Reply to Asking for All-Clad for Christmas. D3 or D5 as a home cook? by RRH12345

I bought D5, but like another user mentioned, I chose them over the D3 (and even the copper) only because I preferred the look, and it wasn’t a financial hardship for me to do so. I would have been totally happy with D3 if I liked the shiny finish or if that was better for my budget.
And the D5 are quite heavy, as others have warned. I have to use both hands to lift unless they are empty, and I ladle instead of pour a lot of the time, now.

Reply to comment by mildOrWILD65 in Boots that will last by GrilledCatEggs

Not entirely true. They still make all of the supersoles, BRNR XPs, Dynaforces, Traction Treds, Nailseats, and (like you mentioned) Heritage boots in the USA.

That is a good majority, but we vote with our dollar, and the fact that they still offer made in USA boots is a good thing.

But yes, the marketing is slightly deceiving but not as bad as most work boot brands. (Chippewa and Brunts)

You'd have to look at them online - they're sold by several stores - find pieces that would fit what you're looking for, and then see what they're made of. Just enter "Cuddl Duds" into an internet search - lots of options for them will come up. Especially Kohl's, if you're in the U.S. Big sale on them at Kohl's.

Reply to BIFL Hunting Frame pack/freighter? by thePapaWillyTee

I got a military surplus frame pack that I've used backpacking through boy scouts and now just use for packing out meat. It has worked great, and I hauled out a deer with it last year. I actually got another one to hunt with my brother from goodwill that had funky colors, but they make camo rainflys to cover it. It worked great, too, though we didn't pack anything out on that hunt.

OP, you seem very defensive. No need. This is a very helpful sub/community. But if you come here with a list from here to the moon asking for advice on just about any household item, this really looks like you did zero research on your end and it comes across disrespectful for this community. I am glad you got some responses nonetheless. I hope you consider those other feedbacks as well next time you post for advice.

Reply to Any recommendations for sofa brands? by Sleepy_Sleepy_Sheepy

Arhaus, specifically the Baldwin. I've had my couch 5 years, looks new. Mom's had hers 15, looks the same as mine. Both are white. Mom's cushions are a little more settled than mine, but's it had daily use for longer. People only sit on my couch once a week.

Cover is removable and you can throw it in the washer. I dumped a can of coke down the side of mom's couch 10 years ago, can't tell. I got spaghetti on mine and didn't see it for a few days, came out like a champ.

You can get new slipcovers whenever from in stock fabric or have a custom one so you can change the look whenever (FYI not all custom covers are washable).

They are more expensive (I paid 3k years ago) as far as furniture goes, but man we are both thrilled with the couches construction, longevity and comfort.
