We just buy the regular bin bags that are used in our city (as in, we have to use specific bags to make sure the rubbish collectors pick them up), in the 60l size.

Objectively this particular G-Shock is one of the greatest watches ever created -

• It's incredibly rugged which means it will take almost anything you throw at it. Even if you break something you can easily get replacement parts and fix it yourself.
• It's light-powered which means it will keep ticking as long as you expose it to light - even indoor lighting. Maybe in 12 or 15 years you'll need to replace the capacitor in it but that's cheap and easy to fix.
• It's damn near waterproof and can survive water pressures higher than everyone but the most dedicated divers may need.
• It's a quartz watch which means it will stay accurate better than the best mechanical watches and what's better it's synced to atomic clocks which means it will always be accurate.
• It has additional feature such as a stopwatch, alarms, etc.

It's probably the last true "tool" watch left and it's cheap and fairly compact unlike most other G-Shocks with a similar set of features.

Subjectively people may find it fugly and I can't blame them for that. It is a very ugly watch though that's half the charm of G-shocks.

I have one exactly like it! Love that it sets itself, including daylight saving time, and charges its battery from the sun. You basically dont have to do anything to have a watch that always keeps the time right.

Travelpro is what I always saw flight attendants and such using when I flew regularly for work. At one point I got a companion pass from southwest in 6 months (100 round trip flights).

Honestly though, most airlines have a luggage department at most airports, if your bag is damaged they will give you a voucher for one, and you can often pick a replacement up at the airport or elect to pick one online and have it shipped to you.

I always used Samsonite with good results. I was a traveling electrician and my 30" bag was loaded to the limit (50lbs) with electrical material for every flight I made, and it never had a hiccup. It was damaged 3 separate times, shell was cracked, one of the corners got a dent in it. In fact I claimed damaged 3 separate times on that 30" bag and have got 3 replacement bags for it. Was never damaged beyond use, so kept using it.

Also you could just replace them on a schedule.

Unfortunately, building a made-to-measure last is an extremely rare skill these days, requiring a great deal of time, labor, and expertise. Anyone you could go to with a legitimate level of skill will likely charge in the thousands of dollars range for a custom last.

A cheaper way these companies can size larger feet is to take an existing last and build up material over it to meet your measurements. This may cost in the $50-$150 range to get sized as opposed to the thousands of dollars range. The downside is that they can only build up so much material on the last, so your feet may be too big to go with the less-expensive option.

Whichever route you end up going down, I hope you find a solution that works for you. This really is a difficult challenge to solve.

Rocky Mountain Hand-shoes would be another suggestion. https://www.rockymtnhandshoes.com/

Do they require brand-specific liners or will just any 13 gallon do?

Okay. I’m glad you have an opinion.

On number 3 in our house, but that’s because I have little kids who eff shit up as soon as they get the chance

My Dad gave me his old thermos like that one in '85 and everything, but the handle, will last forever. Unless you're me and you backed a dump truck over it a few years ago. Keep it safe.

you may want to check the content on r/goodyearwelt to find some high quality work boots that can be resoled. for up to 500$ you can definitely find good and heavy-duty boots, idk about sizing, though. people go for brands like Red Wing, Thorogood, JK Boots..

My fiance's 2008 gti is at 180k miles and really only needed standard maintenance.

Laughs in Casio

Moisture can evaporate.

Just cuz you never know... You know that bulletproof test is fake, right?

The explosion one I believe is legit.

The only time I've ever replaced a G-Shock was when I lost my G-Shock. Guaranteed it's still ticking away at the bottom of that river.

Yea idk, I've had some shit luck with ford. But yes it's really about how you take care of your vehicle. Any vehicle can last long with good care

Thanks for the links. They are well built watches for sure

I wish I could help with that. I know my dad originally did plaster castings, back in the day. He says they still keep them "on file". I have no idea what method they use now. Sorry I couldn't help.

Sounds great, you should post it here.

Haha no worries, I just saw an opportunity and had to go for it!

Ouf, pets have their ways of making us think twice about what we get. Thankfully, our cats have never tried to get to the rubbish because these cans would make the perfect traps. 🤣

I like the idea for sure, is there a way to have a different (read as cheaper) person do the measuring? I can swing the price of the boots, but the measuring costs seems steep

Buy from Luggage Works and the thing will just last forever.

One of the best watches maybe ever!
