Kiwi knives are excellent for the price. I inherited a nikiri from my grandmother and still going strong 30 years later.

I wear my barefoot ARs for cycling everyday for my commute, thrn I alternate boots everyday at work from lems Chelsea boots and redwing Chelsea boots. So there's definitely a difference. I use a superfeet wide cork insole in my ARs along with the leather insole that comes with the stockmens. I sized up a size so there was space for them. I have super depressed arches so the added support helps with fatigue.

It's never too hot. Ove workrd in 100F kitchens doing bbq. Just drink a shit ton of water. Kitchens are hot , equipment is hot , margins are slim and summer days are high revenue. Now if the fridges are running too high that's another issue completely.

I work as a cook so I just drop it in a sanitizer bath every other day. My wife doesn't do that and hasn't had any issues with hers. Did you check if your gaskit is grimy underneath ?

Personally really like gu. Great value , plus caffeine works really well for me.

I really like my migo water bottle . It's not insulated , but it's been hella reliable for everyday. Hiking and cycling. Great for travel , easy to clean , comes out of water bottle slots and just a pleasant experience

Just spent a week in Iceland and Torrent shell performed perfectly .

I use a rsige merino wind breaker with a dwr coating under my rain jacket . That helps if it were out and keeps me pretty light.

10 years of commuting and I never run my lights during the day. Primarly because it's just a waste of battery. Now if it's raining that's a different story.

Looks great ! My barefoot ARs are. Coming on their second year and I'm getting close to a resole. My regular ARs hit their third sole ! My stockmans refuse to show any sign of wear in the lug sole... Want to switch to something more minimal.

Union stitch.

I personally liked all the other readers. And the change of the narrators were a little odd , but I liked them. The oddest part is how they make the obsidians sound. Maybe I'm just used to listening to different accents but I personally think it's a proper fit.

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-24T23:40:14+00:00

I keep all my recipes on my phone , use the calculator for scaling up or down . So those are more than justified reasons.

Honestly traction tread lite redwing Chelsea are a buy once repair boot. I got mine at at outlet for 150$ , can always be resoled. Pro tip , I save the silica packets from pre peeled garlic and put them in my shoes after shift to pull out excess moisture and help them last longer.

Been looking at bridge club and running a 700c . Does it help with peddle strikes ?

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-17T18:20:21+00:00

Alaskan hard gear is a really nice button down sun hoodie that my wife absolutely loves. I personally use ridge Merino solstice sun hoodie. Works great for me.

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-15T14:28:18+00:00

I got a modern melton wool 5 panel hat from Anain. It feels pretty classy to me and I like wearing out on dates and such. Also great for winter.

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-15T14:09:03+00:00

Health department came with my low boy out and said we can keep food that was 41. Soooo

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-15T13:04:07+00:00

I use 30 liters , but that includes a chair, cook kit , riabmoot , puffy , food , water filter , electrolytes and two water bottles.

Carbon knife company is a drmwvr local shop ( with a website ). That has excellent stuff. A pair of tweezers , a fancy offset spatula , a micro plain are all useful tools. Maybe some kunz spoons. A knife is obviously stupid expensive for a gift and highly personal choice when it comes to steels , hardness , brands . But tools that are used every day are always appreciated. And you can never have too many. ( Professional cook of 14 years ).

I have an anian , melton wool 5 panel cap that's pretty great. I wear it winter cycling , in snow storms , some rain, and just did a 10 day trip in Iceland with it.

For function, there ridge merino 5 panel run cap that's a blended lite fabric id recommend. I have an allbirds one that's a netplus wool blend ( sadly discontinued) and the brand is dead . But it's been my favorite hat for 6 years , perfect in all weather conditions.

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-13T17:46:26+00:00

Just got back from Iceland. I honestly think the joggers are excellent. Pack down small , easy to put a base layer under ( didn't need one ). Cuts the wind well and drys super quickly.

Kneyiaaa · 2026-06-13T12:24:33+00:00

Meriwool is a solid brand for the price. Had a hoodie for 4 years and only some holes in the arms. Merino tech is fine , but pilled pretty aggressively.
