You don’t actually need a lot of stuff, you just need good stuff that you like

I got this jacket like in 1992, can’t really remember more exact then that. It’s still a favorite. Although it’s worn out and leak I use it as often as I can when I go fishing. On days when it’s not poring down with rain, that is. This SST jacket has been to lots of places, from Montana to Mongolia, Norway to New Zealand, Sweden to South Africa, Argentina to the Arctic. It’s taken me through lots of bad weather days, as well as just plain sunshine. I have caught a lot of nice fish when using the jacket - but probably lost even more.

Well-Worn Wading Boots on Christmas Island

On my recent trip to Christmas Island someone told me a story about Moana's wading boots that had seaweed growing out of the tongue because they never dried.

Here is a link to a 2012 Cleanest Line post about those very same boots.
