Keep he gun, every time you look at it, remember that feeling of being accepted into vet school and starting the job you love and has led you to this moment in life. They might just be inanimate objects but if there is a precious memory attached to it, then they are worth it.

I would keep it. Proves how determined you are to what you do. That was your reward for getting into veterinary school. Also i vote you keep Elmer

Fun Fact Matt; The reason humans put such feelings into objects is because we struggle to remember things. Yes we have the memories of things, but the human mind is keyed to using visual stimuli or sound to trigger memory, so an object that reminds you of someone or something important to you, is something that will always bring you back. Most people are more afraid of that memory disappearing, not the object, but you don't realize that. :) Hope everyone's starting the year of great!!

Can't measure the value of something when the sentimental value is way higher then the price of the object.

Matt, Christmas 1982, first Christmas with my new wife. Her present to me was a new Browning Hi-Power (along with 2 bricks in the box). Fast forward 6 years and , with her permission, I sold the Hi-Power to a friend. He sold it . Huge Regrets. My Browning Grade V Citori she gave me for my 50th birthday will never be sold. I bought her a Beretta DT-10L from the Beretta Gallery in New York for letting me retire early and putting up with my shit for 26 years. She shot the gun very, very well. She made me promise before she passed away that I would shoot the DT-10 as my primary Sporting Clays gun. I do to this day. Don't sell the Glock, it has sentimental value and a great history.

The emotional attachment you’re talking about is not felt towards the object as much as the memories that object holds for you. So I don’t think it’s silly that you don’t want to get rid of it.

Good job on Elmer Doc!! Now my wife wants to adopt him. We had a "3 Wheeler" for 13 years and we both just loved that "pooch" . Her attitude was very much like Elmer's. Amazing creatures.

I lost a lot of things that I had emotional attachments to, when my house was ravaged by Superstorm Sandy. I had to learn how to just let it go, or spend the rest of my life grieving. Your great-uncle (Uncle Floyd, of course, right?) is a very wise man.

The beginning of this video made me realize something. That’s last good time to spend with my dad was when he took me to the saddle shop, and I got to buy my very own saddle. I constantly am telling myself “go sell it and buy yourself something you like better.” And I always kinda am like nahhh I like it to much. But it’s not the saddle I have an emotional attachment to, it’s the memory’s.

Exactly it's the memories attached to it.

I got a big old kitchen cupboard that stood in my grandparents kitchen for as long as I can remember. They are both gone now, but that piece of old furniture which is also very practical will stick with me for the rest of my life and remind me of what it was like to sit in their kitchen. I also have an old measuring cup from my other grandma which we used to make cookies at her place, and that resembles that pair of grandparents to me. Never gonna get rid of that also. In my hall there is a board with hooks for my keys that was a gift of my late Dad, same deal - never going to replace it.

Looks like a DSA para trooper FAL!!! 16 inch fluted barrel and folding stock with Cerakote digicam. That's a $2000 rifle and I've always wanted one. Super jealous but glad that sweet piece made it out of California. Just don't trash it because it was free, it really is a nice rifle.

Theres items that always "take you back", its not needed, not a necessity, but its a reminder of a chapter in your life. Lifes full of shoulda coulda...keep it. Someday Lincoln would cherish it along with the story

Such good advice not to get attached to stuff. I'm 58, accumulated everything I've needed and more, and am now downsizing tons. I've bought a smaller house for retirement and am tired of tripping over, storing, and am getting rid of my STUFF. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the tshirts !!!

I hear ya, my husband (my boyfriend at the time) bought his first brand new pick up which a few years later became my truck for many years (which I drove until I graduated college). When I got my job I bought my first car but the Ranger stayed with us. We currently still own said Ranger with 250,000 miles on that poor engine. The thing is we put everyone of those miles on that 94 model year frame. Yes, we have had that truck for 25 years and until recently it still looked beautiful but it has been hit a couple times. My husband uses it as a back up vehicle to keep miles down on our other vehicles and it has amazing gas mileage. I LOVE THAT TRUCK. I don’t ever want to get rid of it but the last hit ( a few weeks ago) has forced the back bumper to flip under so the license plate is currently looking at the ground. Rust is bad so not sure it can be fixed easily. I’m so sad. 😭

I love how Lincoln just floored the pedal 😂

Hey Matt, I am writing this in tears because of that song. The intro you made had me intrigued so I went and watched it. I lost my grandma on the 7th of November and I'm still going through it, the song is wonderful and beautiful and I wanna thank you for bringing it to my attention Matt. I wish you the best for you and your wonderful family, Steve.

I was away with the air force for a few months and watching your videos for the first time in a while was like reuniting with an old friend! Keep up the good work

This really made me think. I will admit, usually when you start talking about guns I switch to a different video, Im Australian and we dont have the gun culture you guys do over there.....and I like it like that, no disapproval or anything, just different strokes for different folks....but I stuck with this vid because of why you were talking about that particular gun. I would keep it.....just as I keep my Dad's pen that I was given after he died, even though it doesnt work any more....the love and the memories that I feel every time I touch that pen cant be replaced. Its a human thing, part of how we keep our record.

V ismyname me too! That was very caring of Matt to bring the little dog home. Dozer will watch over him.❤

I have this pink jewelry box and in the bottom drawer I have a bunch of little trinkets. Such as, a few rocks that i've found when i've traveled, a few drawings my childhood friend who moved drew for me, beads to a bracelet that broke long ago, a few photos, etc. Just little things yet I refuse to get rid of them. So no, I don't think it's weird. I actually think its important to hold onto things like that. Obviously, don't hoard, but just a few little things that will make you happy.

I have had a lot of things handed down to me, since I've become sort of the family chronicler - like a knife my great-great-grandfather used to own more than a hundred years ago, or a piece of lace crocheted by a great-grandaunt before WW2. While they're only inanimate objects, I still feel like they are kind of an intersection between me and the people who used to hold them in their hands so long ago. I also keep random stuff as keepsakes to remind me of certain moments in my life or places I have been to (stones, bottlecaps, flyers, whatever), so I totally get that you feel attached to that particular gun.

Three things: 1) Keep the Glock, yes it's virtually valueless in $ but because of it's significance to you from your father, keep it, deactivate & frame it even, but keep it. 2) Use the entire rev range of the Goblin, sounds on vid like you short shift every gear change (upshift in American 😜). I wanna hear that thing siiiiiinnng!!!! 3) more Dozer please 😁

The day before my 21st birthday my Grandpa asked me what I was going to do. I told him I was gonna apply for my CPL and go buy a handgun. He asked what caliber? I told him probably 9mm, and he got up, walked into his bedroom and handed me his S&W Sigma 9mm and said happy birthday. I know the gun isn't the best, but It shoots good, and hasn't had any problems. I don't shoot it much anymore, but I will never sell it.

Yep, I have a 1962 Chevy C-10 pickup. Bought it from my dad a couple years before he passed away. Had a 9 shot 22 revolver I sold it way back when I was in high school. Still regret it. Do have a few guns my dad willed to me, I’ll never sell them because every time I use them it brings back great memories with my dad. They will get passed down to my sons.

Thanks for all the content on this channel Matt, it’s helping me keep my mind off this broken heart of mine🥺. I truly appreciate it!

I'm attached to my demolition ranch videos

Just make a don’t tell Mere shirt

OK, emotional attachments catch us by surprise. Watching your dad's video sitting in his truck and bringing out things that he treasures. When he brought out the 22 rifle it brought an emotional reaction to me that had nothing to do with him or that gun, it was my memories that were revived.

I love my mud mower thing. Built it myself and use it for ranch transport.

Why don’t you keep keep it and just buy the 9mm version?

Keep the Glock. Even though we sometimes form emotional attachments they can be helpful.

ive been sentimentally attached to my first truck since my dad gave it to me in high school. its an old 1989 blue f-150 that gets 26 feet to the gallon but damn do i love that old truck.

I cant speak to being 100, but I have many things that have memories of family and friends. The memories are in me, but the guns, clock whatever bring those memories flooding back every time I run across them.

Keep it. My dad bought me a Mossberg 500 when I graduated Marine boot camp. I ended up selling it a few years later and I've regretted it ever since. I really wanted a five-seven and thought I wanted it more than that 500 so I sold the mossy and a few other guns to buy it. I ended up selling the five-seven afterwards anyway for a bunch of reasons. It may have been just a cheap 12 ga pump gun, but if I could find my mossberg and buy it back, I would in a heartbeat.

I've kept an old Utica military knife that was my grandfathers from the Korean War. I could find a collector and sell, but I won't. I've considered restoring it to because it's pretty beat up and worn out, but again I feel like I'm altering it if I do that so I hesitate.

I have a coat that was my mother's. We lost her and 2002, the coat doesn't fit me, it will never fit me it's way too small. But I couldn't part with it if my life depended on it. It still smells like her, so when I start to miss her in my closet and take the bag off and take a good snuff. It's silly I know, but it makes me feel good. My first handgun was a Smith & Wesson 38 special.it really wasn't the right gun for me, but at the time it was. So when I decided to get rid of it, I gave it to my son. He was with me when I picked it out, and I knew he would appreciate it. He carries Glocks normally, but he loved that gun. And I know you'll never get rid of it.

It isn't the object that we get attached to. It is the memory and meaning behind how we get something. I am a Miniature Wargamer and my first miniature I ever assembled and painted is kept because of the memories tied to it. In this case it was my friend and myself sitting down and practicing painting it. Then again... A 30mm x 35mm metal figure is smaller than most peoples attached objects.
