Yup

I just carry a pocket off pre cut snippets.

Which is great until you’ll get into poison ivy and you have to grab that head and slip in a fresh pair of cording


I have been eradicating poison ivy since my formative years working on farms and estates doing chores. I have never gotten infected. This week I got into a forest of poison ivy, I just said FIDO and mowed it down. I walked into a campsite and this little darling kid comes up and starts fondling my weedeater ( the working end) which is completely covered. Grandparents grab the kid ( could not tell if it was a girl or boy). I felt bad and I should have told em to get kid soaped and watered. I went to latrines and washed myself down. Two days later I am still fine and happy! I am talking forests of the crap around here!
