End-Of-Life Purchases

[billyk]

If these were truly “end of life purchases”, why would I ever buy one?

Has anyone burned through a North Face base camp duffle? I’ve got one that’s 12+ years old with no signs of blowing up.

Not even sure if this was the base camp back then, but this is going on about 25 years or so.

As I sit here and listen to my 15 year old Honda generator I realize I’ll probably not buy another one. This thing has an untold amount of hours on it. The first few years of ownership I religiously changed the oil and babied it.

Nowadays I throw it in the back of the truck, feed it the cheapest gas, and it purrs for hours at my property. My 12yo can fuel it and have it going within two pulls. The choke spring broke a few years ago, we prop it open with a locally sourced juniper stick.

Pretty sure it will outlive me.

Loved those shoes. I’d buy another pair in a heartbeat…

Maybe the cuisinart food processor, but it’s only 25 years old, it could burn out?

I dropped the lid during our last move and had to buy a new one. Our motor is still going strong.

My 2009 Macbook is going to be end of life this winter. Linux is no longer going to no longer support the integrated nvidia graphics card and that is the end of kernel updates. I'm pretty torn up about it.

Things reaching the end of their lives wasn't really the original point of the thread, kind of the opposite actually, but whatever.

I need a pair of skis to carry me to the end. Like 185, 105, decent sidecut, some camber, not too stiff and not too heavy but durable. Maybe I should just take my almost 20-year-old Kingswoods back from my kid, those things will never die.

Get marshal to lay you up some custom Heritage Labs.

My ‘01 Sequoia has 66,666 miles on it. Might last foreva if my wife doesn't crash it. Damn AC just went out though.

Finally bought a new cooler with thick walls. My other coolers are from college. This thing will certainly outlast me.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

Is it a Lifetime cooler? I have a couple, they’re US made and every bit as nice as Yetis etc but about a third the cost.

Igloo. Also much cheaper than a Yeti.

Now that i have an electric cooler, i rarely use the rotomolded coolers anymore. I have 4.

[The Reverend Floater]

Canyon Coolers are the best value. I have one and an identical Yeti and the Canyon always outperforms the Yeti.

Same. Just went on a trip to the coast and had mine set with a red wine section at 55 and a white wine section at 40! Tough to beat that.
