>>1821658>>1821727Who cares even if it's true? You found something awesome and disregarded, make it work! There's something primordially satisfying about using equipment/things you've salvaged or repaired personally.
For me, it's:
>fishing rod I replaced a few guides on>a shitty spinning fishing reel I completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected for damaged and reassembled by memory.>a rust-covered knife I found in some rocks at the surf and repaired. All of these things aren't worth much money, but they're all my favorite items. I have a connection with them and they bring a lot of utility.
