[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1698593, member: 97414"] It was years ago when I meet up with an older fellow on a cut-line,,, he had the simplest set-up going that brought up the indeed of Less is More... He was well into 60's closing in on the big 7,,, Old worn out wool lumber jack coat and wool pants with binder twine belt to hold them up,,, most of us remember the orange lumber jack suspenders that would button up to the pants,,, Ha,,, he was missing one button so he cut a slot in the seam to push the leather part threw,,, he used a willow stick to run threw the hole to help hold his trousers up,,, deffinatly a bush craft fellow... His back-pack was a canvas tarp sewed into bag,,, 1 old leather belt strap to sling it over his shoulder,,, just enough room for a 8x8 tarp,,, sleeping bag, 1 gallon glass water bottle, tiny cup and coffee pot to make a cup of coffee on the cut-line,,, he called it the Moose and Deer trap as they would come up the cut-line to see what was going on,,, """some""" furry critters are curious that way... Alot of the Moose he harvested happened when he was splitting wood,,, keep your gun at ready he said... Talking about a gun,,, his was a number 4 British Lee-Enfield in 303 with iron sights,,, he could reach out there easy with the old iron... Thin Burlap strap was the sling,,, it had bradded ends so he could sling it over his shoulder,,, pretty crude set-up,,, but it cost him nothing less the pocket of assorted ammo... A old home made skinning knife along with a hand hatchet,,, it kinda matched his large Gray felt brimmed cowboy hat... Rustic set-up fore sure,,, fat chance that I'd ever see my self looking like that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well here I am 40+ years past that encounter as I Sloooooowly transform into that category... Yuppers,,, the simple things in life... Today Im sitting on a cut-line with my old bow and bent arrows,,, only time will tell if the critters yonder up my way to look at this middle dude leaning against a tree,,, they will probilibly show up when I'm fast asleep...
