Found this Frictionite 00 hone at a flea market yesterday for two bucks.
Goodwill find
Well I don't usually go to thrift stores because I never luck out! Tonight I was looking for some wool or leather for a project. I found two Thermarest Ridge Rests for $2 (sell for $20 ea) that were brand new. I like to use these for winter camping to provide extra insulation on the snow. Although spruce boughs are nice, there aren't always trees!
Its not the best deal I've gotten at a Thrift Store but I found a nice like new lightweight Colombia button up long sleeve for $12.00
Two weeks ago I stopped by Home Depot to see if I could find any of those $25 5 Piece Camping Sets (Tent, 2 Mummy Bags and 2 Sleeping Pads).
They ended up being $1 for each set...I got two, in case any of my buddies that don't have their own gear decide to tag along on a camping trip.
They also had the Leatherman Wingman and Style CS set for $20 so I grabbed two of those as well.
Some of my recent Goodwill and Salvation Army scores:
EMS Goretex jacket
Mountain Hardwear soft shell jacket
LL Bean wool sweater
EMS wool sweater
REI fleece jacket
Mad Bomber hat
Outdoor Research hat
Marmot hiking pants
The most expensive item was the mtn hardwear jacket at $14.99
A few flea market finds over the last year:
TNF Cats Meow sleeping bag $10
EMS external frame pack $15
Pearson compound bow $20
150' climbing rope $15
15 black diamond carabiners $1 each
TNF goretex parka and pants $25
Here's some pics of the flea market finds

Wow...nice find! That's the best stove Coleman built in my opinion.Originally Posted by Shnick
Coleman 2 burner stove. Brand new in the box, still had tape on it. Little 3n1 got the dried residue off.
Also snagged a $4.00 Lodge cast iron skillet and a cast iron muffin pan of unknown origin.

I found some ACU digital pattern nylon fabric at Wal-Mart yesterday for $1.97/yard. Bought 5 yards, later that day decided that was too good a deal, went back and bought the rest of the bolt. Looks like some tarps and maybe bivy type stuff in my future
That reminds me of the stuff my grandfather always made in his workshopI know it's not a piece of gear but I found this cool little had carved and painted duck at the Salvation Army today for 99 cents.
