The thing that absolutely shocks me are the people that cannot sharpen a knife or keep a sharp one going, and people that work with knives are just as bad at it as the general populace. I have made damn sure my daughter can use a steel and maintain a blade...and it is amusing when my seventeen year old lass gets home and fumes about all the dills that can't sharpen or maintain knives where she works. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Practice: Capt. Captain, sir, I've got a question. After a few daze of walkin' around in the bush, I smell bad. Is there anything I can do? Capt. Captain: Yes Private, there is. You can... Pvt. Practice: Oh boy! Finally a solution to a problem I've been having since before puberty. You, bein' smart and educated and stuff, can help me get back in good with my former friends, who, after huntin' with me for a day or so, all said the same thing. "Phew! You smell like a polecat that fell into a septic tank!" Capt. Captain: I see... Pvt. Practice: You reek like a soft coyote turd on a hot, humid day... Capt. Captain: I see... Pvt. Practice: You stink like tent full of Muzzies with the trots... Capt. Captain: Shut up! Pvt. Practice: Sorry. I'm just so excited! Capt. Captain, sir. You are my idol... Capt. Captain:: Naturally. Pvt. Practice: But I am my ideal... --- Join us again next week when Capt. Captain says, "Always leave the woods cleaner than when you got there! Did you remember to bring the oak laminate, private? We have to refinish the forest floor!" And Private Practice responds, "What's wrong with pine, sir? It's cheaper!" Safe Shooting!

Sky blue camo. Our shooting sticks were made of natural woods, not some gee whiz plastic. No fancy goo-gaw guthook multi-bladed knives, a regular straight edge, fixed blade knife was all you needed. We caught our own worms for fishing, no cheating by going to the bait store. But mostly men were tough, and women were tough, too. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
