Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A new "Who Remembers?

Waking up at dawn, going fishin' and returning home with a bucket full of fish just before sundown.

Riding our bicycles to the local country store and buying box of 22 ammo for 48 cents we were maybe 10.

Waiting for the lone ranger to come on our black and white TV, we got ABC and NBC. Neighbors half a mile down the road got ONLY CBS so my buddy would come over some nights and we would ride our bikes over there other nights.

Plastic bread bags as boot liners.

"Banned in Boston", was a sales gimmick?

Taking your .22 rifle to school so you could shoot in the basement rifle range after. Wearing your Buck 110 folding hunter to school in plain sight on your belt and nobody called SWAT or even paid any mind to it.

Seems like all I had seen for some time were those black Tupperware things that they roll into the field. Right after I posted that, I went to the store, and there in front of me at the stop sign was a truck with bags of seed corn in the back. How about I amend it to burning empty bags of seed corn in the field?

Pillow cases made from flour sacks. My mother as young girl learned a technique of removing threads from the material to leave a lace like pattern.

Don't see much crocheting anymore either.

The copy of Payten Place", that got secretly passed around.

When television weather guessers would predict plain old rain instead of storms.

That's an old memory. Also remember the "hot" patches that you lit with a match for auto tire tubes.

My FIL was a Pioneer Brand seed dealer for years and retired just a couple of years prior to Pioneer phasing out of bags and into bulk containers.

He has a crappy little propane powered fork lift to move pallets of seed corn around.

Ditches were like a piggy bank. Want a soda? Pick up empties for a trade.

Most of my wife's kitchen towels are crocheted starter chicken feed sacks from my great-grandma. Sadly some have become my gun rags, but there are still plenty of them.

Seed was sorted, not bought....that was for the rich guys.

My mom had crocheted doillies on almost every horizontal surface in the house even th arm rests on the couch.

When young couples got married without spending a fortune on the wedding.

Complaining because the price of a movie went up to $.35

my old buckle boot arctic’s always leaked so we would slide a bread bag over our socks.



I never saw a pair this new when I was a kid, nieces and nephews have good hunting boots cant believe we wore old uninsulated buckle boots with several pairs of socks.

Missed that one.

Heavy petting in play?
