Several there I don't have or want or need. Zippos? I am a smoker but haven't used one in years. I've keep one of my dads in a drawer as a keepsake. A lot of maintenance and they make a smoke taste awful. bentin, do those girls a favor and get butane. I have a couple Blazers but not navy. If everyone has one and wears it to an outing it becomes a uniform. Missing items A pair of coveralls A dog |

Heartily agree on the dog. Even though mine seems to believe the pile carpet in our new house is grass. She had berber before. Oh well.
I'm not sure that my concern for my friend's health and tastes is great enough to make me switch fuels on them. I have various lighters around, but a US made Zippo is still a nice tool.

For those that find this sort of thing interesting. Look for "the art of manliness" newsletter (no affiliation) the name is kind of hokey but the content is often good.

You'll never talk me into coveralls or cowboy boots.

It's been discussed elsewhere on the forum, but i believe that a double-edge safety razor with a good shaving cream should be on this list. I didn't even know the damn things still existed until a few years ago, but it totally changed my shaving game. Gone was the shitty razor-burn all over my neck, and shaving was no longer a horrible task, but sometimes even something I looked forward to.

But to the point, I'd never try to talk anyone into wearing anything they don't like - makes no sense...but I'll say this, the boots - ladies love them (and it puts me at a hint over 6'-6" which is nice).  |

I've been using a DE razor for 5 yrs but have since given up purchasing new blades, vintage razors and a myriad other shaving related products because I have enough to last me a lifetime. When i'm pressed for time I still go back to using a cheap disposable on occasion. I know that's considered heresy in the DE community but sometimes I can't be bothered with the ritual of DE shaving, plus, having a 2 yo that requires your attention every minute of the day means I don't always have the luxury of time. |

Handkerchiefs A shoe shine kit That's called planning. I prefer to just wonder why my hand has welts and where all that brake fluid went. Along that line of reasoning. A box of rubber gloves. Took 40 years and probably some demolished DNA and brain cells to figure this out. Just keep them in the garage and reorder when you use about half. |

Oh yeah. Dipped my bare hands in some Nasty stuff. No more!
The list included a "do all bag", I assume that's what the EDC crowd calls a "go bag". I've started getting one together. Not survivalist minded. Just things that may come in handy on road trips etc. the wife said " you'll never need all that stuff, but it's good your prepared for the zombie apocalypse".

I did that today. Shaving - properly done - requires time and patience and I don't want to rush through it. Sometimes I need to get it done and quickly, and for those times, I keep a handful of three-bladers in the shower. |

Sometimes I need to get it done and quickly, and for those times, I keep a handful of three-bladers in the shower. Traitor! I just do a single pass with no soap. My normal routine is two passes with soap, so this saves a lot of time. Helps if you use good blades and change them frequently. (Personna Med Prep, changed once a week in the summer and every other week in the winter when I have a beard) I also leave the tension off of the blade, or at least at the lightest setting. With soap I use 2.5/6 for the first pass and 3/6 for the second. |

That list was better than I thought it would be. Cast iron pan and one real piece of art stood out to me. I have a few cast iron pans. My main skillet and dutch oven are Griswold and were my grandparents. The dutch oven I could tell had been used on many camp fires. It needed a little cleaning up. Got a good fire going and once it was coals set it in there for about 1/2 hour. Took it out and scrubbed it off and it was like new. I then seasoned it again. We use it in the oven and also camping.

i got a skillet last year.
... what the hell is it for, apart from being like a frying pan that weighs almost as much as me?

I love cast iron skillets. I have one that will last 400yrs.
Bacon, chicken, steaks. You can put it in the oven too, camp fire whatever.
