For me it is maybe camping.
I just tested my new sleeping bag - under 0.5kg rated to -5°C. And realised that I bought/ replaced lots of gear to higher quality gear over few years.
Sorta the same here. Car camping equipment, wilderness camping stuff and mountain hiking gear over 10 years for a family of four. Estimation is $15,000 - $20,000 easy.
We tell all parents that some gear is worth to invest in.
Still on the summer camp some children's have too light sleeping bags (we have to borrow them some old army bags), bags worth only for recycling bin...
