(!buyitforlife)

So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

    Nah, a scythe is not tedious. I mean, if you consider it a chore, sure, then it is. Everything is.

    But once you got a proper rhythm and a smooth motion, it’s really a relaxing, meditative thing. Also great workout: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OeMxwt6MC3Y

    Beats sitting on a screaming hell machine by a long stretch.

    But here you’d also want to get a handmade fitted one, not the one from home depot. In Central Europe that’s not too hard, don’t know about US for example.

    Manual lawnmowers only work for lawn though, anything high and/or weedy they can’t do.

      sometimes I wonder how people go to gyms with all kinds of random manual labor tasks that are available
