Just realized my old Stanley thermos outlasted my first marriage

I was loading up for a fishing trip last weekend and grabbed my dad's old Stanley thermos he gave me in 2008. That thing still keeps coffee hot for 12 hours no problem, even after being dropped off a tailgate in Montana. Found a crack in the cup lid where a buddy slammed the truck door on it back in 2011... never leaked though. Anyone else got a beat-up piece of gear that just won't quit?

Oh man that thermos sounds like a trooper. My mom gave me her old Coleman cooler that she bought in the 80s, thing has a huge crack on the side and the latch is held together with duct tape but I swear it keeps ice frozen for 3 days straight. Got a scar on my thumb from when it pinched me in 2015 but I still use it every camping trip.

Ha, that scar makes it official family heirloom status now. I bet future generations will be arguing over who gets the cursed cooler in the will.
