What sort of Job do you have?

I'm a road salesman. I've driven the West for 15 years. Moving to the NE to cover 9 states starting in March. My hobby is making walking sticks.I go after saplings{Sorry}, with either a bowie, or a folding saw. I then use a good pocket knife, or carving knives to do my bark stripping, etc.Looking forward to finding some hard, and straight wood in the NE. a bit concerned about Lhyme Disease.
Anyone used to traipsing around the NE woods?

Love those BUFFs.:D

They'll still be flying when all the new stuff has been retired.

Seems like I heard that each wing is held on by only four bolts. Of course each of those "bolts" is the size of a coke bottle.

Commodities relocation specialist. AKA- truck driver. I've been driving since 1979, with a brief recess to learn canvas work and upholstery, which I still do on occaision.I bought my first truck 5 years ago, and have never been happier with my job. Should've bought one 15 years ago. I haul anything that I can make stay on the deck, from concrete outhouses to Stryker attack vehicles for Uncle Sugar. I carry two knives, a Buck 3 blade folder in my pocket that I've had since 197?? and I used to wear a Schrade Scrimshaw Sharpfinger. The tip broke off the Schrade, so I'm now using a Puma Buddy, which I love.
Had a guard at Anniston Army Depot tell me my knife was a weapon ( a mere 3" blade), and wanted me to check it in. So, I asked him where he wanted me to check the 10 twenty foot 5/16" chains I had, the 3.5lb cross peen sledge hammer, and the 42" winch bar I had. He seemed somewhat chagrined that I had so many potential weapons available, so he finally grinned and said " Guess just about anything could be a weapon, huh?" And we went about loading the truck.
