How do I make her understand??

**wideguy** · 06-01-2017, 17:19

My Amsteel just came in the mail! My wife simply can't understand why this makes me so happy.

There's no way I'll ever convince her why I need titanium strap buckles! Or a Cuban tarp. Or a Packa.

Help!! 😂🤗

"There's no way I'll ever convince her..." - If you start with that attitude, you definitely never will.

But seriously - you can't force someone into sharing an appreciation. If you simply go about your business being happy without trying to shove it in her face, eventually she may wonder what all the fuss is about. Or if she's outdoorsy she may discover it on her own.

Start by telling her that it is a PantLoad cheaper than golf and there is never any gambling involved!

Why do you want her to understand? Be dark and mysterious!

I only had to read the title to know you were on a lost cause. Don't explain, just endure.

I never liked golf so that wouldn't work.
It is cheaper than skiing though! Hmmmm��

I even tried the "Think of the quiet weekends alone."
Forgetting that leaves 3 kids and her even more outnumbered. Lol

Its cheaper than most other hobbies and pursuits including but not limited to golf,fishing(trips and gear really add up),hunting,boats,motorcyles,airplanes,horses.It's fun for the whole family,great exercise,involves no gambling or alcohol.Remember that life is a stage and ALL MEN are NOT actors-WE are Salesmen!

I guess I am blessed. My wife understands my collection.
Vintage camp stoves.

Get her out there with you and slowly (if she likes it) she'll convert and then will want all of this as well.
