Camera - Fuji X-Cams - Use them at work daily, use them for fun occasionally. X-Pro-1 and X-E1 bodies, smattering of lenses. They are digital cameras, but they function much more like old school film cameras. Love them.
Camera Bags - Billingham, England. Enough Said.
Binoculars - I use Canon Image Stabilizing Binoculars every day at work, and they are WONDERFUL. If you don't need that, I love the Redfield Bincoculars I purchased a few years ago, wonderful optical clarity.
Wristwatch - Tudor Black Bay Steel - Fantastic wristwatch. COSC Chronometer rated, In-House Movement, Excellent Bracelet. It's a daily tool, not cheap, but has served me very well for the last few years. I recently started a thread on the Omega Speedmaster my wife purchased for me for our 11th Anniversary. I love that watch, I have been wearing it ever since I got it, but the Tudor is a great do it all tool watch.
Wallet - Maxpedition Spartan. Legit.
Firearms - The new Smith and Wesson 586 Classic is a very nice revolver. It has the "Hillary Hole", but the bluing and action are still very good. I am also partial to my HK USP 9. As far as scopes, I have owned Leupold, Nightforce, Bushnell and SWFA. I have bought and sold stuff, but my current stuff is sporting Leupold and SWFA optics.
Fishing Rods - Fenwick. You can get a great rod for around $100.00.
Fishing Reels - Shimano Calcutta. Enough Said.
Wrenches - SK. You can still buy SK stuff online, and their long pattern wrenches are fantastic and comfortable to use, without the Snap On Price.
Ratchets - Cornwell USA. EXTREMELY UNDERRATED!
Pocket Knives - Spyderco. I have a few Benchmade's and Kershaw's. I still love my Spyderco the best. For fixed blade knives, I love my Randall's.
