That's easy ... ammo. Although since we have started reloading I get all warm and fuzzy when I find a shelf full of small pistol primers, too ...

Mine would be knives. I have all the other camping gear, guns, food preps, water storage, etc. I have more knives now than I could need in a lifetime - mostly fixed blades. But each time I go to a gun show or happen across one that appears to be really well crafted, I buy it. I tell myself it would be good barter, but then I know most will already have a blade and I would hate to part with mine.

Truth is, I see a kind of artistic expression in the custom blades. The good ones anyway, and I can't help but appreciate the work that goes into making them. So, if anyone needs a good knife, let me know.

Any type of portable, manual gardening equipment... mainly containers for planting, and seeds.

My fishing gear was already set-up years ago!!! I've got enough gear for 6 people.

I guess anything involving eating is my fetish. LOL (Rut row?)

Flashlights, they dont have to be expensive either, LED, maglights, headlight types, cheap plastic ones. I don't know why but i'm allways looking at flashlights.

I have always been a little overboard with ANY kind of edged weapon. Hell show me a sharpened entrenching tool and I get excited!

Nice eyes and a nice set of legs, not this trashy fat ass crap the rappers have tried to make famous but a nice toned set of get away sticks...

oh, wait, sorry, I didn't read the thread all the way through.

Knives for sure.

This may raise moral qualms from other members, but here goes:

My fetish is stealing handfuls of medical supplies when I visit my doctor(s). Nothing really expensive (as if that is a valid excuse), but rather stuff that is in the drawers in the exam room: Hypo needles and sharps, big bandages, little packets of Neosporin. I do an inspection of my supplies before I go so I do not just grab randomly, but rather I have a mental list of items I need.

Some stuff, like the little packets of Neosporin and big bandages I could probably track down and buy myself, but hypos and sharps are not available to the general public, I am told, unless you are a diabetic. Otherwise it is against the law (indeed, when my brother was a druggie, years ago, he got arrested right in front of me for felony possession of drug paraphernalia: a needle).

I don't take hardware like sterilized scissors and tweezers, as I am afraid those will be missed, but rather stuff that they go through a lot of on a daily basis. I do not see it as a big expense for the doctor (another excuse). I do not take so many so as to alert the restocking person. (yet another excuse). So yeah, it might even count as a mental illness.
