What do you collect?

[Heather14]

What a great thread. I collect old backpacking stoves. I am an old hippy backpacker from the late 60's and I always loved the details of the stoves I used. The present day stoves just don't have the detail and workmanship of the old stoves.

I'm wicked late typing in this thread but iv'e always enjoyed collecting rocks
i used to go to stores that sold rocks and collect them or i'd go to mountains where rocks where
and dig around it and find rocks or diamonds never found anything hugely interesting on my own but iv'e always liked rocks and things i don't really know why i like the looks of them i guess.
I also have a weird thing with collecting hats i really like hats so i tend to pick up a hat any chance i get.

I used to collect rocks too.
I would say that I collect photos... I love photography and I am always taking pictures. It is my favourite hobby. I don't do anything with 90% of them other than amass them. Prior to digital photography, I had many albums worth of photos. Now I have hard drives full of them. For me, the joy is in taking the pictures more than in displaying them.

Completely dead computers
i like to take them apart but i don't put them back together, there isn't any need and i don't got the cash i also never put one together before but am i capable of it of course learning is easy. it's just i don't want to don't need to.
I find a dead computer of a persons and i'll ask can i have that? They often say yes so i've got my own collection.

Is this considered hording?
nah.

historic maps. I love to explore ghost town sites, old mines and homesteads, and other abandoned human activities.

took me a while to figure out how to count them. i have 33,797 digital music tracks. not really sure how many artists and albums though. i am currently converting them to mp3 to make room because external hard drives are so darn expensive.

I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam.

I collect notebooks. It sounds weird, but I feel safe with at least three notebooks with me at all times

I collect books: Old books, new books, smelly books YUM!!!

I try NOT to collect things, keep using the "Life-changing magic of tidying up" book's advice to keep shoveling things out the door I'm not using.
Besides, I live in a one-room apartment now.

1.  photos of birds and wildlife I've taken, but store them in the cloud.

2. tool and hardware collection, enough to fix or build any invention that pops into my head at the moment.

3. Kindle books, but I keep re-reading them, so they aren't just a collection.

4. pets, when I lived on my Kentucky farm, but my apartment in southern Thailand doesn't allow them. Still, I'm illegally keeping a local jungle bird, an Asian Fairy-bluebird, one of the species that inspired me to move to Thailand.
