I'm so happy to have a chance to showcase my new backpack and actually get out and use it today. It leads me to say many things. So what do I look like when I'm out and about and in my usual hiking and Woodsman role? Well, that role is pretty much a lifestyle for me. This picture accurately sums up all of the characteristics you'll find with me. In fact, let's go into a little detail about my usual wardrobe choices. Just about any time in the spring, fall, and winter you'll find me wearing functional wool pants #weatherwool or something similar. Buffalo plaid has always been a favorite of mine and you'll find it scattered throughout my wardrobe. Hats, always wearing a hat. Whether it's a Duluth wool, #askovfinlayson North, my black Amish knit cap, or my newest favorite for the cool temps, an #organicclimbing cap. Then there's my Dollywood handmade hat that my wife got for me, or a lightweight Tilley hat with Brim in the summer. Practically all of these are usa-made products, tilley being made in Canada. Utility. Function. Traditional yet classic that never wears out. Super shout out to my brother @ruthworkssf for this absolutely sick backpack that he custom made for me with all the specs that I wanted. The quality far exceeded anything that I could have dreamed of. To think that a rugged bushcrafter type backpack such as this was crafted in San Francisco on the west coast! Speaks volumes about the variety of characters that we work with each day the potential of each of these Craftsman and builders! Thanks again to Brian and Monica @carsickdesigns for the awesome water bottle pouch that fits perfectly on my backpack belt. The super high quality materials that they use are unbelievable as well and once again, it showcases the level of Craftsmanship that are within easy reach of anyone of us that wants a fine quality item. #garrettwadeax #ruthworkssf #bushcraftpack #bushcrafterlife #bushcrafters #carsickdesigns #weatherproofplaid #outdoorlifestyle #outdoorlife
