  • Yikes. My brother works a hard large job and is full of aches and pains and I still see him buy mostly crap footwear and it blows my mind.

    My girlfriend has never quite understood why I spend more money on shoes and boots than actual clothing, but now she started working 12 hours shifts at the hospital on her feet the majority of the day. Guess who started with one pair of Brooks, but now has 3 pairs of Brooks? 😁




  • If we’re including captive animals, the one that stands out the most to me is a Chaco Owl. It’s not considered endangered yet, but it’s only found in one particular area of the world, at the borders of Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina.

    In the wild, I’ve come across porcupines on a few occasions, and I almost had a fisher cat run up my leg. I didn’t know we even had them in my state, so I was very freaked out as to what this long, furry thing coming at me was. I wish I had maintained my composure so I could have gotten a better look at it, but it’s also the kind of thing in glad we figured out what each other was before I was in biting range!


  • You know, I came into this thinking I didn’t particularly like clothes, but now I think it’s just clothes shopping I don’t enjoy.

    I got a Starter windbreaker type jacket around 98-00 and I still wear it every spring and fall. I got a new and upgraded zipper on it a few years back and I just rewaterproofed it last year and it’s still awesome. That is probably the oldest clothing item I have and it’s something I enjoy at least as much, if not more, than when I bought it since it’s been through so much of my life with me.










  • I had a pair of the Reebok Comp Toe Duty Boots when they had the contract for those. They were probably the first boot that felt like a sneaker I had and it really changed how I looked for an everyday boot. The socks look pretty nice as well.

    Are these stretchy pants that look like regular pants, or more form fitting like the ladies’ yoga pants? Searching mens stretch pants give me a lot of things that look like traditional pants, but I wasn’t sure if you meant like when jeans have elastic in the fabric or something else.



  • Those look nice! I’m surprised the OG one is in the somewhat reasonable splurge price range. I was expecting closer to the price of the recycled one.

    When I saw you say it was made of the leftovers, I was picturing something like the Cotopaxi Del Dia stuff, but it probably makes more sense what it actually is where it’s normal colors. 🤪


  • Those were my 2 guesses! I know people like wheel weights and fishing sinkers for melting down, so I was curious what you were making.

    I used to do reloading but I never allowed myself to start buying casting supplies. I already had enough gear laying around and didn’t want to spend all my time making bullets instead of actually shooting. Did do metal casting in school though, and it is a lot of fun!


  • I want to pick up more pairs than just the Walmart cheapies I’ve had. I’ve really started loving wool the last few years. I have a thin wool blanket on my bed all year now on top of the top sheet, and it keeps me the perfect temp all year. I toss a second one on top in the winter. I’m typically very hot all the time, and the wool keeps me at that just right point.
