A decent custom made surfboard, two very good but stock surfboards or 3-10(maybe more?) used surfboards. Or take 500 for a cheap flight to a surf destination and 500 for a board, which can get you a very good new one or 2-5 used surfboards.

A pretty good but not fantastic camera or lens

[–] verstra@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Or a pair of boots, a great backpack, hiking trousers, helmet, harness and a "via ferrata cable kit".

Admission to all the folk dances I would visit in a year as well as the localish festivals OR admission and basic-mid range gear for a LARP fest

1000 bucks will get you a pretty awesome larp outfit, as long as you're not looking for plate armor.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I go for multi day camping festivals, so it would probably be enough for admission, 2 sets of an under layer, an outer layer, a warm layer, and shoes. If you only have one outfit, you’ll have a bad time.

But if you know where to find cheap larp gear, please let me know.

I could get loads of cool liquors I've been eyeing for experimentation! Or like... one reeeeeally nice scotch.

A decent drawing tablet

[–] verstra@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

~10 manual mid-range tools and enough wood to make a nice looking jewellery box.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

It'll almost buy me three quarters of an 8 heddle loom, or buy me a nice benchtop milling machine to make said loom (and many other things).

It'll buy a really great larp outfit, a barely acceptable reenactment outfit, or half of a suit of plate armor for either.

43 kilos of leather offcuts

A new hobby doer, computer.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering
