    Some things you hope not to replace to soon, but some purchases for the long haul

    -Sitka Gear I am going on my 4th season with some of these pieces, but seem to add a few of the new pieces each year to complete my set.
    -Kenetrek Boots, got a pair of these last year and can't believe I waited this long to own such a quality boot.
    -Lone Wolf Stands/Sticks - Going on my 3rd year with these combo's and hopefully many more to come
    -Optics - I have a pair of Swarwoski bino's that I have had for 10 years.
    -Armourtech Sight - Going on my 2nd year with this sight, one of my favorite sights of all time

    Stands
    Not trying to be negative but the fella's who mention stands not having to be replaced that have welded them up themselves or boughten from a manufacture . Need to rethink that,as I have some of mine from day one which goes back 22 years and am now replacing steel meshing on the platforms. Welds break and need re-welding or else they start squeaking with every movement. Nothing more annoying than having to stand to draw at the moment of truth and have your stand give you away to that booner standing 30 yards away!!! Nothing last forever, actually my 1st aluminum stands are still up to snuff. Just repainted a few a year ago. LOL.

    I know nothing last forever.

    But, the things I mentioned (and the things for which I started this thread about) will outlast me.

    No doubt Rocky. I've had to tack a few broken welds on the mesh on my stands.
