What are: gear whores?
I may be the only one that says that
It's my term for people that always have the
newest trendiest ( usually most expensive)
stuff from slamazon and/or the high end
yuppie retailers.
I noticed that trend years ago when I started
seriously bowhunting with a group of people
I became acquainted with.
The man I knew and myself had older proven
gear and didn't have any problems hunting and
camping. Some brought the newest and greatest
gear and most had all new everything each year.
There's only a few I still hunt and fish with and
we don't buy all new everything each year.
I started calling people that feel that they need
the newest greatest improved everything to
kill an animal or catch a fish or sleep outdoors
overnight " gear whores "
Only other people are impressed by new
"neato" everything bought for only a few
weeks of use before "upgrading ".
The animals and fish could care less.
About the same for the popularity of the
"unboxing " videos. I can't grasp it myself.
Years ago they used to say keeping up with
the joneses or similar
