      I'm the opposite of materialistic (which allows me to have a nice budget for IH gear)… Nowt wrong with buying top quality gear that lasts and lasts and lasts and isn't made in a damn sweatshop...

        @grandmasterben:

        Do you guys ever feel bad about how materialistic we are? I love nice stuff but sometimes I wonder why I feel this need to spend so much money on a shirt, or pants. What do you guys think?

        honestly i do feel bad at times about spending so much while others struggle to make their ends meet. however, think of it this way, this is the way life is and if you are financially capable of spending top dollars for quality stuffs then why not? we can't go around the world crying for the poor nor can we do much in helping them. we can stop buying expensive stuffs and give the poor money for this particular time but are we supposed to do that forever? hell no! giving them money doesn't solve their poverty. its many other issues like education, opportunities and etc. there's a old saying, " you don't give the man a fish, you teach them how to fish"

        so chill mate, there's absolutely nothing wrong and there is no need to feel bad cos we work hard for our money and we have every right to spend it on whatsoever we wanna spend on (be it spending thousands on booze or hookers; its your money)  😉

        p.s/ this is just my point of view and i know some would frown upon reading this. sorry if i pissed anyone off with this post.  🙂

          I know guys who spend just as much as I do, but on far lower quality items. I have three pairs of jeans, they have 25, I have 8 shirts, they have 50. To me, they are operating a false economy, our gear will last the test of time, there's will be on a dump in the next 12 months.

                yeah so don't feel bad about spending so much on quality stuffs. So now, go to www.ironheart.co.uk and start getting more quality stuffs that you can use for the next 2-3 decades at least. 😃

                    Have e-books always been more expensive than paperbacks?

                      Pretty much I think. That's one of the two reasons why I don't own any…

                        Yeah…just came back from the local bookstore hoping to pick up the Game of Thrones bundle,that was unfortunately not available, when I realized I could likely buy them for cheaper via Amazon. Not the case. Merde.

                          Best to buy paperbacks second hand I find, either in charity shops or online. I realise that this is straying wildly off-topic (sorry). Check out abebooks.com or alibris.com.

                                    Anyone have suggestions on a gas powered generator? I just went through 24 hours without electricity in 100+ degrees weather

                                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                      I've had good luck with half.com for cheap books.

                                      Damn, Doug, that sounds awful.  I don't have any info on generators, though.  Sorry.:(

                                        Is there some sort of technical reason why the gray marl tee shirts are 95% cotton instead of 100% like the other colors?

                                          What are the best running shoes?

                                          Not too concerned about looks.
                                          At least 80% of my running is on a treadmill.

                                          I know this might just come down to preference, but I'm sure there have to be some shoe specs out there that are better than others.

                                          As of right now, I'm into New Balance.
                                          Anyone have a preferred New Balance shoe?
