buying stuff

[Scythe13]

Retail therapy can be good. But as SD has told me, "Kit is useless unless you know how to use it." That view point has caused me to greatly reduce my shopping. I stick to things I can use effectively. Was going to buy a small axe, but SD asked me how good I was at using them. Ends up I need practice as I am very unskilled with an axe. I'm still going to get one, but only once I have ample time and opportunities to use it.

"If you can't use it, don't buy it."
"If you can't buy it, don't plan for it."
"If you can't plan for it, just stick to what you can."
"If you can use it, buy it, and buy good."
