Donating 30 Year Old OUTDOOR Gear? | NEW YEAR'S CLEAN OUT

As a New Year's resolution, I clean out my parent's garage sorting through my dad's thirty year old outdoor gear to see what can be donated to charity. There is also all the new gear that I have from bike tours across the United States, India, and hiking internationally. My biggest surprise comes when I find Smirnoff ices on the bottom shelf that must be from my sister (yup, ready to point the finger), especially because neither of my parents drink alcohol.

Anyone else still holding onto their pokemon cards? Know there were other items given away but...

[@Esquarious]

Did you google the value of pokemon cards and find out they're worth their weight in gold Douds? I cringed a little bit but you're gonna make someone very happy.

[@AldenRoth]

@@Esquarious haha I thought the same thing! Just sold my old yugioh cards for $300!
