September 11, 2026·35 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you a shooter who has accumulated a garage full of gear you haven't touched in years? In this episode of the Guns Podcast US, host Brent T. Wheat and co-host Roy Huntington tackle a topic that hits close to home for many in the firearm community: hoarding. We explore the psychological burden of holding onto excess gear, the reality of downsizing for older shooters, and why the "I might use this someday" excuse is keeping you from having true freedom. From cleaning out storage units to the tough truth about what your children actually want from your collection, join us for a candid discussion on finding the happy medium between being prepared and being a hoarder. Key Takeaways ·         Most shooters are prone to hoarding under the guise of being 'prepared' for future scenarios. ·         Excess stuff can be a mental burden and a source of unnecessary stress. ·         Your children likely do not want the vast majority of your accumulated 'stuff'; they value cherished memories over physical objects. ·         A great test for whether to keep an item is: Have I used this in the last five years? ·         Giving unused gear to someone who can truly use it provides more personal satisfaction than selling it for pennies on the dollar. ·<span style="font: 7
