Filson has a 'down cruiser parka' that looks nice. It's out of stock right now.
That Fjallraven Singi parka looks good, but... for $600 and it's not even really that waterproof, I just couldn't. I got a cheaper North Face parka on sale at REI.

Love my Grip6 belts and socks as well. I have a few pairs of the same blue ones and I agree, I typically reach for those before my Darn Toughs.

The typical lifespan of bonded leather anything is gonna be closer to OP's experience. I'd chalk your experience up as an anomaly.

This is a good chair, I like it better than Aeron

I've seen ads for their belts but didn't know they made socks. I seem to go through socks pretty quick. I think I'm a little big for the belts at the moment, but I'm working on dropping a few sizes.

Over 100lbs is a wild load. I would suggest an old school frame pack that you can strap dry bags to. Or reducing the loads.

The chairs will last for a year, but the weight of skinning that poor cow will follow you for a lifetime.

GoRuck. Expensive but designed to carry weight. Period

USMC pack like an ILBE or FILBE. The CFP-90 is also a good choice, although much less user-friendly. I’ve owned all three, ILBE is my choice of the three.

I have a Denon AVR-1905. It's what I use for all my audio-visual things. It's seen constant daily use since... welll, whenever I bought it all those years ago, in the year 2000something.
I have a 5.1 setup of Paradigm speakers hooked up to it. No DVD player or CD player or anything else, but I play music through my PC, all my games sound, all my digital movies go through it. My PC is my TV. It's basically a giant media-center the way I use it.
It does 5.1, Dolby and/or DTS, and that's good enough. Hooked up through an optical cable so it sounds great. Super simple.

Same here for saucony socks. I use them for rowing, cycling and just general dress down days. I buy an 18 pack once a year, and let them battle it out for survival of the fittest.

My husband’s coat is by quartz, very low key on branding and extremely warm. Very nice coat, recommend.

haha, I'm actually lying because I leave all my clothes in the basket and just pull from there. Only thing that gets put away neatly are clothes I would wear out if I ever went out
