    2 mighty hunters kill many trophies. Bush pilot fly's in to take them out. Pilot says too much weight, leave some. Hunters say no, old "Ace" bush pilot brought us in, we will just get him. He loaded more than this last year.
    Not liking the comparison, he says, Well hell.. Load it. He took it I sure can.(Thinking, he uses the same plane)
    Load out ,
    struggle to get airborne and a downdraft crashes them. One hunter shakes off the crash shock, looks around and says to the other hunter...
    "Ya know, This looks like the same place Ace crashed us last year."

    My Dad wore overalls and long sleeve khaki shirts, winter and summer usually. Khaki then was quite a bit thicker/heavier weave.
    Shirt be soaking wet with sweat but staved off the heat to body. Winter time, added a blanket lined overall jumper.

    And we had us one of these, almost exact. Handle was wood and more square on the ends, but slotted to slide over the bag seams.
    Hang it on the seat till at field, hang it in a shade tree on the fence line. Work, go get nice cool water. Thing would weep and drip, lose very little,
    Just filled it from the pump that morning.

    Click and edit to see bag..

    Starlink is down for almost 2 hours down. It's really, never down.
