Carpet, KQ? I expected more.

I happen to like carpet and a very nice one it is

[XXX-er]

That end of life shit is Bull shit cuz something else always comes along ... until it doesn't

BTW you need a pro saw not a fucking rancher saw and forget the maul get a splitter

[liv2ski]

This was a great car to drive and investment for sure.

Fucking TGR, why can I not post photos

[Tye 1on]

his ^^^ car

[ill-advised strategy]

forget the maul get a splitter

Then you'd have to drag it kicking and bleeding over to the splitter, get the thing started, try to hold it down while you operate the controls....keep it simple, keep it classic, maul on.

[Boosh]

had the same pair since 7th grade, resoled twice, i recommend the soft foot bed and genuine leather straps

[splat]

[that dude who did that thing]

Bought a Porter Cable router a decade ago, I think something in the 890 series. Never plan on replacing it.

I've been lusting after a set of Japanese saws as put together by Bridge City Tool Works.

My Winston fly rods. I need some reels that I can be confident will last as long, though an Orvis CFO I own has potential.

But it's hard to imagine many things I truly think I'll wear for the rest of my life. On the other hand, every fall I do think about buying a wool vest by Filson or Pendleton, so maybe I just should.

That hand splitting thing is just some stupid fucking romantic notion of pioneer life in America

last weekend I operated a 2speed 6.5ton electric splitter on solar/nano hydro for 2 days and filled the wood shed for a BC ski op without missing a beat

got a blister on my finger from pulling the lever

Meadow Skipper can appreciate these. This pair is only 10 years old.



Still have the 25 year old Wesco's as back up boots. Yeah, red.



The suede clogs are my favorite. 25 years old. I shouldn't even describe how good it feels to put my bare feet in those - some of you guys have teenage daughters. The leather ones are about 15 years old and barely broken in.



My wife says I look like I'm wearing over cooked baked potatoes...

[Aldo]

This is right up my alley....

[Benny Profane]

That's funny.

[jgb@etree]

I've had the Filson duffle for about 20 years and expect it to last at least another 20 and with their repair program, I think it'll be a hand me down to my oldest son, who is 5.

Not quite a fancy, stylish or expensive as filson, but I've had two TNF daypacks that I've been beating on for >20 years already with no real signs of fatigue. I bought the newer one when I was ~14 and used it for most of high school & all of college. Then I used it to carry my laptop for 5-6 years, before my wife confiscated it to carry around kid clothing and stuff. After about the 3rd day of kindergarten this fall, my son started using it for his school backpack.

The older one is still in service today as my ski bag. Which, when packed with my ski stuff, weights a metric shit ton.



Sorry for being so classless in such a classy thread.

Every guitar I own will be here after I'm recycled. Any of you folks know where to get a fully warrantied liver?

[iceman]

Yeah you ski a little more than me, you do wear em out. My ones from like 8 years ago still look kinda newish.

I shoulda been there last week but shit happens. Pretty much agonized over that one.

100 year warranty on everything they sell: www.saddlebackleather.com

My waterbag makes that Filson look kinda cheap like they cut some corners during the design phase.

[Benny Profane]

Patagonia warranties for life. Just sayin'.

That bag looks nice. I heard about them a couple years ago and now I remember why I got turned off, the dude's story is so fucking pompous. http://www.saddlebackleather.com/the-story

But you bought a bag, not a story. Looks nice.

[Cruiser]

Come on mang, dude brought toothbrushes to needy African kids. What else do you want from him?

But seriously, I picked up a utility wallet and heritage belt from Tanner Goods a while ago. I may end up replacing the wallet in a couple of decades but the belt will be included in my will. www.tannergoods.com

Slate roof


and my Toyota...275K miles and still going strong.

Those aren't the exact Bean boots, I couldn't find an image. But the Sorels do look good. They used to be made in Canada, but Columbia bought them and now they're made in China. Bean boots are made in Maine. Advantage Bean.

Zwilling chef knife, my Weber grill plus the Green Egg and a 99 cent magnetic bottle opener.

I've had that saw for 11 years - stihls kick it's ass - that saw has no high end - it is easy to start and dependable
