An ecoflow battery generator. Granted, it's a small-ish one but I got this itch to purchase one after seeing one in action while car camping ("I can use my hot water kettle while camping, how cool!") and when our city was warning us about widespread power outages from an upcoming winter storm ("to keep our devices powered up").

It would be the Nektar G49. I wish I had the time to use it, but I'm mentally tired, unemployed and the rubber from the knobs have degraded to a sticky mess. And I am also an idiot to buy it, thinking that I would get the experience of a full-size electric piano/synth.
My 6-foot-tall telescope. I should really pull it out more, I just get so busy.
A pair of traditional leather boots that were stiff and sturdy enough to support me through anything and last long enough to be buy it for life. The pair weighed over 5 pounds. After 6 months they still hurt after a hike and I gave up breaking them in. Cost me over 300โฌ, and I replaced them with a pair of 80โฌ trail running shoes which were better in every way for my use case and also lasted 12 years.
You should've wet them completely, preferably while wearing and stretching them.
But that can be a real pain, yeah.

Had to do it a few times while in the army.
I did. The problem was, they weren't too tight but too wide at the heel, so my heel kept rubbing up and down in them.
If you have a proper shoemaker around you: They usually can fix this problem easily.
The problem is to find an proper shoemaker these days.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
The blisters one will get with that is crazy. Especially if you're in the army and can't stop willynilly.
I once marched 12km with bleeding blisters the sizes of small apples and had gone through all the skin layers because if I had stopped I would've had to stay during the weekend to do it again.
Speaking on my wife's behalf, an epipen. We're both content with not having needed to use it.
