The Henson is excellent, and get the mild to be most safe yet effective.

On the other hand… the true buy once for life would be the Stainless steel Tatara Muramasa which is adjustable ( so no need to go chasing different razors for trying different blade exposures etc) and built to be easily maintained (no spring) and last several lifetimes. It is not cheap.

Sorry to hear the quality has gone from the new versions.looks like I lucked out on these.

Bought this pair in 1983 to go snowboarding in SoCal, back when we had to hike the hills as they would not let us use the ski lifts at Mt Baldy

Woobie. Camelbak Motherlode and HAWG backpacks. Swiss Army Cadet knives I had. A little brass survival compass we were supposed to safety pin inside our top for E&E, I’ve made a necklace out of it and wear it when I’m camping or hiking. Sewing kit I was issued or bought in 1995 still gets some use. Laundry bag. When I used to do Tough Mudder type races I would run in an old pair of ACU pants cut off just below the knees to make it a little easier to crawl over gravel and I’d wear the old last chance belt to hold them up. And I’d cheat when climbing over walls and hold myself up with the belt buckle while repositioning to climb over. I used an old pair of mechanix gloves I was issued for years when I was riding motorcycles. Eventually I lost them and replaced them with the same style. I liked the coyote brown color when riding. I still run and bike in an old pair of Oakley Half Jackets. I have an old large ALICE pack and frame that I use when I need to sweat some frustrations out and I go ruck. And I have a knock-off combat lifesaver bag without the medics emblem on it that I use to take my art supplies with me when I’m on the go. I also still use some old bore snakes and Otis cleaning kits that were issued, the waffle top, silks for a bottom layer under jeans when I ride motorcycles in colder weather and an old petzl tactical LED headlamp with a red lens cover is in the center console of my car.

Miso soup, since I’m in Japan🐸

Hi everyone! I really appreciate everyone’s inputs. I didn’t think I would get so many 🥹 with that being said, I did go with Osprey’s Nebula primarily due to the warranty everyone is raving about. But I do have some of your other recs in mind in case we don’t end up loving the nebula. Thanks again!

I went with Osprey Nebula, but I’ve actually seen this recommended a few times on this subreddit but haven’t looked into it until your comment. It looks like a perfect fit! I might have to reconsider once the Nebula comes in. 🤔

I use a step down converter as we have 220v here not 110!

At least you're consistently a prick.

I bought one of these about 2 years ago and it has held up fantastically

These are pockets of technical jackets

Bingo! Heat seamed seals on clothing not made of natural fibers is the issue I’m dealing with. So you’re saying that’s done because there’s no other way?

Technical jackets for sports? The ones I have have seen their pockets rip off due to the adhesive dying on me.

I’ve had a Mr. Lentz wallet for years and I love it. Looks amazing, the patina is nice on it now. Looks like they have some styles that might work.

Any safety razor will last for a lifetime.

I highly doubt it, they last too long!

Essential winter gear if you walk or use transit in anything colder than -8C. With two pairs of regular socks, my feet stay warm standing for an hour at -25C.

I’d love to have a laundry chute again. We had those in one of the houses.

I think IKEA bags would work for dirty laundry but I like the hard sides for folded laundry. You do fold your laundry, right?? lol

Firewood, lol. You ruined a family heirloom!

This one has to be at least 35, but probably 40 or older.

I repurposed one of my BDU shirts into a sling bag. It’s kind of like a triangular backpack. I used my belt for the strap. I loved my Bates combat boots, but I haven’t worn them in a long time.

We've had that washer for almost 20 years at this point lol. weird seeing this in the wild.

Merkur and box of feather blades. Done

I’m not a vet, but I hear a lot of them continue to use Fox River socks.
