Nights will dip to 75F but not super humid, just hot! We run fans during the night to keep the air moving but it never really cools down

My experience as an ice fishing guide is that they last about one season (4-5 months) of daily use

I have two pair of dry shods. The sizing is kind of weird but they’re very comfortable

Just fold down the sides and they slip on and off like slippers

I’ve got Cuddl Duds sheets from many years ago. Again, flannel isn’t just for winter. It’s very absorbent in the summer. Sometimes all you need are the sheets.
I believe you get what you pay for when it comes to bed linens. 🛌
I always use the search bar and put in 100 percent cotton when looking for anything.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thank you! I work in mining and go through 4 pairs a year. Muck boots wear out quick, but I can wear them on 12 hours shifts. My first pair lasted years. If he's the original Muck boot guy and is disappointed with the quality, I'm definitely getting some dry shods. Thanks for the comment.

Not sure if you consider them the same style, but Bean boots are still resoleable for cheap.
Just be careful that you actually get the made in USA "Bean Boots". I made the mistake of getting the similar looking but imported Storm Chaser boots and they cannot be resoled.

I have the arctic pros and honestly they’re too warm and my feet sweat so bad I may have just worn sneakers into the water filled ditches I work in all winter long. Overall not a bad boot though.

The original owner of Muck sold out, after Muck reduced the quality he started Dry Shod.

Reply to Removing rust from Oneida knives by NoAdministration8006
Follow others tips on removing the rust but you will need to give a BIFL knife maintenance FL and handwashing is a simple essential. Dishwashers are horrible for knives. They dull and rust. I would strongly advise handwashing these if you want them to last more than a few year.
The chemical solutions and resharpening will take more time and effort than a simple handwashing while also destroying the knife faster(wearing through steel from sharpening and chemicals).

We can all agree they’re a great brand but that’s not the purpose of the sub. The purpose of the sub is something that is high quality and made to last.
From the majority of comments it seems that this is a great brand to use but it is not a BIFL product.

I've had both for about a year. In the summer, i swap out the down comforter/cotton duvet cover for the blanket, which I put into a linen duvet cover. It's the perfect combination and perfect weight for me in warm weather. As for quality, I have a lot of Riley bedding and it's all holding up perfectly.

Yep, these split fairly easily particularly the steel toe version.

They actually went way down on quality after Danner bought them. I've been wearing Mucks for a decade.

Thanks, I edited my initial post, have you used both the Stanley and Yeti waterbottles?

The other bonuses are that no matter which option you pick, two twins are usually cheaper and they are much easier to wash!

When the grounds are compressed down on the bottom like that, you slow down the steeping really significantly. If you're super picky about coffee, this might not be good enough for you. For most people, it's fine and the coffee still tastes decent.
