I would add Lacrosse Iceman boots to my list too. I bought some new boots after almost 20 years, gave the old boots to my son, then gave my new boots to my son and took the Iceman boots back. After reading through this my wish list is getting pretty long. Starting with some Filson clothes.

8" smallmouth bass pattern, wooden phantom. I'm pretty sure I could get a follow in my bathtub with it. Shed a tear when my leader failed on a backlash and it sailed off on its final cast.
Another vote for Steger mukluks. Best gear purchase ever.
95 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder. Just sold it last week. If its replacement is 2/3 as good, I'll be lucky.

My 1969 Starcraft V180 with the original 1969 Johnson 115 Horse. I glassed in new stringers, floor, and transom. And replaced the seats. It's a great boat. She does it all.

My 2008 Honda Ruckus. The summer of 2008 it spent most of it's time in a garage going through a complete custom build. It has 13,000 miles on a small 49cc motor.

Thermacell!! Ive had it out a few times and thought it was doing its job but didnt notice a lot because there werent many bugs in the first place but yesterday I brought it out to the swamps of the minnesota river valley to take my dog for a walk. I was in chest high weeds around the swamp with bugs everywhere I thought I was gonna be carried away. Then I turned the cell on and hardly even saw another mosquito. It was absolutely amazing. Im a believer in the thermacell

1) 1995 BMW M3 - fast fun and no computers ruining the experience

2) Diawa Luna 300L - they are smooth and are tanks!

3) Viscious Florocarbin (for bass fishing) - strong as nails and easy on the pocketbook.

4) Garmin GPS - gets me to all my fishing places safely and without planning (this Year I have 10 states fishing licenses so I travel a lot!)

5) Lone Wolf hand climber - you can take my bow but you can never take my climber!

-Big red Abu 7000 - seem to read lots about abu issues, but each year the handle just keeps going around and around with nothing more than a clean and lube.
-Tackle Industries Rods: wow.
-Rocky waterproof boots with 1000gram thinsulate. Feet have never been wet nor cold in them.
-Pearson Grinder: yeah, I know, it's Dick's creation and it is expected to be good. But it's really, really good.
-Phantom Softail: added to arsenal last year; may be THE cold front crusher.
-VMC hooks: thought Mustad were the way to go until I tried these.

My 2007 F150 which gets almost 20 mpg. My 01 F150 got 15 mpg. What is with that?

ABU reels, Gander Mountain Muskie rods, 80 lb Tuff Line Plus, and CJs spinner baits. That combo is working so well lately that my shoulder is sore from fighting fish.

My Dad gave me an EZE Lap diamond stone as a Christmas present, he said an outdoorsman should always have a means to sharpen his tools whether it's a pocket or hunting knife or fish hooks or anything else that need a good edge to do the job at hand..... EZL26M, it comes with a nice leather pocket pouch.

http://www.hand-tools.com/product-overview.php?brand=EZE-LAP

Needle sharp hooks & razor sharp knives. I now have two because I thought I lost the one that he gave me.... That one now resides in my boat. The other is in my truck. It's now automatic to just drop it in my pocket when I get out to hunt or fish.

Actually I probably should post this in the "Best Products" thread. The base for the diamonds/sharpening surface is stainless steel bar so no worries about rust - unlike hardened steel files.

Have fun!

Ranger 620 2005 hull...

+1 on the old 225 hp hull.  My favorite of the 620's and we've talked about that before. 

I'd have mentioned my Just Encase boxes, but that goes without saying.

Tackle Industries Rods. Bought 2 from James last fall, one each in XH telescopic with full fat cork and one split grip. Have taken a beating already and are still top notch. Just got an XXH telescopic fat cork yesterday morning, put it through the paces with rubber and double tens last night. Have never used a better rod for either application. Bomb casting dawgs was effortless, jerking them back was smoother than ever and required less effort than softer rods. Burning in double tens was the same, the rod absorbs so much more of the resistance and softer sticks.

Exceptional job/product once again James!

Muskie Train's Diesel Bait! They are built extremely durable and can take an absolute punishment. Troll them fast or slow; they will run great and boat you plenty of fish. I have had tremendous luck with their product.
