Cadence capsules have yet to fail me. They’re pricey but worth it to me

If you play enough pond hockey those choppers might last you a couple years at best.

One thing I try to do is go as far towards solid as possible with along the product continuum. The worst is a thin watery liquid. If you can move up to gel or thick cream or even solid you’re saving yourself lots of headaches. I use the hotel shampoo and mouthwash and thicker creams as much as possible

I got tired of replacing them so I got a good cot and put memory foam on it, works like a charm

In addition to squeezing out air, it's a good idea to zip bag or double zip bag if packed tightly in luggage next to other stuff you don't want destroyed ( electronics, underwear, medications...)

I work for LL Bean and I will not die on a bill defending it, but it’s not outsourced to china and there’s still a lot made here in America.

First name only, I believe they had a bunch of announcements about the lost and found being over filled and it was just bad luck he lost his jacket at the deadline. I am sympathetic to the first owners argument and I didn’t bust the kids for fighting. Generally when fists fly there are serious consequences.

Found mine at a yard sale for $5 back around 2010, still going strong. They basically had a great design just tweaked it over the years.

My revelation was that you can buy bar shampoo and even conditioner too. No need to worry about bottle explosions or TSA assholes.
Added bonus: it's possible for these to be sold without any plastic packaging (although sometimes they still are)

I’ve had this set for 20–25 years without any issues or leaks. Admittedly, my travel is occasional, not frequent.

Invest in a carbon monoxide alarm too. Cheap safety never hurt.

When I was researching Kitchenaid stand mixers recently, I came to the same conclusion.. kind of. The commercial version looks like it has a significantly upgraded motor (horsepower is listed as 1.3, vs home version where horsepower isn't listed). Thing is, it also only comes in an 8 quart bowl size. That's.. kind of huge. Takes up a lot more space in the kitchen. Harder to move around and store. So there's definitely a trade-off here.

The lost and found couldn't locate the jacket's owner with his name literally written on it?

Yeah was gonna say Rab own them now, and Rab make good quality stuff so the Lowe Alpine brand will most likely be solid. I have a Rab hold-all which is great.

I used to live on a “totally not a commune” and they had this espresso machine for like 20 years, used daily by 10-15 people pretty much the whole time and I bet it’s still trucking 6 years later. Total workhorse, I’ve been looking for a secondhand one since I left that place but no luck.
