I could be there with an e-tool and a shelter half. The pissoff as a young Marine in 1965 was that you went into the field with a shelter half from WWII that had buttons and your bunky had the shelter half with the snaps. No match, it was raining, and you got wet all night. Maybe as an old fart I'll stay home and wait for more teeth to fall out. |

As long as your socks are dry with no feet problems, your good to go. Marines can't hunt good with trench foot

One time I wore the same socks for two weeks in the field and had a clean pair tied up in my pack. Morning time you tried to dry your feet and you swapped left sock with right sock before you put your jungle boots back on. Now I wear the same socks and drawers for two weeks and my wife gets pissy. Jeez, I even swap the socks every morning now when I climb out of bed. |

These guys don't use 16 oz. hammers anymore. If it don't have a gas powered/compresser for nail guns it doesn't get done anymore. what took 5 guys to do, it now takes 2 guys, and a crane.  http://jeromebrown.zenfolio.com/p818139742/hb846c40#hb846c40 |

I have a 30-year-old B&D electric drill that outperforms any screwgun ever made. I'm no pro but today's carpenters wouldn't make a pimple on an old craftman's wrinkly saggy-ass butt. Before I retired for good I worked for several years as a blue collar cable clown (voice & data) on construction sites in NYC (I climbed out of the cubicle in the early 70s and gave the finger to all paper pushers). The old grey-haired tin knockers, carpenters, and electricians took great pride in their work and made service on their work for years to come simple with their craftmanship. Today's young construction guys are wham-bam get 'er done types - "&*%$ the guy who's coming to work a problem here 25 years from now. My sh!t's in the wall now and I'm outta here!" |
