My first peice of Indy gear was a Peter Bros Hat wich was a gift. I thought I would stop there. Then Bufflehead took me on my first summit and I had a really good time. Then the next thing I knew I was with Bufflehead again on my way to the Canada summit. I have since bought a LL Bean shirt and some close enough for my budget boots. I'm looking forward to ordering a whip soon. #### Bufflehead and IndyGear.com got me hooked so I might as well try and get it all. Really can any of us have enough toys

: I have even started planning the Indy area for my new home theater. Pics of the theater will be posted when its done. I'm even adding framed pics of the summits I attend. Thanks Bufflehead for finding yet another way for me to spend my money

Oh and for those who didnt know it was Bufflehead who got me hooked on the whole home theater idea. But then again what are friends for.

Yeah, but yours is going to be done long before mine, and it was my idea. I just don't get it.

My first piece of Indy Gear was a Stetson "Ark" from the 80s. I still have it today, but is in dire need of reshaping. My first piece of real Indy Gear was my MKVII.

. . . boxes and boxes of stuff . . .

So when does this "hobby" turn into an "obsession"? Though I don't think you need to have boxes to have it be one.

VERY true. 'Obsession' has nothing to do with the acquisition of 'stuff'....it can easily be a specific item or detail. For example, 3K has been chasing the Raiders hat details for years. Regards! Michaelson

Mine was a cheapo whip when I was a young kid. I've had it for about 17 or more years. Around the same time I also made some rope whips to swing on.

The hat was given to me by my dad just after I joined COW.
My first modern gear (after getting on here) was my Fed. Delux, then a better whip (but still cheap), then Jacket, then bag and strap, shirt...etc.

Now I've got a Paul Nolan whip coming next week! Looks great!

I'm pleased you still have the 'spark' for it, agent5. Regards! Michaelson

Yes I do!

I guess I meet your definition of obsession since I pretty much become obsessed with anything to do with Raiders. Especially if it's something new. I usually have more then one thing going on at all times and it does get hard to keep up, but never get's old or boring.
