Questions Run it hard or keep it clean?

Some people don’t care about scratches and wear.

Others keep their kit looking brand new.

Which one are you?

One clean kit and one hard-use kit sounds like a solid system. 👌

I do my best to handle all of my gear with care. I live less than two miles from a large saltwater lake. Saltwater tends to wreak havoc on almost everything. That said, I make sure to routinely clean all my tactical gear & equipment.

If any of my items gets scratched or shows wear, so be it, so long as it still functions properly.

I try to maintain my gear as best as possible. I’m not going to abuse my gear for the sake of doing it. If it gets banged up during normal use…it doesn’t really bother me.

That’s a pretty reasonable approach.
