What products do you have absolute trust in...

#1

Post by MacTech »

Obviously everyone here will say Spyderco, that's a given, but what other products do you have absolute confidence in, knowing they'll *just work*....

for me it's
SureFire flashlights, specifically my 6P and G2, the 6P i will have either the P60 65 lumen lamp or P61 120 lumen lamp in, depending on situation, the G2 has a G&P 3 watt Luxeon LED lamp in it, instead of the stock P60, for longer runtime
my Inova X5 LED flashlight, built like a tank, completely waterproof, able to withstand 3000 pounds of crushing force, 20 hours runtime, the thing's practically indestructible
my Fenix L1 1 watt Luxeon sngle AA flashlight, long runtime on a single AA battery, and a good compromise between flood and throw

Mossberg Model 500 shotgun, built to police-spec and built to take a beating, even though i treat it very nicely

Apple Computer, specifically, my PowerMac G4 Mirror Door tower running 10.4.2 and 10.4.4 (gotta love dual hard drives.... ;) ) i've had this machine running almost 2 years with no crash-induced reboots, OS X is rock-solid stable

my Nikon F4s 35MM SLR, it's *never* failed me, or taken a bad picture
similarly, my Mamiya RB67 Pro S 120 camera, fully mechanical, rock solid reliable, no batteries, no meter, just a bunch of gears, springs, switches and glass....

and, of course, my Spydies....

My Opel station wagon diesel; the parts are cheap compared to other brands and it's "just" a car, nothing more, nothing less.

Ecco shoes

Amstel beer :p :D

"Zware Van Nelle" tobacco; there are much cheaper brands, but they make me cough :(

Cricket lighters; they always work (unlike Bic :( ), are cheap and very slim.

Surefire and Spyderco are the main ones. I rely on each of their products daily and i have never been let down. I also trust H&R, Stevens, and Thompson Center as they all have produced me with the ideal field gun for each circumstance.

I would say I have absolute trust in my Arc'teryx Alpha SV mountaineering jacket. It's protected me on the summit of Mount Washington in the middle of January in 100mph winds, plus everything else I've been able to throw at it while still looking good. I also have absolute trust in my Nigel Dennis Explorer sea-kayak. I know it will rise to any challenge I have to guts to try. Do I even need to mention my Spydies :) ? As corny as it sounds, I also have absolute trust in my partners at work to be there.
