Show us their hats!
I really like this photo, I'm glad you reposted it. After his war service that grin is well-earned and seems very genuine! These folks were indeed the greatest generation. -

That is one great-looking hat, congratulations! Natural is probably my favorite all-around color, and your other color choices really go well with the felt. I hope you get many years of happy use out of it! -

(KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects
I received a Bearpaw as a birthday present when I was a young teenager, and I still have it over 40 years later. An older version with the serial number on the bolster, like yours. They're great knives!- Woodtroll

Fedoras afield
Haha, then you too have earned the right to call them "Hells"! I spent some summers doing forestry research work in the spruce-fir forests of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee while I was working my way through Virginia Tech's wildlife program. Two summers involved running transects at... -

Fedoras afield
That's absolutely beautiful, thank you! And life in the country is much more civilized, in many ways. ;) -
Fedoras afield
You visit some beautiful places. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures by posting your photos! The redbud/serviceberry, mountain laurel, and rhododendron blooms are some of my favorite times to be in the woods. Here in the Virginia mountains, the older folks call rhododendron "laurel"... -
Fedoras afield
Neat place, with great burgers! If I remember correctly they had dollar bills stuck all over the ceiling (for some reason I don't remember now). We stayed a couple nights just across the street in Hotel Charlotte, another neat place if you like old buildings and history. -
Western, anyone?
I like most western hats, but I'm partial to the more moderate-sized ones. That one looks good to me! I'm always amazed to see the hats you start out with, and then what they turn out to be when you're finished with them. Very nice work, as always! -

The sad part is, most tailgaters won't recognize it anyway, so the joke is wasted.- Woodtroll

Wolfbrae Custom Hatters
Nice work on bringing those back to life - they look great! Thanks for sharing these. I wish someone still made a nice mid-brown felt, like the one in the foreground. -

I like taller crowns too, in general, but I think that crown height and deep bash on the top suit you and the hat both very well. That is a sharp hat that looks good on you! -
Show us your photography
Yes, we made it to Redwood National Park! Almost my entire life I had wanted to see "The Big Trees", but living almost completely across the country, it took a while to accomplish. Absolutely beautiful, and one of those places you definitely have to see for yourself. Photos in no way capture the...- Woodtroll

Show us your photography
Beautiful part of the country, thanks for posting! A few years ago my wife and I got to visit California, drive some of the coast, some of the country you have pictured here, and make a short visit to Yosemite. The main goals were to show her the coast and some of the old fire camps I'd been...- Woodtroll

Classic Compass
The Silva Ranger, also known as the Type 15, was the classic forestry compass for years. Introduced about 1950, I think, so I don't know id it's period-correct for you. The older ones had aluminum azimuth rings; the newer ones have black plastic rings. These can be fantastically accurate and...- Woodtroll

The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
A lot of things had changed by the end of that year. I doubt "Lazy Fishing" was on anyone's mind as 1942 approached. Sometimes we don't know how good we've got it, until it's too late. Thanks for the post! -
Ask a question, get an answer
Perhaps this? Mentions the "mirror myth" and "shiny silver dollars"? I only vaguely remember this show - because of my age I would have had to have seen it in reruns at some point. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052474/reviews -
