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?

A titanium spork (specifically the Snow Peak one) is, in my opinion, the best utensil you will ever use. It's a perfect balance between a spoon and fork, and just works so well.

It will last ten lifetimes, I'm sure.

Been using mine since 2016, multiple times a day, and it still looks brand new.

Also, a good-quality chromoly steel frame bike should last a lifetime. I've got one that's 30+ years old and still hauls 60lbs of groceries at a time. LOL
