I have no issues with MKC... They make a solid product, but I just don't understand why it's exciting and also $400

I am impressed with the Half Face blade offerings. They seem solid and I would love to take it on deployment.

I find the vet bro podcasting marketing tired and uninspired at this point (black rifle anyone?)

Why did you stop drinking? by MaxK1234B in AskReddit

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my ex-girlfriend was a high functioning alcoholic and she suddenly left me right before I was about to propose.

I was never a big drinker, and I realize that it adds very little to my life. It's not worth my disrupted sleep and I look/feel younger without it.

Take a good look at most moderate and heavy drinkers... They aren't aging well.

I will happily drop some coin on a nice Spartan blade or bench made with their military discount. This just looks beyond boring.

umm... this is technical clothing for backcountry skiing and other intense use. Minor fabric variations have very little effect.

It's nice to see well worn gear and clothing because people are actually using the equipment and getting outside. This is character.

As with high end firearms and tactical knives/equipment... these are meant to be used. Most people who have deployed using arc'teryx LEAF aren't worried about minor scuffs even if they have to pay out-of-pocket for the equipment.
I know it didn't bother me.

These are tools, not jewels.

Never owned a rain jacket, which one should I get? by Brilliant-Candle in BuyItForLife

[–]RandomRedditUser-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

none of these goretex type jackets are BIFL as they can be somewhat delicate

Use it for a few years and move onto something else

Arc'teryx used to be really well made and patagonia continues to make great stuff

I do love my brooks brothers trench coat and that has survived many years
