I wish ppl used this subreddit a little less literally. Some things are just never gonna last a literal entire lifetime. I wish ppl used it more as an “insane quality” type of subreddit. If anybody knows of one like that, let me know!

To many people 10 years ago seems like last month.
Depends on how you interpret "for life". Does that mean you bought it new recently and you're hoping you'll never need to buy another one? Or does it mean something acquired a long, long time ago and it's still fully usable?

Global 8” knife that Bourdian recommended has been awesome for the ~12 years I’ve had it.

Reply to comment by MrStoneV in Discovery Trekking hiking/travel towel. Can go from immersed in water to dry in a matter of minutes. Rolls up smaller than a thin t-shirt. Been using my full grown man strength to wring this thing out for over 10 years now and it could still pass as new. by Hybrid978
It's about half the size of a normal towel and I can dry my entire body with it. Probably mainly dries so fast because of how much water you can squeeze out of it.
I didn't use softener on it for a while, but after several years, I gave up on the washing instructions and just started throwing it in with the rest of my clothes. I've honestly seen a little bit of a difference in the texture of the fabric over time, but it still works like a charm.

I had forgotten about the "situpon" as it was called in my girl guides camping kit list. I have a folding one from girl guides that was waterproof on one side and fabric on the other to double as a
camp pillow. It also manages to fit in a square cushion cover so now it has a second life as a couch cushion, 20 years later.

I’m a nectar mattress guy. My wife and I bought one years ago and never looked back. Affordable, great warranty and we both sleep better than we have in any other mattress

That tree needs more bulbs on it. At least twice.. maybe three times as many to be sure.

I bought myself a Wüsthof chefs knife and pairing knife for around that price and they’re much easier to take care of than a knife like the one you’re looking at. They have a pretty classic look and they hold an edge well.

Does it soak a lot of water or does cotton do a lot more? Because it would make sense, my sportwear also does dry a lot faster since it has a lot of surface area for the amount of soaked water.
Generally thank you for the post, I woll look forward into it buying such a towel. I agree the chemicals would be long time gone in 10 years. Did you use softener on it?

I’ve had the Miyabi Artisan Chef’s knife for about 10 years, and probably use it daily/every other day. We love it!

Looks like it may only be for select websites right now. I don't see the option every time.

Loved the sound of the release valve. It meant winter and good stew.

You would just set up multiple payment cards in your PayPal account, then when you go to pay on the site, choose "PayPal" at checkout. It would then redirect you to your PayPal account, where you'd see the option to "split payment." You specify how you want it split there, and when you're returned to the Pendleton website, it just shows "PayPal" as the payment method. Pendleton doesn't know anything about how the payment is being handled by PayPal.

It's just the fabric, 100% polyester according to the label. Made in USA/Canada. I have sensitive skin and have never been bothered.
I don't know how it works, but I'm pretty sure any weird chemicals would have washed out of this a long long time ago.

Never buy on Amazon if you actually care about getting a specific brand, the fulfillment model encourages fakes.
Basically only use Amazon if you are ok with the cheap Chinese version
