Survival Punk | Ep577: The Gear You’ll Never Use (And Why You Bought It Anyway)

from Contra Radio Network · host john jeffers

There’s a lot of gear that looks cool, feels cool to buy, and then quietly sits in a closet for years. In this episode, I’m talking about the stuff that rarely gets used — the gear you bought anyway — and how to think about whether it was a smart purchase or just fantasy prepping. Some of this gear is absolutely worth owning even if you never use it. Other gear should probably be getting a lot more reps than it does.
