When my high school guidance counselor asked me what I wanted to be......I told him I wanted to be a mountain man. He said that was all well and good, but that most people had to have a real PAYING JOB like banker, lawyer etc. Then they could have a second non-paying job like inventor, or humanitarian just for fun. That way a fella could say he was a DOCTOR -SLASH- HUMANITARIAN.
Now, this guy was a mustache chewer. So I let him gnaw on it while I give it a good think over.
After a bit, he says, "Um.....ahhhh..... does that give you any ideas?"
So I said that it did. And he asks what ideas did it give me.
So I told him,"Would it be ok if I could be a MOUNTAIN MAN - SLASH - FUR TRAPPER?"
He says he did not think a guy could make any real money doing those things.
I had to correct him since he wore a tie and was from the flatlands, so I says, Jeez man! A muskrat pelt will get $3.00 a pelt! Put that in your pipe for real money!"
Anyhow, point is, having trained and outfitted fot the high mountains at the tender age of 13, I can appreciate a knife with a bit of heft.
Bring it.
