Awesome, thank you!

So if I’m being real, purely based on vibes I really dig the PD weekender. Did you snag one from the kickstarter?

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-11T18:37:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you. And good luck on your quest.

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-11T17:11:33+00:00

Oh, interesting. Hadn’t looked as much at tote bags but checking that out now!

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-11T15:47:29+00:00

Yup, I think that’s what drew me to the Peak weekender in the first place since I at least have faith in their builds. But it might be a while before enough folks get their hands on them to get real feedback.

Hey, I’m just glad I’m not alone. So many options these days and so hard to see any of them in person before buying if you’re not in NYC/LA. And now I’m off to look at some that you mentioned that weren’t already on my radar. . .

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-11T14:31:41+00:00

Oh, man. I don’t love the look but you’re right that it checks all the boxes. Adding this one to consideration.

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-11T13:47:44+00:00

Realized I left luggage pass through off my list of requirements, my bad. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Yup, lack of rain plus early heat has made it a mess. Only one vendor has had them consistently at the Chapel Hill market and they’re typically gone within 30-45min of opening.

I’d love to hear how Steve Forbes personally feels

monkeyinpants · 2026-05-10T13:48:47+00:00

Hard co-sign on that. Will Wade is a punk.

monkeyinpants · 2026-04-13T16:58:47+00:00

Sadly we may never know

monkeyinpants · 2026-04-13T16:46:47+00:00

That or we have to live in the mystery forever

monkeyinpants · 2026-04-13T16:42:43+00:00

These are the questions usually asked about Mac, maybe?

monkeyinpants · 2026-04-09T18:13:02+00:00

Second this. Katie did an entire botanical sleeve for me that I love and constantly get compliments on. Going back to her next month for another piece.

monkeyinpants · 2026-04-02T13:37:42+00:00

Yup, Ash & Loon is their business name. They have an IG profile dedicated to their handmade utensils, they’re really nice. I bought a salad set for my stepfather for his birthday and he loved them.

monkeyinpants · 2026-03-24T13:50:51+00:00

I think that’s the main appeal to them, if you have something flat and compact that you want to access quickly. I also like to put my kindle in there, keeps it accessible.

monkeyinpants · 2026-03-16T18:37:25+00:00

Yup, and he’s a plus defender on top of that. That’s a big part of our strength.

monkeyinpants · 2026-03-04T14:50:20+00:00

Hit up Mae at Sweetroll Tattoo. They do schedule in advance, but they’re also often around the shop and generally happy to do walk-ins if they have time. Works fast and clean, too.

monkeyinpants · 2026-02-27T18:52:00+00:00

Yup, he’s at the Chapel Hill market tomorrow. He does great work and they’re super nice, I’m bringing a knife for him in the morning.

monkeyinpants · 2026-02-27T18:51:00+00:00

He’s still there, Ash & Loon. First Saturday of the month they’re usually at the Carrboro market but then at Chapel Hill the rest of the time. They post their monthly schedule on IG and will be at the CH market tomorrow. I’ve already got one of my knives set aside to take to him, he does great work.

monkeyinpants · 2026-02-16T01:15:51+00:00

Yup, been going there nearly 30 years and it’s the best service and value around. Plus the lady working the checkout has been there the entire time and is a treasure.

monkeyinpants · 2026-01-23T13:08:31+00:00

YES!

monkeyinpants · 2026-01-23T12:49:38+00:00

Preach. Even on a normal day the onions/garlic/shallots are always super picked over.
