I got home from a wet hunting trip and put thermal underwear, Vasque Gore-Tex leather boots, a 10x Gore-Tex jacket and pants in a heavy duty trashbag. I was in trouble cause it was the holidays and hadn't been home enough, so I forgot about it. It wasn't in a normal place and when throwing away trash, it got thrown out.

I really loved the jacket and boots. But it was an excuse to buy some new gear since this stuff was getting older.

I now have a dedicated area for my hunting stuff and stay organized. Not going to repeat that again.
