- Doc Martens, though I'm not sure if they're still under $200. But my last pair kept going for twenty years of heavy duty traveling. I got another pair and don't expect to need a third one in this life.
- My IKEA rolltop backpack. No idea if they still sell em, but it's amazing. It was probably like $40 or less.
- My 1972 Stratojac suede cattleman's coat with fleece collar, which looks like something Jimmy Page would have worn to a Rolling Stone photoshoot. It's the warmest coat I've ever owned - it's too warm to wear unless it's under 40 degrees out. Weighs as much as a Fiat, but I've worn it in blizzard conditions and barely noticed the cold. Got it for $25 at a thrift store.
- Gerber Chameleon Remix knife. Carried one for decades before I moved to the UK and used it daily for anything from opening packages to using as a quick duty screwdriver to pulling it on some random thieves to discourage them in Kenya. I have no idea if they even still sell these either, but it was about $30.
