45~50 kilograms is pretty insane. You disposing a body or something?

Good luck. I feel like injinji is the only game in town unfortunately.

Also wanted to add a Zeroll ice cream scoop, they are used by all of the ice cream shops in the area and ours is in great shape after 5 years. Easily available at restaurant supply stores

Yep! My wife has had a pair of these for about 45 years.

holy hell dude you must be an absolute beast!

I love those, but sadly they seem to be having supply issues for many of their products for some time now. Mostly the kid lineups.

Look at highend hunting gears. They usually have them figured out. KUIU is a great company.

I'm able to spread out my toes fairly wide and move my big one interdependently, so I imagine that sort of movement can help.

Found some black ones on Amazon. Quite expensive for a 2 pack though I imagine quality socks should cost more.

Kelty Redwing Tatical. Or 5.11 Rush72. Or go external frame pack.

Had both issued to me over the years.

The 5.11 i have is over 10 years old now. Itll hold 100lbs no problem but itll be hell hauling it around. Tough but not very ergonomic. Great to throw on a truck or move short distances.

Kelty took their outdoor line of backpacks and beefed them up with thicker nylon. 4ish years old. It's the best blend I've seen of tactical bs and actually using it as a 2 or 3 day pack.

I've had 100lbs in a backpack a handful of times in life. It is hell once you hit inclines or switchbacks. Understand your calorie requirement just got jacked to the tits for the next few days to recover.

If a couch is still looking good and dates from the 60s, it's going to keep looking good if you care for it.

I've never had a couch half as good as the MCM ones I've scored on Marketplace.

Thanks so much! I was wondering what Kai was like. I saw them in a few reputable shops, but I wasn't sure what they were like.

I'm only an occasional sewer, but I do enough to get pissed off with how poorly my current scissors cut!

I probably can't justify a rotary cutter but will definitely look into the Kai!

Hermon Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap V2 are the go to chairs but cost $$$$ you can find them cheaper when offices decide to replace everything.

All of the parts can be bought from the manufacturers and be replaced generally. They also have a focus on adjustability and ergonomics being designed to be sat in for 8+ hours a day. Usually have 10year or more warrentys

If you dont want to fuss with maintenence save some money and go with fabric instead of leather.

And of course try and sit in one somewhere before you buy it.

I don't have any experience with their socks, but the Grip6 belts are absolutely phenomenal. I'm a big guy and I carry a lot of stuff so I wear my belt tight to keep my pants up. I tried all kinds of belts and they all lasted 1-3 months. Eventually the prong would tear through to the next hole, or the belt would crack and break at whatever hole I was using. Plus a lot of buckles would dig into my belly because they were thick or had metal loops jutting out of them.

I've worn my Grip6 belt almost every single day for the past 3 years and it isn't showing any signs of wear. I bought two because there was a sale but the second one is still in the box because I've never needed it.

Sometimes I'm tempted to buy more just to support their business but I just don't need any more belts 🤷

have you considered the weight vests? a friend of mine (she's tiny - about 5' tall, size zero) was training for a big mountain climb (in Pacific NWest).. she got a small vest, then also a large vest - wore them both and ran a few miles a day..... just thinking maybe you could wear a vest (or two), then if really ambitious backtop w/ weight as third layer.... the vests WILL stay on well, and if do this, won't stress a backback too much.

This isnt a secret. Any low quality leather/pleather/other fake leather names are trash. Either go all the way with Top Grain and spends $$$$ or get some kind of rugged fabric thats easy to clean.

100% what a corpo-goon would say.

I work in fashion and I use Kai 7000-series Professional. They use a lot of carbon in their steel, making it harder and are able to get a much more acute angle to the edge, which makes it seem sharper for longer.

My sharpener always remarks on how great the steel is on these when I bring them in for sharpening, once a year. If you don’t use them often, I can see them lasting you with no need for sharpening.

They are also much lighter than the big tailors shears, which I prefer since I use my scissors in fittings and for draping, instead of just for cutting. And the tolerances are much, much tighter than the typical dressmakers shears. They’re just awesome.

Keep in mind that whatever you end up getting, keep them only for fabrics. Cutting paper will dull the edge on softer steels, and be careful not to cut into any pins.

Also, if you’re quickly cutting a few layers at a time, I’d recommend a rotary cutter. The Eastman Chickadee is great, we have one that is like 40 years old. Brushes get replaced every few years, blades every now and then (it has a built in sharpener) and the cord has been accidentally cut and electrical-taped back together a half dozen times.

100% wool socks would have terrible durability...

Their aboriginal culture was treated much the same as canada. The damage can still be seen on both sides of the world

Ahem…it’s vegan leather

Do you mean blade? I googled ss bale and got a bunch of farm equipment

I don’t know what to do with that mental image.
