Hit 50 nights in my budget sleeping bag before it gave out

I bought this cheap 40-degree bag off Amazon for $45 about two years ago. It held up through maybe 45 trips, mostly car camping in state parks around Ohio. The zipper finally split on night 48, and by night 50 the baffles were toast. Honestly I'm surprised it lasted that long for the price. Anyone else had a budget piece of gear that just wouldn't die?

Funny how the cheap stuff sometimes outlasts the fancy gear, huh?

Wait, you had an actual 20 year old Craftsman socket set still going strong? Those old ones from before the quality drop are almost legendary now. I swear my grandfather's cheap no-name wrenches have survived three moves and two floods while my Snap-On set got that weird rust spot last year.
