yeah I started collecting tv remotes, it’s my favorite

They should rename this subreddit to boughtitforlife

Wow, that brings back school days in the Sixties!

Wasn't there a phase where people took videos of them shooting/blowing up their coolers for some reason?

I have a Northface Recon from 2012 going strong. Thought about getting another newer one but it felt cheap when I saw it in person.

Seriously looking at this. How’s the actual durability?

Agree, been through at least ten of these, the hinges are garbage, that’s why they sell replacements. I also thought they got clobbered by the sun.

I actually use electric tape, it's held for almost three years now and is apparently waterproof because I've washed my jacket a few times since then.

Never have I ever opened one of those and the lid not slid off the back because the hinges were broken.

My boat came with a brand new igloo and the latches on the lid were pre-broken from the factory.

Yeah, agreed. Not my thing either, especially at that price. But they seem to be popular!

Glad that still works because I’ve been around a few and the hinges always break.

Also this haha

Are you familiar with the concept of collecting? Since you know, this is a collection.

I grab them when I can find them since they’re not made in the US or of this quality anymore. Sometimes you need more than one if you bring more than one hot thing out to the fish house or camping (coffee and soup for example). Also, I would like to gift a couple to my son when he’s old enough.

Maybe my stove just doesn't have a high enough heat rate, but I find searing requires a heavy pan as the stove doesn't heat fast enough for a good sear. My stainless steel can do it, but it also cost 10x as much as cast iron and still doesn't have the same heat retention.

all still work flawlessly... continued to buy more....

something isn't right here

Yeah. My puppy got at my arctaryx sleeve. They recommended this stuff. It's held for two years including machine wash and dry.

I have been carrying my Yavapai daily for 12 years and it’s still kicking. Little elastic details on the straps are kind of blown out, but it’s perfect otherwise!

Are you kidding me? These days it's ALL stainless. It ain't goin' nowhere - even the cheap stuff. You need something cheap? I'd go to my local thrift shop, and sort through what's there. Just get something heavier weight. The Sam's Club idea sounds like a possible winner.

We've got some silver plate serving spoons from my Grandma. They never get used, for obvious reasons. My son, now adult, got entranced by "old stuff" somewhere along the way. He's picked up a fair supply of old silverplate - but none of it likely predates my childhood. Some has got the brass showing through. I have very clear childhood memories of having to polish the silver. Not fond memories, either. Nobody really cares about what the flatware looks like anymore.

I can't even understand why anyone would WANT a complete flatware set these days. Unless you were planning on "entertaining" - but in that case I'd worry more about the quality and presentation of the FOOD. Make that amazing, and nobody's gonna notice what the forks look like.

That's pretty impressive

My toothbrush was like 120 and then the head are 10 for 50 bucks at Costco

No need to hold head when a pan is this and can conduct it super well.

*old worm drive skilsaw.

They're pretty much ryobi-tier garbo now :(

Hey Siri; open a reminder for this in 50 years.

Damn we had one for a bit too. The hinge would break, so we just used metal hinges. Other than that decent cooler.
