My rainbows have similar ish issues but I also abuse them in water without caring too much. But that’s just leather

Fancy occasions with flip flops? You’re my kind of person.

I think went a whole year without wearing socks

Not sure why you'd buy this over Patagonia/Columbia/etc. that have been more than proven.

Also as others have said, look for second hand if you do decide to spend that kind of money.

Because they make them in China now. They are a local company and we buy them about every 3 years. Now the show room smells so bad we don’t buy them anymore. The quality is gone.

Which one are the foam ones because all the ones I have seen on their website are leather

For denim specifically, I look for 95% cotton or above (this info should be on the tag). Less spandex means it won’t stretch as much, and will last me longer.

Thanks bud!

For some reason this van needs new tires every two years.

Frankenmuth Woolen Mill makes fantastic pillows (and comforters)

Suga Mats rock

Duckworth has great Balaclavas

I found one on Poshmark. I’m tempted to buy it for when this one eventually falls apart 😂

I love to hear stories like this!

That’s so funny. I just thought this sub was full of hippies wanting to reduce consumption by buying things that last a while 😂

You can wipe down the outside of your mill with a soft, damp cloth.

Just looked at their website, I found my new wallet

Tell me you have an AR in your UTV. If not, why not?

I have a close family friend with a ranch in deep south Texas. I promise you, he's very well armed any time he's out on the property. AR in his gater, AR in his truck. 45 on his hip. It's a necessity. Too many people don't understand what is going on down there and they think it's an overreaction. They need to spend some time down there.

Having a map on your phone is great because it tells you where you are, unfortunately (as mentioned by OP) sometimes the direction indicator doesn’t work correctly. Having a compass to double check you’re heading east down the high st rather than west when you get off the bus may be helpful to some people.

Confirm model is made in Germany. I think Series 5 and up are. The lower models made elsewhere are just not as good, IMHO.

I think the cutter blocks and foils are all done in Germany too but the box does mention where various parts are made (including the cord!). I just wish they were not so expensive and they should be replaced about every year, depending on use and probably whisker properties.

I have recently wondered in the extra foils and embedded trimmers are really any better than the older 2 foil models. Kinda like the 4 and 5 blade manuals are likely less satisfying than a single or double blade.

I'm def excited to run through through my grinder. I usually take the whole thing apart to clean... can't believe I've been missing this shortcut for so long!

To hell with these creamy skinned pooftas.

Yeah for sure, they are very ornate boots. Hat is straight black I like it.

Yep! And I should have noted in my post that they have a Second Act shop for lightly worn items. I've gotten a couple of things there and the quality is great.

It does make me feel fancy though, the boots and the hat mostly. ;)

I live on the US/Mexico border in the middle of nowhere and there are drug runners that cross my path regularly. My neighbor is a human smuggler. But I think you are right, I'm getting downvoted for the gun in the picture. Even though most guns are buy it for life purchases.

I'm not sure I got it used and the dude included it with the leather sheath, it's a Kydex aftermarket "scout carry" style. It's pretty similar to these ones https://www.bladehq.com/cat--Hidden-Canyon-Series--4035

I've been wearing Made In Canada "Mellow Walks". My first two pair were slip-ons and I loved them. Very comfortable and wore them 40+ hrs/week for years. Next pair were a well priced CL find of a new pair of lace-ups and I've been wearing them for at least a year.

I do wear them with old Barefoot Science insoles but not sure those make the shoes anymore comfortable. I walked 30 min to work during this last snow storm and the shoes did a great job keeping feet warm and keeping me upright (only one slip crossing a street didn't fall!).

I love that they are made in Canada, comfortable, don't look like steel toes, and seem to last forever.

Mellow Walk Canada

Edit to add that I use Nikwax on all my new leather shoes, at least once when I first buy them (another great BIFL product a cobbler sold me 20+ years ago and I still haven't used the first tube up!) I then polish from time to time with Kiwi.
