Pro tip: Keep them together stacked instead of rolled together. Darn tough recommend this as well. Helps it keep its elastic-ness.

Rossi Mulga Boots, mine are 25 years old and still going strong.

It’s honestly just cheaper overall.

I used to have to buy socks every year, now I’ve got like 15 pairs of these and they just last and last.

so honestly unless I lose them they’ll pay for themselves eventually. Haven’t had to warranty anything yet though.

I love my woolrich flannel

My wife got one for her birthday and we’ve been growing so many herbs, it’s awesome

Not enough lol. Like twice a week half the year

I have a classic that just died! I'd like to figure out if I can replace the hard drive with a new SS drive and bring it back to life

Natuzzi is a great brand. I had a used red leather natuzzi I bought for 300$ and it held up for a decade and was still going when I gave it to the next owner. Now I have a crate and barrel gather which I love and think is more comfortable but I would get another natuzzi for the style and quality.

Crate and Barrel Gather Couch, you can customize it on there website. Amazing couch, fabric cleans easily and we got the white one, really like a mattress that is disguised as a modern couch.

Try going to Asian grocery stores that have a small home / appliance sections. I often see Jojirushis in Korean Hmarts in Canada.

Hiking boots are inherently a high wear item, you will likely not own a pair for life. There are some brands like danner and other more expensive brands that if you are really attached you can send your boot in and they will replace the worn out parts with new ones so you can keep some of your original boot. This often isn’t cost effective though, for instance I wanted to get my danner boots from the military resoled and shanked, and after shipping it was only going to be $10 less than buying a new pair of boots. So it didn’t really make much since unless I really cared about the nostalgia.

If you have narrow feet La Sportiva boots are pretty good, they tend to use vibram soles and gortex waterproofing. They don’t fit me well though. Another brand that’s still somewhat affordable but makes great boots is Oboz. If you happen to be a woman, then Ahnu makes really cool boots but they don’t make any men’s boots.

I had a pair of Asolo 95 GTX (gore tex) for about 15 years. Still had plenty of life before I donated them to a local clothing drive. But who knows how Asolo quality is now.

Ooh thank you for the advice! She likes the look of the Sienna nubuck chealsea boots. I can't find any retailers near us, but there's a UK store a few hours away that have them for £70 off with free UK shopping and returns

I have to stop buying these. I have a bunch for work and then a bunch for not work.

Coworkers were talking socks the other day and I mentioned these and how they're around $20/pair and they all thought I was nuts but I only buy other brands for the gym.

Nothing. We don't need a thing. Glad yall scored!!!

Blundstone from Australia.

My man is a chef and a size 14. Puts a lot of miles on his shoes. Replaces the insoles every year, but they hold up really well. Handsome too. Highly recommend.

Had mine 6 years now as I am hard on it. Absolutely love it.

Does anyone know if I use Apple Music, can I transfer all of my music onto one of these old school iPods?

Not sure if vionics are available in the UK, but they are a great brand for flat feet, heels or no heels because they have an exaggerated arch. After foot surgery I had to stop wearing heels for flat feet and the vionics orthotics saved me! They have shoes and heels that have all lasted me a solid 5 years of regular seasonal wear.

Leatherman Wave is one of the most famous multitools. Les Stroud brought it into pop culture in his Survivorman show. Here's an episode where it features prominently but there's many others. Also if anything should happen to it, Leatherman has a 25 year warranty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6hU7d3yW10

Might depend on the model but my one has, sea waves, crickets, static-like white noise and some others I don’t use.

Doesn't Leatherman have a 25 year lifetime warranty?

r/hikinggear will have lots of thoughts on this.

I personally have Lowa Renegade GTX and I like them. I’ve treated them per Lowa’s instructions, hiked in downpours, and they’ve held up.

Ooh, Santa must like you. Enjoy that bad boy.
