New guy, mountain man from Tennessee

[Thumper15]

My name is Jordan, but everybody calls me Thumper. I'm a 27 yr old Marine Corps veteran from East Tennessee. I moved back here after spending 5 years on active duty. I grew up on a homestead style farm and gained and mantain a lot of skills from that, including blacksmithing, woodworking, building log buildings, working draft horses, and lots of other old time skills. That's what drives my interest in hats and older style clothing, as it is simple and works best with my life style. I've included some pictures from life around the farm, I hope you enjoy.
