How’s it holding up?
My 30 year old Teva sandals are still going strong
EDIT: Also my 25 year old DeWalt cordless drills. Original batteries and everything.

How?! The tread wears off mine in a matter of months, and eventually something tears.
I bought a nice Jansport backpack in 5th-6th grade, and it’s still going strong in my 30s. It’s been through years of school, college, and a family member took it when they had to do a military tour in Iraq. Still going strong, not a single tear.
Jansport? I thought those were the cheap ones I’ve had to replace every year for my kids
Yeah man, I’ve had both experiences with Jansport.
Have one that lasted FOREVER, and several that lasted less than two years. Couldn’t tell you why the difference. They were all very similar models.
Although, I bought a Swiss Gear backpack about 4 years ago for laptop/travel needs. Granted, there has been less wear on this backpack vs others I’ve had in my life. But this one has very little damage even after several trips. Very satisfied with this backpack.
I still have the same TV I got as a kid in the late 80s! It works great except it has a line at the bottom of the screen but that goes away within about 5 minutes of powering it on. I hooked it up to a Roku and use it to watch old TV shows lol
Heres a picture of it! The picture is much better looking in person, the camera makes the screen look like that
I’d love to do this. I watch Cheers, Seinfeld, and Frasier religiously as background noise.
It’s super easy! I just got this HDMI to coax adapter on Amazon!
An American made walker mower. I don’t expect me or my son will ever need to buy another mower again.
Stanley hammer 30ish years ago - still going strong. (Actually I have numerous tools I’ve had for 30+ years)
Probably not for life but damn long for a tv - a Sony xbr lcd flatscreen 1080p 46” that’s 15+ years old and still going strong with daily use.
A pair of bogs boots, they seem indestructible.
A McDermott pool cue - about 35 years old
Cast iron pans
Orvis fly rod
I have a Columbia winter coat that’s 15 years old and used all the time. I actually hate how long it’s lasted, I want a new one but can’t justify it.
My house - it’s a good house that will certainly outlast me.
I think everything else will fail before I kick the bucket. There’s a few things that’ll last for a while - but not for life.
My B&O landline telephone in 1982 1985. Didn’t really pan out.
I haven’t used it for 15+ years, so when we moved 5 years ago, I finally threw it out.
It was an amazing phone, super light handset, and superior sound compared to other phones, plus it was a very modern design.

huh. Still looks pretty modern indeed. It’s got that 70s-80s unashamed flashy coloring vibe to it, I like it. B&O is a pretty nice brand,… when you have the money… :)
