Too late mang... the exodus has started...

Gary

I heard this today as I was entering, and they were exiting, Sunbirds in Chehalis.

"Let's get out of this hillbilly town." Perhaps they were going to return south?


For those of you unfamiliar with Chehalis, Sunbirds is a store where you can buy lots of stuff from rigging clothes to canning supplies. It is my favorite store in Chehalis.

Name, Schmame! Don't buy it 'cause what it's called! Wear some scented hair tonic and call it 'Skull Bouquet!'

Like calling a SKILL saw a STIHL saw?

I think, though I am not sure, that the Skullbucket was made in the USA but the Bailey's hat is made in Communist China.

Oh no, sir. You're not sending me anything yet. I just pulled some strings, but I can't 100% quarantee that I'm going to get the deal done. I'll give it my best shot for sure.

I'll contact you Bill when I see some progress.

What size shirt do you wear? I have to send you a local t-shirt too.

 

[2dogs]

Puts this picture in my head of you dropping your pants too on a super scary tree.:msp_scared:
Make it stop.

No no no. I just take off my chaps. The pants stay on. Now go wash your eyes out with soap. Or sand.

Thanks 2dogs: That article makes it clear that these are not imitations, but stock remaining from original production. Made in U.S.A. ? I can't wait to see.

ShaneLogs; you did help. You sound like an honest clean-cut young man with a lot of potential. Keep posting brother.

I have Stihl chaps and they work great! A little pricey but they are great! I use my Stihl Lumberjack system helmet also when I am in the woods because of the ear muffs and stuff. If I am in thick old growth or 2nd growth wood I wear my signed Rygaard Aluminum hardhat Its is awesome and has everyone who works for Rygaard's signature on it!

Great Post Shane.

Don't have time to read all this, but.......helmets are for bicycles.....hard hats are for timber fallers.

What about climbers? 'Hard hats' or 'helmets'?

Not sure there, kind of like calling a rifle a gun or a fly rod a fishing pole......just ain't right.
I wear a hard hat. Kind of identifies a green guy when they talk about their helmet.

My background is in firefighting. We never called a helmet a hat. Guess that makes me and thousands of others "green".

Better let the Germans know they are "green" too.

Swedes too.

I worked with guys who did not want to wash their wildland PPE or their bunker gear because they did not want to look like a new hire. I had to threaten disciplinary action to get these guys to wash their gear.

I think Germans and Swedes wouldn't really get that, because in those languages there's no consept of 'hard hat'. Any hard bowl like object worn in the head for protective means is a helmet - 'hjälm' in Swedish and 'helm' in German.

Finnish language makes no distinctions either. Bicyclists, firemen, loggers, hockey players - they all are wearing a 'kypärä'. The only specified name I have ran into here was in the army. There a combat helmet is called 'potta' - a potty in English.

 

[2dogs]

Well American English is a Germanic language so I guess we need to reverse engineer a few words back to the old country. Hey what about The Netherlands? They had an Olympic women's softball team, what did they call their caps?

A potty? As in toilet? Or maybe just a pot, like a cooking pot?

Potty as in toilet. The military lingo is kinda salty. A combat simulation, where wearing a helmet is obligatory, is not 'potty training', though.

I don't speak Dutch, nor Friesian, so I have no idea what they call their softball caps.
