My son went thru same. Also bought strange items. The angle iron and other scrap I have found useful for other than ancient weaponry. But one item he bought was a grappling hook and chain. I had to ask "WTH?" He replied. "If you need we now have." I thought about and came to the conclusion. On the VERY off chance one needs a grappling hook to scale a wall? I guess you would be glad you have one. Lol.
