Sundog Posted February 11 Posted February 11 You would not want to sit around a campfire with that. Also, wearing that raincoat, there are some places here in Tennessee where you would be shot by some hunter within minutes. 2 Quote

Rip Snorter Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Think thatched roofs, from days when labor was the cheapest thing - nothing to pay out. A nearly opposite paradigm these days. 1 Quote

Do some homework and you'll find that, just like hitler, they perverted religious clothing designs and religious symbols that predated them by hundreds if not thousands of years. 1 1 Quote

A nearly opposite paradigm these days. Thatched roofs aren't common in the U.S., but there are still parts of the world using them. Today's useless fact: I know that in the foothills of Nepal, Gurkha families still use thatched huts and a Gurkha rifleman in the British Army will send money home so that his family can buy a tin roof, which is considered a luxury item. 2 Quote
