Has anybody used the Duluth Trading firehose pants? I get the little catalog every now and then and see them. My Cahartt pants are getting a little worn so I'm going to need some new ones soon.

 

Wondering about the quality and fit compared to a Carhartt pant.

Can't speak for their pants but I've gotten shirts, shoes and underwear from there and I've been very pleased with all of it.

I literally read this title in the "New Content" section while the commercial for these pants was playing. Ide like to try a pair or two of these, but I never can find any to fit. I have a 38" inseam, and most places only carry 34".

Im 6'2", but mostly legs. I could probably make do with a 36" inseam, but I dont like to flood. Plus, I was told once that you arent overweight until your waist is larger than your inseam, so Im gonna stick with my 38x38 pants.

Got a pair for Christmas two years ago (Thanks Sis!). They ARE some tough and sturdily built pants. I am comfortable in them. Have not done anything crazy like have a chainsaw bounce into them or anything like that. I did have a wire rope slip off a tree trunk and slide over/down my leg . Bruised my leg but pants are OK. It was a fairly new rope so there were no snags yet.

 

I also have some blue jeans, I guess you would call them 'off brand', from the local Tractor Supply store. I would bet they would stand up about the same. Got those for 1/3 the price of the Duluth pants....

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
