    10 things I can't live without. It's clearly more than ten but that's okay I think. No offense taken, right? Right. Hello everyone today we are looking at some cool things that I have. Do I love them? Do I use them? Yes. Take a gander at my Rolex Explorer 114270, my Leica M4-P, my Timex Flix, my Opinel, my 5 year journal, my messy apartment...etc.
    Can I interest you in a hot bowl of following ME and The Snail in other places??

    The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)

      It’s not entirely genuine, UA-camrs receive free products not out of the kindness of a company’s heart (such a thing doesn’t really exist lol). They get them in the hopes that the UA-camr will feel obligated to give the brand a shoutout and that the product will show up in the background of or be worn in videos. These are subtle forms of advertising. Since this guy is a businessman, he probably knows this, so his compliments are less about gratitude and more about giving the donors what they want.

    "I'm living in the material world
    Living in the material world
    can't say what I'm doing here
    But I hope to see much clearer
    After living in the material world
    I got born into the material world
    Getting worn out in the material world
    Use my body like a car
    Taking me both near and far
    Met my friends all in the material world
    Met them all there in the material world
    John and Paul here in the material world
    Though we started out quite poor
    We got 'Richie' on a tour
    Got caught up in the material world
    From the Spiritual Sky
    Such sweet memories have I
    To the Spiritual Sky
    How I pray
    Yes I pray
    That I won't get lost
    Or go astray
    As I'm fated for the material world
    Get frustrated in the material world
    Senses never gratified
    Only swelling like a tide
    That could drown me in the
    Material world
    From the Spiritual Sky
    Such sweet memories have I
    To the Spiritual Sky
    How I pray
    Yes I pray
    That I won't get lost
    Or go astray
    While I'm living in the material world
    Not much 'giving' in the material world
    Got a lot of work to do
    Try to get a message through
    And get back out of this material world
    I'm living in the material world
    Living in the material world
    I hope to get out of this place
    By the LORD SRI KRSNA'S GRACE
    My salvation from the material world
    Big Ending"

I have been blind for the last seven years and I always enjoyed wearing a nice watch but now my issue is they do have watches for the blind, but They are a very, very poor quality. It would be nice if one of the manufactures would try to solve this issue it should be waterproof. It should have a quality leather band and it must talk of course. They do make the talking watch is an analog and digital, so this would be interesting if you could try to tackle this issue. Thank you once again.

    Don’t get too “into” knife steel would be my advice. I thought I needed high class knife steel. “Good” knife steel tends to be hard to sharpen and not worth the price or effort. Something you can sharpen easily is better.
    Edit: Like the Opinel. Or a Victorinox. The latest, greatest knife steel tends to be more brittle, hard to sharpen and doesn’t always have the same corrosion resistance. Don’t get me wrong. I still have some modern knives with flashy steel but it in no way makes the knife more usable or dictates what I have in my pocket (today, a Vicorinox Rambler on my car keys. So small it’s barely there but does most things I need).

    • @MultiVance123
      @MultiVance123 Рік тому

      Knife steel is a huge rabbit hole. There’s the blade material itself, the heat treat on the steel, and then the type of grind on the blade in conjunction with the actual edge angle. When it comes down to it, I completely agree that the flashy steels in a lot of high end modern knives are cool and can definitely boost performance, I have found that ease of maintenance has become the most important aspect of a knife steel for me.

    Hey! I doubt you will see this but if you do, can you tell me where you got that wool button down? I have been looking for one like that for a while and I noticed it’s not in the carrot link

      Sadly it’s discontinued! It’s a moleskin over shirt from Naked and Famous!

      @@TheIronSnail thanks I appreciate the response, now I know what that style of shirt is called! I just googled “moleskin shirt” and that’s the exact style I was looking for! Thanks again!
