The last thing you bought?

An MSR backpacking stove and a fuel canister. If the power goes out I can still make tea, soup, polenta etc. at least. My espresso maker would work on it too.
 
Another heater, to use on really cold days.
Dandelion leaf vinegar.
A 10 lb bag of grade B carrots.
Vitamin D3 supplement.
Pure alcohol; to disinfect hands after being at the shops. I’ll add a few drops of peppermint oil to make it more pleasant.

I bought a few games on Steam that were on sale. One of them is Uno because I seem to buy that on everything (already have it on PlayStation 4 and Switch for example).

Those things are incredible--MSR makes the best portable/Primus-style stoves. Is this the 'Pocket Rocket' stove--the little folding one that sits directly on top of the canisters?

@Gerontius Those are nifty but no, it’s the newest iteration of their good old backpacking stove. MSR Whisperlite Universal.

The Whisperlite Universal sounds like a fantastic stove. The wider legs should give a lot better stability and being able to run it off white gas as a backup is perfect if you can't find pressurized gas. Love it.

I used to camp and hunt all the time with family and we camped rough, could pack light, and insisted on eating well. MSR and Jetboil stoves were a major investment but Dad's gotten around 10 years so far out of his old Jetboil and he uses it a lot (even bringing it in and boiling coffee on the kitchen counter with it.)
 
@Gerontius I have to admit the legs on the old one were a bit “tippy” if you didn’t have a nice flat rock to put it on.

I love thinking about camping trips and hikes from the past. In a way, the memories get sweeter and better sometimes than the being on the trips. What I mean is, the strain and sweat of the hiking and sometimes lack of sleep all blends into the amazing mountains & lakes etc. On the other hand, there are those moments when tou’re tired and sore and yet wouldn’t trade places with anyone esle in the world.
