In the "corn, drive ungutted deer to the processor" capital of America", we don't sit on our ass all day whittling on a cedar stick. We also don't like getting all bloody before driving to the processor. That's what we pay them for.
And that's why we don't need two knives

Worked with a fella one time who would bitch about jeans and carharts like they were the most uncomfortable, restrictive things ever. He kept a wad of keys the size of a baseball in his front pocket.
it really is sloppy looking, but they design shirts these days to be worn untucked.. I mean shit
find another place put it for all I care.. I will not condone looking disheveled, sloppy society be damned. I will die on that hill
I'm happy to see fanny packs are getting rarer..
In physiology class at USCSOM, a particularly poignant statement from the prof really hit hard and has stuck with me; we were discussing circulation, and he stated that "way back when, the evil people that crucified Christ understood that crucifixion would slowly cause asphyxiation and a horrible, slow, miserable, and certain death. Defined, asphyxiation is the process of being deprived of oxygen, which can result in unconsciousness or death; suffocation. Being upright and unable to use the leg muscles in a normal manner, which facilitates venous blood return to the heart against gravity, cardiac preload drops to the point that compromises cardiac output and eventually overwhelms the body's ability to increase BP by constricting arteries and increasing HR. The body is deprived of oxygen and CO2 isn't eliminated, and death will come.
This was approximately the same time frame that one of the guys that went up to our Ohio hunting camp was an RN taking care of a guy who fell from his stand in a HSS vest/full body harness and could not get back on his platform. He had both of his legs amputated after suffering bilateral lower extremity compartment syndrome and eventually died. I had a controlled descent vest within a week after that.
So yes, if the harness cut the blood return from his legs and he passed out and did not rectify the situation by standing on a platform and relieving the pressure, he would have eventually died the same way Christ did, albeit via a different mechanism. There will be and obviously needs to be some investigation into this death, because if this was a commercially manufactured product specifically for hunting, there is no way that this should have happened no matter how obese the guy was...unless he didn't have a means to shift, stand, and relieve pressure. These things are designed to sit in and hold your weight while being comfortable enough to sit all day, and I seriously doubt that he was the first obese hunter to use a saddle and I'll go out on a limb and say he likely wasn't the heaviest either.
I've got a new saddle system in boxes in the garage that I have not gotten around to fiddling with yet, but this is sure going to encourage me to carefully read all the instructions and warnings and get it fitting properly in the yard prior to heading into a hunting situation with it. I hate it for the ol boy...awful way to go.
“I can’t wait ‘till I’m grown” is the stupidest @!#* I ever said!
