And I am here looking for something worth the price that isn't designed to fail and be discarded. I would use your pot because it is still better than anything non stick off the shelf at Walmart.

For the record my statement was more directed at the current state of the sub and not your particular post. I apologize. The enable enamel* isn't right on your pot but I think the hole is intentional to keep pressure from building in the hollow handle.

It’s dripping rust water everywhere.

6 months for a stock pot life is unacceptable. Yes though, BIFL shouldn’t be literal, that’s a pretty unreasonable expectation. Maybe BIFL is closer to a decade of use? What’s the consensus on that one? Two decades?

Not sure why a chip on the outside of the pot is an issue. Only send it in if the chip is on the interior.

I have Dutch ovens that are 10+ years old and are chipping and not looking great around the rim. And while there is a limited 5 year warranty on products, there are no free returns. So you are on the hook for sending the item in. Shipping in a heavy pot is expensive and this transaction ultimately cost me the cost of the pot plus $41. Buyer beware of the enamel stock pots.

I really think some people just have unrealistic expectations.

that's the point

better buy used at garage sales

Industrial design, art. Probably not practical at all.

My le creuset stock pot was made in China and also very disappointing. Now I just assume all their non French made stuff is low quality

Le Creuset is more BIFL than the majority of items posted in this sub. Many members have pieces decades old and still going strong. Any of their cast iron enameled pieces also have a lifetime warranty.

I used a Oakley backpack throughout college thing was a tank.

MI5 issue?

i’m not far behind, vans backpack 7 years going strong <3

Got one when I was 13 and never thought I’d be filling it with diapers at 33

Yea, but they ugly.

I’ve been using my Jansport for over 40 years.

Check out Western Rise Diversion pant, and Vuori for joggers.

I have this brand in a fanny pack! It is the toughest little bag, I use it constantly. I got it years ago for free with a coupon from Zappos. I was just thinking the other day, is this an actual name brand? And here I see this post.

I had a similar one! Used it from early middle school, through many outdoor camps, till my post university mountain hiking days till it finally fell apart.

Thing looks rough bro, I got a 20 year old ES backpack that still looks brand new

everlane pants are great!

They do! I bought some pants from them a few years back (on Amazon I think) for a trip to Iceland and they worked very nicely! I have a jacket I still wear to this day too, great quality and good prices!
