As far as clothes/gear, I think my favorite pieces are my Swedish Army field coat (goes well with my M96 Mauser), East German army field shirt (has that interesting rain drop camo pattern), and then an Italian Army rucksack I use as a range bag. The rucksack cost about 9 dollars and is sturdy enough that my descendants in 150 years could still probably use it.
