@SamanthaM any interesting follow-up?
Yes and no. Thinking about a nice fixer-upper near my parents house.
However, some life events are in flux so its looking more difficult to commit to a particular area.
Are Redwings as good as some say they are?
Yes
If you like walking on clouds and a lifetime of quality
I am more impressed with my new pair of wolverines than I am any other steel toe work boot I've had in recent years. [including redwings]
My pair of redwings have zero cushioning. I only bought them because I needed steel toe boots for work asap. I replaced the insoles with the fattest ones they had to make it better. I
Danner! Mine are like walking on clouds

Our ancestors didn’t need inserts in their work boots. 🤨
Our ancestors also died with hips that didn't work
Utilize modern conveniences, guys. We weren't meant to walk on hard surfaces all day, so if you want to have all your original joints at 60, take care of them

Don’t work on hard surfaces all day...
Easier said than done, my man

We're not all neets and some of us work jobs that keep our country going.
Oosh
Keep our country going...like what? The military? Because if that’s so then I’m right there with you bro.
Yes john is right.
Had this umbrella for about 7 years. Buying another because I misplaced it. Never blew inside-out from wind, it’s sturdy, and it’s SPF rated to block sun.

Let me know what you guys think of this. I haven't tried it

I have a couple. Haven’t had an issue yet. I take it during day hikes and even on my week long trip in Utah. I recommend them. Another is sawyer squeeze for water bottle filtering.
Have a couple myself in emergency stash
All three of my boots (hunting, hiking, and work) are redwing/Irish setter
Best brand
Union guys get all the best shit
^ this guy...
aha
Tell me I'm wrong
I would go union if I could talk to my 18 year old self. I've got other things going on rn, though, so it's too late
I go danner...

Storable food (20 year shelf life):
Augason Farms Basic Emergency Food Pail (1,220 calories/day ~ $70, 523 cal/$) = <https://www.samsclub.com/sams/af-basic-30d-pail/prod21271370.ip>
Augason Farms Emergency Food Supply Pail (1,822 calories/day ~ $95, 575 cal/$) = <https://www.samsclub.com/sams/af-30-day-basic-food/prod20380167.ip>

A common suggestion for storable food is Mountain House, but they are way expensive.
There's also Backpacker's Pantry, which is also pricey
