of tshirts. Could probably wear a different one every day and not have to do laundry until Thanksgiving.

    I too have a lot of jackets with zero need for them now that i reside in Bama.

    Turkey Shotgun Shells. IDK why but I seem to buy 1-2 boxes a year, even though I only use 2 maybe 3 shells a year. I have no need to pattern the gun anymore, and I've still never missed a gobbler when pulling the trigger. I probably have enough to make it til spring 2025 if I just use up the ones I have leftover.

    Fishing lures.. Seems like I go through so many but still have a lot. I own four of the same kind just because it has treated me well the past two years.
    Tree stands would be another. Just took them all down and realized that I didn't even use some. Need to cut back on them.

    T shirts. I literally have tubs of them in our attic. For some reason I just can't make myself throw them out.

    Lately it seems like clothes for the kids. Buy them something and they outgrow it in a few days, so it seems.

    Can't get enough "Little George" baits from Mann's Baith Co. I lose a lot of them bouncing on bottom but wow they catch fish.
