Untill I got married ( read that as still had disposable income) I had three sets of gear.
1 the fresh new flash stuff I was using.
2 the stuff that may not have been worn out but had been superseded by group 1
3 the stuff that was worn out I should have thrown out. But I kept because Dad was still a Scout leader and would hit me up for a bed roll or mess set or something. It NEVER came back.
My wife got me a Book loan cheque book. On the long section you write the name of the book, date, your name and contact details that goes with the book like a book mark. On the stub goes name of the book the loanees details and the date. I explain I have to do it because I have a memory like a sieve ( I don't) and if I didn't I would forget who I loaned books to. ( I know the last person I saw with every book I ever owned), had never had one of those books with the cheque thing fail to return, maybe because the evidence is there. I have a small circle of friends ( three actually ) and we have books go left and right with abandon no problems.

I'm still waiting for these to come home.
I have given my Brother seven or eight knives over the last 20yrs he doesn't have any left. Most have been stolen out of various cars. including the last a Spydie Co-pilot last year from his unlocked work car out the front of his house.
He has had renal failure I don't want to give him a kidney because going on previous experience he would loose that and come asking for another one!!
( yeah ok bad taste, he has got IGA and family are excluded from donating because it may turn up in us yet)
