I was in hospital for septic blisters from Bullers once and they had to cut my Jackie Howe off me because over the previous 5 years my chest hairs had grown into it. I had canvas stockman's leggings on and when they cut them off I collapsed onto the ground. I had been wearing them so long they were the only thing holding me up. Tough times.

The last time I used a Mercator my arthritic hands locked around the silly slim handle and when I came out of the bush a week later they had to amputate 3 fingers to get it free.

The problem really gets worse removing ya black singlet [coz ya bride says ,"you isn't getting married in that !!] when you have rubbed goose grease in it to make it waterproof.
