mackay 3,346 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Creosoted my double carrying box for my ferrets yesterday, It was made by my first tradesman when I started my apprenticeship in 1980 making it 27yrs old. It's still in great nick and is testament to old Berties workmanship. What' your oldest piece of equipment still in use ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 0 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 My bars my oldest bit of kit it's about 50 year old weighs a bit but it doesn't bend no matter how much force you put on it. It was my grandads then my dads and now I use it seems starnge looking at really old black and white pics of my Grandad with the terriers tied to it knowing that its still being used for the purpose he made it for even now.

Guest SJM Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Good topic Apart from my crumbly old rabbit hounds my oldest bit of kit is my lucky bit of lamping string, Ive had it about 10 years it doesnt get used these days but I keep it hanging up as a keepsake. It saved my life one night I was out and a cow charged me, I just had time to slip the dog and try to jump out of the way, the cow kept coming so I lashed out at it with the bit of rope and hit it on the head which made it swerve at the last minute. Its just a smelly old bit of rope knotted at both ends that I used to use to keep one dog on the slip when I was lamping the other one, but having lost umpteen knives, leads, gloves and even a mobile phone whilst out hunting, I think I did pretty damn well managing to keep this one bit of string all those years Edited August 22, 2007 by SJM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) It's not really mine, but the oldest piece of kit I use is my old man's HW35e. He bought it second hand when I was about 13. I'm 30 now and it still shoots sweet as a nut. Edited August 22, 2007 by maltenby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 It must be my trusty old spade, about twenty years old now. It's only had two handles and one new blade, still looks like new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scuba1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 As far as hunting goes, it is my knife, an old Puma white hunter. Must be over 40 years old now but it is still with me on every outing. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
