Brought kit & then forgotten about it?

[5 shires]

Was having a clear out of my built in cupboard this morning as I was looking for something and came across 2 bits of kit I brought at the last A.P.F show 2018 a new harness and and a silky Gun Fighter Pruning saw so was thinking it must be true that a lot of the time we tend to buy stuff we don’t really need otherwise in this case I would surely have remembered that I had spent around £400 on kit that I didn’t even realise I had got.?????

Or did you hide it there from the missus!?!

I've bought a stack of stuff at shows before, simply because I didn't actually need anything, most of it never got used.

Same. Im bought loads of things that I've convinced myself I needed. Very few of them actually were

That’s a poor effort really Wayne.

 

Harnesses and Silkys are actually useful.

I re - buy things coz I can't find the ones I know I have . Got 4 x flywheel pullers for example ...

To be fair I didn’t really need the harness as I also have a brand new notch I brought the previous year from thr Arb Show but I knew I had that,as for the Silky your spot on Mike I really needed that so that’s why I brought it but just simply forget as I have been using Samurai for the past 7/8 years.

pete under normal circumstances that would be viable reason to hide stuff from the other half be livening on my own it doesn’t count👍

As an extention to this and it has featured before....

 

Some years back (1990?) I got a Bedford MK4x4 from Shepshed Military Auctions, we used it and the mid mounted winch for several site jobs as the Matador was long in the tooth. The grand plan was to put a sub-chassis on it, reasonable crane and use it for pole erection, winching, loading etc. It was a bit of a 'vanity purchase' as we liked kit. We I went to work for GreenMech, the paperwork was 'lost' as it was parked at my Ag Engineers spot with the project started.

 

It is still there now. It is possible to spot it on Google Earth too! That must be a record for kit that has been forgotten!
