One of these? :



Yep, I've got one as well. Fairly sure it's older than I am

Similar, but older - stove shape wider at base, parallel sides above, leather strap - long since disappeared - on top of case.

I still use my 1980s Capri canvas frame tent, but only in the garden... Same applies to my ancient (1970) six-man ridge tent.

Otherwise there's a set of tin plates and mugs from the 60s, a few sets of camping cutlery in little bags from the 80s, a table from the 80s...

Once something is covered, I rarely update stuff, and never throw stuff away or sell it, so my gear is from right across the ages...  There's probably a neolithic Gaz lamp out in the garage somewhere...

Me too! Those items were made with good stuff by people who could take a bit of time over it and pride in it, so now they're still holding up and giving satisfaction after many years!

We have a PortaPotti camp toilet and a Camping Gaz Grillogaz that my husband's parents bought about 30 years ago when they went camping as a young family. They gave them to us when we started camping with our kids. I know they're not that old but I was really delighted to get them, I gave them a good buff up and even took photos I was so proud! It was just great that we didn't have to spend the money to buy them new.

so much gear so little boot

I still have a pen knife that was given to me as a cub scout by my Dad, a kind of father son rite of passage I suppose, it has a fork, a spoon, a blade and a tin opener, it's whittled many a stick I tell ya....
