I’m looking for a premium office chair with flip up arm rests that will allow a comfortable position to play guitar, anyone know of one?

Reply to comment by MadMacs77 in Waterproof hiking boots by call7987
My Lowa renegades are easily the most comfortable hiking shoe I've ever worn, however I struggle to recommend then on a buy it for life sub. The sole compound is rather soft and I wear down the tread in about 2 years of near daily wear. The cemented construction makes them non-resolable to the best of my knowledge.
Although, to be fair to the boot, I wear through the heels of almost all my shoes extremely fast, and the waterproofness always holds up until replacement. They'll likely remain my go to hiking boot until I find an option I can resole.

Earlywood has some really nice stuff. They are out of Red Lodge MT. There scrapers and the flat sauté are great. I bought a spreader too. Love it. One swipe in the peanut butter is nice with a bunch of kids. I can’t stand metal for most things when cooking. I do not recommend the tongs though. Not long enough. They might be good for serving but I like to put my stuff through the gauntlet… they did not hold up. But to be fair they were wooden tongs. Cool thought but not so cool in practice.

Nah but fr same. I only started folding my clothes once it became a pain in the ass to remember which one was the dirty bin and the clean bin. And then i would have shirts and shorts that I barely wear (winter time) and no socks and underwear

I'm just telling you what he said, I have not tried them. But I will say that wool/synthetic blends are awesome. Don't knock it because it's not 100% wool, as if you're not getting what you paid for. I believe blends are superior, based on another brand I wear.

Jic you had it wrong (like me), you don't double back the tail of the belt. It goes through the lip and continues that direction... For awhile I didn't realize that, and would try to double back the belt, and it obviously never worked.
Doing it the way you should and it works so well, for me at least

Reply to Looking for winter boots by [deleted]
I have had a pair of Pajar boots for at least 5 years now. I love them, they keep my feet warm and dry and they aren’t too bulky. I can’t recall the exact model but they are nylon with rubber soles and toes. Solid nylon ‘tube’ so no snow can get in around the tongue.

Reply to Backpack that can carry 100 pounds by Smoothlarryy
My most rugged outdoor stuff is probably Orvis. Eddie Bauer has sold me good bookbags in the past but their customer service has been shot for a couple of years already. I will not even bore you with the details of my last customer service experience. Anyway: REI has good stuff. Oh! I forgot: Kelty! Call Kelty. I have a pouch from them that is rugged as hell!

Don't know about socks, but their belts are outstanding.
Can't recommend the carbon fiber buckle enough.

I woud recommend beyerdynamics , some of their models are even made in Germany and reasonebly priced like the dt 770/990 pro (like 120-150€) , but they dont have a microphone. Just visit their website, they have some models with a microphone( but sadly the cheaper ones are not made in Germany)

Look into hunting backpacks not hiking packs.. Especially those meant to haul game meat. Some of them are rated or tested with over 200 lbs. They ain't gonna be cheap though.

Agree 100% that exercise, PT, etc. I the real issue. Uncomfortable chair is USUALLY a symptom. But a shite chair can definitely contribute to back and neck symptoms (and elbow/wrist issues)

You may want to look into Nutnfancy's older backpacking videos and gear reviews. Probably the models discontinued but the principles could be applied to packs today. He was a big proponent of external frame for larger packs. He's the only other person I've ever heard talk about carrying 100 lbs in a backpack before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIlrp3r_zY&list=PLogYo97B9UOfDaqOIdI0d9IYLAGoSHdl_&index=3
