These $20 Welding Gloves Will Make You a Campfire Hero
https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2023/06/welding-mitts-scaled.jpg
It never fails. Every time the sun goes down and I pull out my mitts, somebody laughs out loud and asks, “What the hell are those?!” And every time I tell them, they scoff and shake their head. Another non-believer.
It’s OK — I know that before this fire burns down to ash, they will don these dirty old mitts over and over again. And inevitably they’ll admit, “I was wrong. These are awesome!”
I’ve seen it happen enough times to know, this is the way. And truth be told, I really do not recall why I wanted a pair of welding gloves in the first place. I’m not a metal worker, and I can’t say I’d ever used such burly hand protection in the past. All I know is that one year, I received a pair of gloves — this pair — as a gift, and I knew instantly they were destined for the campsite.
Now, I will pass this wisdom, this secret, to you. These $20 mitts will give you more value than your favorite tent, headlamp, or sleeping bag. And they will add more fun to your campouts to boot!
What the Heck Are Welding Gloves?
Before I get too deep into extolling the virtues of welding mitts, you probably need to know what exactly I’m talking about. Welding gloves, aka fire mitts, aka (my favorite) forge gauntlets are heavy-duty hand protection that cover the hands and most of the wearer’s forearm.
They’re designed to protect against extreme heat, electric shock, and ultraviolet and infrared radiation. They have nothing to do with Infinity Stones, though you will be tempted to talk like Thanos while wearing them — and rightly so.
These mitts are most often made from animal hide (nature usually does it best), either cow, pig, deer, or elk. The heavier the hide, the more protective the glove, so cow and elk usually offer the most protection.
Vegan alternatives do exist, though I have not personally tried them and therefore cannot attest to their overall performance. Check out the Vegan Foundry for more information if you’d prefer non-animal-derived alternatives.
For the sake of this tribute, however, I will focus on my cowhide leather gauntlets.
Welding Gloves for the Campsite
Let’s get down to (scorching hot) brass tacks: Why am I so hyped on welding gloves as a camp accessory? The long answer is community, togetherness, and making the most of your precious time outdoors — especially in the company of those you hold dear.
But the short answer is fire. More specifically, the god-like power to bend the ferocity and majesty of fire to your will. To the non-glove-enlightened layperson, I’m talking about picking up white-hot burning logs from a veritable cauldron of fire, and moving them about to stoke the flames to your liking.
Let me paint a picture with which you are all too familiar: Your once-mighty campfire has burned down, and only a single, flickering flame laps at a thick log, charred on one side, but seemingly untouched on the other. If only you could turn the wood and feed those hungry embers, your evening under the stars would stretch on into the night — more drinks, more stories, more time.
So you grab the first branch you can find and start fencing with the log, hoping to coax it over with some combination of pokes and swats. Of course, this inevitably ends in the collapse of the delicate, Jenga-like wood pyramid, immediately snuffing out whatever hope of flame remained, casting everyone around the fire pit into the smokey death throes you’ve wrought.
Sound familiar? If only you had a pair of forearm-length welder’s mitts rated to 932 degrees Fahrenheit, you could have simply grabbed the log, turned it over like a half-cooked hot dog, and won the awe of your campmates.
Believe me, I know — I’ve been that hero many times over.
More Than Just Log-Turners
Moving logs around a hot campfire like pieces on a chessboard has proven the most common use for me. But it is far from these gloves’ only application around the campsite.
Seasoned car campers know that a few nights under the stars doesn’t necessarily mean settling for freeze-dried camp meals. A trusty cast iron skillet or Dutch oven is perfectly suited to meal prep over an open fire. But that sizzlin’ hot skillet isn’t gonna pull itself out of the fire — uh oh, did you forget your trout-shaped oven mitts?
Fire gloves to the rescue! Pick up that piping hot pan with one hand or two, by the handle or cradle it from the glowing red bottom — you’ve got the power!
Plus, these thick mitts offer protection from more than just searing heat. Did your Frisbee land in a cactus patch? Gloves. Good lord, what’s that crawling in the tent?! Gloves. Keys fall in deer scat? Gloves.
In just about any scenario where you want your bare hands protected from things that are too hot, sticky, prickly, or creepy, welder’s gloves come in handy.
When you’re ready to level up your campfire game, you can find OZERO welding gloves — or any other brand — at a variety of independent supply stores, giant box retailers like The Home Depot, and online at Amazon for around $20.
No need to thank me. I’m just your average, everyday campfire hero.

South Korean dude rejects being called racist for hating Little Mermaid: “You keep asking us to watch sh*tty movies”
https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/media-library/why-is-little-mermaid-bombing-in-south-korea.png?id=34131336&width=980
Allow me to admit up front I could be jumping to conclusions. There is a story in the news about a raaaaacist backlash to Disney’s The Little Mermaid. A video of a based South Korean chad is going viral being asked about a raaaaacist backlash to a movie. Perhaps he’s being asked about a raaaaacist backlash to a different movie? If that is the case, allowed me to apologize on behalf of all of us here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website.
Now check out my man here.

That’s nonsense. So you keep asking us to watch the sh*tty movies you make, right? Why do we have to watch them? This has nothing to do with racism, alright? You make a weird movie, and if we don’t watch it because we don’t agree with your agenda, it’s like they’re trying to lecture us, asking "Why don’t you agree?’ But who are they to lecture anyone?"
Hell yeah, brother. You have now become the second most based Asian on all of the Internets. Shout out to #1:
\u201cChina is asshole\u201d— John Henry\u2019s Hammer (@John Henry\u2019s Hammer)

The "Western media" in question could be Western journalisming content creators CNN. They posted a piece of content titled "‘The Little Mermaid’ tanks in China and South Korea amid racist backlash from some viewers." The CNN blogger who created the content points out that while having a black Ariel has been "celebrated elsewhere" (like in America, and in… America), a handful of cherry-picked Asian cinephiles disagree with the casting choice.
In the case of South Korea, CNN cites one single person who expressed disappointment on Instagram.
[The Little Mermaid] brought in just 19.5 million yuan ($2.7 million) in its first five days, compared with 142 million yuan (nearly $20 million) for “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” in the first five days of that film’s opening, according to Chinese box office tracker Endata.
Similar sentiment was found on social media in South Korea. On Instagram, one user wrote that the movie had been “ruined” for them, adding “#NotMyAriel.”
Right. It could be raaaaacist backlash. Or, your movie can get just suck. The Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse movie that has made at least five times more money? The lead character has brown skin and the leading lady may or may not be trans.
There are two things at play here. The first is that Hollywood makes movies counting on the Asian market to make them their money. It’s why John Cena had to cuck himself for saying the word "Taiwan." If a movie doesn’t do well overseas, it’s a global failure.
This brings us to point number two. In the woke progressive hive mind, nothing is ever their fault when normies reject the Left pushing an agenda. It can only be the fault of an -ism or a -phobia. It started with the girl Ghostbuster movie in 2016, which looked like a bucket of sh*t from the first trailer. When moviegoers decided not to spend their money on a bucket of sh*t, filmmakers lashed out at the audience. A single YouTube comment from someone who said "the movie ruined their childhood" was used in the marketing to shame people into seeing the movie if they didn’t want to be labeled an -ist.
If you make movies that don’t look like they suck, people will spend money to go see your movie. This isn’t something that needs to be explained.

Laravel Ecommerce Tutorial: Part 6.3, Editing Products
https://res.cloudinary.com/dwinzyahj/image/upload/v1686431555/by9pmeuxnj9rwdtuxeku.jpg
In the last post, we added the ability to list all products, search with Scout and Spatie Query Builder, the ability to delete products. This part 6.3 of the on building an ecommerce website in Laravel from start to deployment.
In this post we will continue to add the ability to edit products.
Let’s dive in
Head over to Admin\ProductController and edit the edit action and tell laravel to return the edit page
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* @param Product $product
* @return Renderable
*/
public function edit(Product $product)
{
$categories = Category::all();
return view('admin.products.edit', [
'product' => $product,
'categories' => $categories
]);
}
Then let’s edit the admin.products.edit view, the markup will be the same as the create view except this time we pre populate the fields and submit the form to the update action
Add the following snippet to your edit view
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('title')
Edit Product
@endsection
@section('content')
<section class="section">
<div class="section-header">
<div class="section-header-back">

Next, we edit the UpdateProductRequest to add some validation and authorizations to the request before it reaches the controller
Edit the UpdateProductRequest to the following
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class UpdateProductRequest extends FormRequest
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize(): bool
{
return $this->user()->can('update', $this->route('product'));
}
/**
* Prepare input for validation
*
* @return void
*/
protected function prepareForValidation(): void
{
$this->merge([
'track_quantity' =>
$this->has('track_quantity') &&
$this->input('track_quantity') == 'on',
'sell_out_of_stock' =>
$this->has('sell_out_of_stock') &&
$this->input('sell_out_of_stock') == 'on',
]);
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array<string, mixed>
*/
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
'description' => 'required|string',
'sku' =>
'sometimes|nullable|string|unique:products,sku,' .
$this->route('product')->id,
'track_quantity' => 'sometimes|nullable|boolean',
'quantity' => 'required_if:track_quantity,true|nullable|int',
'sell_out_of_stock' => 'required_if:track_quantity,true|boolean',
'category_id' => 'required|int|exists:categories,id',
'price' => 'required|numeric|min:0',
'cost' => 'sometimes|nullable|numeric',
'discounted_price' => 'sometimes|nullable|numeric',
'status' => 'required|string|in:active,draft,review',
'images' => 'sometimes|nullable|array',
'images.*' => 'string',
];
}
}
So on the authorize method we check if the user authorized to update products, we don’t anyone just products if they are not authorized.
The prepareForValidation method simply turns the input checks (“on”) into real booleans and then your everyday validation on the rules method
If validation passes let’s make the actual updating in the Admin\ProdocutController.
Edit the update method and put the following snippet
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* @param UpdateProductRequest $request
* @param Product $product
* @return RedirectResponse
* @throws Exception
*/
public function update(UpdateProductRequest $request, Product $product)
{
$product->update($request->safe()->except(['images']));
collect($request->validated('images'))->each(function ($image) use (
$product,
) {
$product->attachMedia(new File(storage_path('app/' . $image)));
Storage::delete($image);
});
return to_route('admin.products.index')->with(
'success',
'Product was successfully updated',
);
}
First we get the validated fields from the request except the images key and pass that to the update method of the product model
If there were images uploaded with this request we loop through all of them and then attach them to this product
Lastly, we return the user to the products index page with a toast message.
This is all we need to be able to edit products and in the upcoming tutorials we will add the ability to create product variations such as color, size etc
As I was using the products section of the ecommerce website I noticed a few issues if a user doesn’t include optional fields which we will rectify in the next post

Like before, Happy coding!
