inMy brand new sleeping pad got a slow leak on its first trip, right in the middle of a cold snap in the Adirondacks.
Oh man, that is just the perfect kind of camping luck. Nothing like a brand new piece of gear deciding to quit on you when it's freezing out. At least it waited until you were already out there to start its little air diet. Hope you had a good patch kit, or a lot of leaves to pile up under you.

inUsed to break down pork shoulders with a cleaver, now I use a boning knife and follow the seams. My prep time dropped from 15 minutes to 5.
But a shortcut can be the right thing. Like using a calculator instead of doing long division by hand. That's not lazy, it's smart. You free up time to work on the actual problem. Hard work matters, but working hard on pointless steps just wastes effort.

inI thought upcycling denim was just a trend until I made a jacket from old jeans
Honestly, I've tried a couple times and mine always end up looking super homemade in a bad way. Tbh I think you just got lucky with a good tutorial.

inJust saw a video where Tuffy Stone explained his brisket trimming philosophy
Sounds like your buddy went too far. Gotta know where to stop trimming. The sweet spot is getting the big chunks of fat without cutting into the good meat. Takes a little practice to see the line.

inI used to forge my tongs from scratch every time, now I just modify cheap ones from the hardware store
Seems like a great way to ruin a good wrench.
