Silkies (layer 1) from my army cold weather system.

Boots

I have the Breville, wanted one for years and pulled the trigger 2 years ago. Love everything about it

5.11 backpacks are great. Really love mine

Bought mine secondhand from someone who was leaving Alaska for good. They are still kicking 16 years later!

Pancho liner. E-tool.

I would advise looking into safety razors more deeply. I jumped the gun and the first one I got was a very aggressive shave and gave me a lot of skin irritation. I switched to a mild shave and I love it. It was a weishi brand(cheap on Amazon too) I bought that and a pack of 100 feather blades about a year ago and I’m not even a third of the way through them. There are better razors for sure but the weishi has treated me well!

Look for used bedroom furniture for really cheap on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. We bought a really nice solid oak Amish bedroom set from a wealthy couple that was moving and didn’t want to take it with them. We paid about $700 for queen bed, chest of drawers, 2 bedside tables, and a big nice dresser with mirror. All solid oak in perfect condition.

What is was issued? Not very much. I wear modern RusFed military boots which were like 80$ and comfy and blend in with more things than desert tan boots I was issued (despite those being better). I wear these daily while working on things or just in general. Cheap, durable, comfy, and utilitarian. A little "tactical" vibe to em which i'm not a huge fan of but they're milsurp style pants. Im big into reenacting russian gear as well as heritage, (which doesnt want to die) and I've found that during winter my WW2 era Telogreika keeps me warmer than anything new that I have, and it's just a cotton padded jacket. A lot of the modern issue stuff, or stuff directed towards the "military" crowd seems to be much more expensive than milsurp for equal or lesser quality. Not to mention, if any of this milsurp stuff gets a tear or otherwise, I can repair it with a needle and thread by hand. Ive tried fixing some modern gear and I need a machine or specific tools to do so which is a pain.

Edit: Source hydration packs (like camelbaks) are really good, much easier to maintain as well.

Accurate.

MDF is shit

Even though they’re over the $150 limit, the Gen2 AirPod Pros are fucking fantastic. I saw a deal today to get them from Verizon for $199. Check Slickdeals.

Fill with ice, top off with water, give it stir for around 30 seconds, then let it sit for a minute.

Frankly, not much. I dont like going around looking like im going to war when im walking around town. That said, Lowa hiking boots, darn tough socks, and brooks running shoes have stood the test of time. Waffle tops from Rothco do the trick for the real deal too. +1 for poncho liners, but theres a ton of knock off crap out there.

Get a good wool blanket too.

Wait what’s the trick for keeping them cold?!

Henson is really popular in the wet shaving community. It is a great product that I have used myself. I would think that the aluminum that Henson uses will last longer than the Zamak that is used in most Edwin jagger, Merkur and muhle products.

Try Razorock. Made in Canada, beautifully machined from stainless steel or titanium. Many options. Bullet proof.

Lol I was kidding. Thx for ur response!

Stanley advertising budget must be huge this year. So many influencers have been posting picks it’s turned into a trend to show off your Stanley’s.

Still got an orange one just like that. It’s at least 40 years old

I've had the Nebula for years and use it just as you described. Overnight bag, laptop, work stuff. Its been great and have not had to repair anything on it. Cant go wrong.

I’ll always regret getting rid of my field jacket. M65.

Military issue boots.

Any way to get the inherent metal taste out? Coffee tastes like doodoo out of mine.
