I've often wondered if the problem is generic. Does the natural urge to store things such as food, arms, or utensils turn us into packrats that store more than we can use, and eventually into collectors of useless items for personal pleasure? I've got a house, barn, and two old granaries full of stuff that could satisfy all three of these theories. Right there with you, brother. Best, Ted

Some of mine that I'll call "having useless value". An 1800s 40 caliber muzzleloading rifle in terrible condition, and a Martini action.

For me it's a small poplar tree that was at the cover where I saw my first grouse. I took it years ago and put it behind the small couch in my gun room. Sitting in the room often reminds me why I'm "out there". Karl

Geo. Many thanks. It's where I go after cleaning birds/showering to clean the gun as well as a couple "fingers" of Famous Grouse. It also comes in handy when the sister-in-law and other in-laws come to haunt! Simply close the door, light the pipe and pour the the drink over ice! Best wishes for the coming season, Karl
