What to do with your stuff when you die ....
« on: June 20, 2010, 10:21:00 PM »
I was just reading an item in the arrow classifieds ... grandfather died and left stuff ...

Have you ever thought about what you are going to do with all your " ARCHERY STUFF " when you die.

While I have a son in law and a grandson I have no one who would really appreciate receiving the life time of STUFF that I treasure related to traditional archery .... I know all my hunting buddies would love it, but they are old too.

What are your plans ??

It's all coming with me into my burial mound, along with my concubines, chariot & servants.

I'll be dead so I will not do anything with it or care at that point.  Hope the kids are old enough, like it and use it.  After that I don't care.  It is just stuff.  Stuff takes up time, $, and space.  I just hope the wife doesn't garage sale it too cheap.  Maybe I better start pricing stuff just in case.

I haven't thought about and most likely won't. I seriously doubt I'll care after I'm gone. I do hope I can witness what happens to it though... just for grins and giggles..lol

The only thing that I've thought about is organ donation and I think I'd like to donate my beard.

God bless,Mudd

Aside from lol at Rob's post, I hope that I find someone who I can pass it on to.  If not and my wife is still alive, she can go to my neighbor who made my bow and quiver to price it out.

I had a great uncle who had no kids. He was a real outdoorsman. He had tons of guns, bamboo flyrods, wooden tackle boxes full of beautifull old wooden Heddon plugs w/ glass eyes etc. etc. That stuff would be worth a fortune today and was given away after his death to his friends kids etc. who probably had no idea what they were getting. I was too young to get any of the stuff then. Its sad to think about. I hope my kids are old enough to apreciate some of my stuff and get a fair price for anything they dont want to keep. How cool would it be to have one of the shoddy bows I build to be in a grandkids hands slinging arrows someday?!?!?!?

Your mound will look like the landfill of a medium sized city!  :p  

Seriously, I have had some discussion with my wife about what I think I would like.  Not sure exactly how it could work out, but I'd like to see my "stuff" sold somehow through ads, auction, or whatever, and the proceeds go to St.Jude or similar charity.  I think it would be cool to leave one last donation.

I will die with most of it in my grasp on a mountain somewhere.  I figure the wolves that eat my decrepid hind in will pee on my bow as a last little send off.

Hopefully my kids and their kids are able to enjoy some of it, but just like my body I plan on wearing it all out before I am done with it...

Rob, I like the way you think! Give me a good 'ol heathen send off anytime.
For my archery stuff my girlfriend knows which of my friends will help her dispose of it and get good prices for it. For my firearm stuff she'll go to a different friend.

If I'm not on some mountain somewhere...I hope my wife either gets a good price for my kit here or my nephew will get it. That's how the will reads anyway.  

My nephew is about 11 right now. He's been eyeing me while I shoot. I remember him when he was seven building his own stick bow at hunting camp and shooting it LEFT HANDED like his Uncle Toby. Cracked us up. If he's into it when I go and strong enough to shoot my bows he's welcome to it.
