And resoleable!

My mom had a Singers from the 1960's, not sure of the model but it still works, weighs a ton! My sister inherited it. My grandma had the old Singer with the manual foot pedal. My mom and uncle bought her a more modern Singer years later but she held onto the old Singer which went to my aunt, it still works too!

I have Sorel and they proved great

Came here to say the same. We have two. One is 5 years old one is 7 years old. We use them all the time plus take them camping in the summer.

Ll Bean original bean boot. Either insulated or uninsulated and double up on socks, but they're still made in Maine and built to last. I've got the 10" shearling lined ones, on my 4th year and they still look new. They're like an insulated sneaker to walk and drive in, I don't know that I'll ever buy a pair of thick treaded hunting boots again.

Kamiks are made in Canada and New Hampshire and are an excellent, lifelong piece of footwear. Shop their styles to see what suits you.

Parsons bed frame from Room and Board

I like Etsy for solid wood stuff. You can find some for under $500. I saw a dark cherry queen platform bed frame for $450 today.

True. My feeling, although I don't have any personal experience, is that a platform bed without a box sping under the mattress would sit too low to be able to get out of comfortably. Especially if a person is heavy, has a bad back, or something like that.

Ahhh that makes sense. My husband isn’t too particular, so you’re probably right. Thank you for being honest!

Soldiers already carry too much gear, he will appreciate a light one. IP67 is a pretty tough requirement to meet. The Nitecore Carbo 20000 is IPX5, and comparatively lightweight, with a tougher shell than the NB20000 it is derived from.

You want BIFL? Get a good set of traditional wired headphones with a Bluetooth adapter/amplifier. Maybe a grado sr80x at $125 https://4ourears.com/products/sr80x?variant=39583367200816 And a Bluetooth thing like this for less than $20: https://www.1mii.com/product-item/ml100/

The cans will last forever (the parts like foam are replaceable). The Bluetooth bit will last as long as something with a lipo battery can.

Adidas Terrex Free Hiker 2 gore-tex. Best hiking shoe ever

Don't think there's such a thing as bifl batteries. They all tend to start to deteriorate after 3-5 years, depending on usage. Def get one with usb c since most products are upgrading to it.

OP would need a separate expandable solar panel

It is subjective because everyone’s gait and weight is different. Maybe for you it’s longer. But generally speaking, the cushion of the shoes will be long gone by the time it’s literally unwearable.

Edit: also this is the guideline for running not walking, which obviously involves more impact.

It depends on if you’re looking at a standard frame that requires a box spring or a platform style bed.

I’ve had a large Anker one for about 7 years and still use it.

Yeah that sounds like a good combo, though I'm not sure how much those mini solar panels charge... Not a lot, though.

Nice, I’m glad you guys feel this way. I’ve always gone w Anker.

So perhaps a 20k mah one with three ports and usb-c capacity ($60?) and a thin folding solar panel to go with it?

I think regular mattress stores have a few different grades of metal mattress supports but I'm not positive. I've been using my since at least 1992.

I know that Home Depot, Walmart, Wayfair, Lowe's, Target, et al do.

I've been using the same traditional style since I don't remember how far back and it's the original adustable type on rollers. I've never seen or heard of any weight issues. They come in adjustable lenths and heights. This type:

We have a Zinus metal bed frame from Amazon. It’s built like a tank and surprisingly incredible quality for the price point.

Thoroughly recommend them.

If you want a quality powerbank, Anker should be anyone's go-to.

Amish Outlet or any Amish furniture store. Will be more expensive, but they still make solid wood furniture.

Anker is a solid brand. Think they have a 20k mah one.
