I have a 2010 Tundra Crewmax. Bought it new, and have about 150k miles on it. It’s automatic transmission. Great rig….i think that era of Toyota vehicles is top notch. I hear the new Tundras have issues
SFR "Premium" purchases you found to be "worth it"
- Thread starter Evan B
- Start date
Sorta fishing-related
A few other things i think are worth paying for…
My Osprey Atmos 65 backpack. If you know, you know.
My Eberlestock “Just one” pack….Ive packed out quarters, boned out whole animals. Sucker is a load hauler.
Anything Fishpond…I wouldn’t give up my summit sling pack for anything. Love my Nomad Emerger net. One of my best purchases ever. All their accessories are well made, and thought out.
Echo Fly rods….i have a few, and i love them all. I paid top dollar (for me) for my Shadow X and it was worth every penny.

Viking Ocean Cruises
We did Athens to Venice with stops in the following-
Olympia (Katakolon) Greece
Corfu Greece
Kotor Montenegro The surprise of the trip! Definitely going back. Grayling, browns and huchen as well as fishing the salt.
Dubrovnik Croatia
Split Croatia
The smaller ship meant we were able to dock right in town in places like Kotor and Corfu. The big ships (Holland, MSC, etc) had to anchor out in the bay. It was pretty cool when it came time to get back on the ship. We would walk past thousands of people waiting in line for their tenders.
We would be on our balcony taking in the sites, enjoying a refreshing Hugo or Select Spritz from one of the 3 very good onboard bars, while the poor bastards stood in line. And then go BACK into the now empty town and walk past them again. We felt a little mean.
Let me tell you...THAT felt premium!
And the drink package was a good deal...rather expected given the price of the cruise, but I've spent much more on packages at supposed all-inclusive resorts. I felt Viking did it right.
If you had just 2 drinks a day it was worth the cost of the package. It covered premium coffee drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, etc as well so even if you didn't drink alcohol it was worth it. And all the drinks were excellent. No brainer!
Viking has it dialed in for nearly all aspects. Highly recommend.

My Russell Moccasin Backcountry’s…
I got mine on eBay. They are in my opinion the best made in USA outdoor boot you can buy. Crazy expensive new these days.
Another consumer good that feels worth it to me is merino wool underwear.

Life of the Party
Big Green Egg. Previous owner left it in the gazebo(but took the 80s style fridge), didn't look like he used it much. Took some time to dial in but I was also building a bark inside. Now everything cooks right from super hot to 18 hours of 225 and has an amazing smoke. If this one dies somehow I'd for sure lay down the money for a new one.
Most everything I’ve bought from Patagonia…
Veldskoen Chelsea boot. Just a solid, wide and reliable boot made of tough leather and vibram soles. Pretty much my everyday trudger for everything but hiking, wading and running.
