1-What bushcraft piece of gear &
2-bushcraft knife do you keep falling in love with the more you use them?

I am not talking about the excitement of new stuff. I am talking about things you had for a while.

For me, Its my BRKT kephart :)
Not this but similar.

I would have to say this combo is among my favorite gear. I got this Plumb axe for $3 at a local flea market and won the JK Roach Belly in one of John's contests. The axe is among the best I've used, and just BLASTS through anything I put it to. The knife has become my go to blade most of the time. And the price was definitely right. ;)

My Dutch Oven is also a favorite.

Without a doubt my Gransfors SFA. Just such a quality item and well made, designed tool.
 
I've really become attached to my RC-4 and my SnowPeak Titanium cups. Two nearly indestructible necessities in the woods. Good thread.
 
For gear, it is without a doubt my stainless steel Kelly Kettle

For knife, I'd have to go with my NWA Woodsman. It's on the big side for a bushcraft
knive, but it's one of those types of knives that just seems to be able to do almost
anything I ask of it.

Gosh, there are lots. I appreciate my JK-AK and JK Hudson Bay more every time I use them. they are reliable and well-built knives. As for gear, I have been wearing the same pair of Columbia hiking boots for four years, and they are still sturdy and comfortable. Not sure how I'll replace them!

But my current 'gear appreciation award' has to go to a more humble pairing: My Leatherman Serac S2 flashlight and my ever-reliable EDC scandi. The reason is simple - I use these two tools every day, whether I'm in the woods or in my office. The scandi in particular is my constant companion.

I have to say this too. I've had mine for nearly a year and I use it a bunch.

Also my Nitecore D10 torch, if you consider that a bushcraft tool.
 
Becker Machax, Fenix L2D, Vic Spirit, Buck Alpha Dorado, Bravo1, Gunny, damn, I must be a knife knut!

Most used item this past year has probably been my Woolrich Buffalo shirt !
 
Lee Reeves hatchet. I have both the single and double (Sears grind) bit. I carry the double more. The quality, fit, finish and utility simply makes them a pure joy. I waited for 15 months to get them. I have never seen handles as ergonomically designed as his. Worth every penny, and the wait. Simply magnificent.
 
Maxpedition Falcon II (Love that pack)
Snow Peak Solist titanium cookset + Maxpedition bottle holder
S-Curve (still feeling the joy)
