Where do people buy things that don't break? (hexbear.net)

Whenever I buy clothes they always end up getting holes quickly, I burn through socks fast, my bags keep breaking, my phones magically shit themselves and my chargers melt. I'm sick of everything being a wear part and I'm wondering where people get things that last.

It all depends on what you are looking for.

Anker is the only brand I use anymore for chargers and cords.

I'm fairly hard on clothes, I expect most things to wear out. Carhartt pants stay intact long enough to be acceptable to me. I'm trying to lose weight cause pants last longer for me when my thighs aren't rubbing together. Carhartt coats are good. Socks, I get a big pack from walmart, I think I bought their third cheapest option and they've been going good for twoish years. I wear boots out in about a year.

Stihl small engines with ethanol free gas.

I currently drive and old Jeep with 260k miles, and have a 20 year old chevy tahoe with 320k miles. Find vehicles that have been taken care of and continue to take care of them.

I got a heck of a deal on a GoRuck bag and I've been very pleased.

If you can be more specific with what you are looking for, I can try to help more.
