I remember when:

[F250]

My first new truck: 1977 F 150. Loaded. Black with red pin stripes. Cloth seats, carpeting. An absolute panty dropper !! $5400.00

We had a war hero for President and a movie was made of his heroic story later.

I remember getting out of my truck to put it in 4 wheel drive.

I remember when nobody needed emotional support water bottles and nobody seemed to die from dehydration.

 

[Schutzhund]

5 pages and nobody had to walk uphill to and from school both ways?

 

[Southern Elk]

I remember hunting with 3 wheelers, instead of 4 wheelers. That Honda 250 was a lot of fun.

The truth. I didn’t eat snacks or drink water during school. We had water fountains if you needed a drink between classes!

Not that being hydrated is a bad thing, but everyone and their brother carrying water bottles is a marketing wet dream.

3 wheelers ripping around my buddies hog and corn farm. 10 year olds and no helmets!

I remember when first base was a home run.

...in a 66 Mustang.

89' old enough to know better but drunk as a skunk...racing around at 2am on a January full moon , some ranch half way down Paradise Valley, rolled it and only broke a few toes.

My wife looked at me like I had committed a crime when I sent my son to preschool with a Gatorade bottle full of water.

Glad only the toes took a hit and your still posting!

No kidding.
One of the lucky ones to make it through the crazy( dumb) years. Many didnt.

I remember when HuntTalk was about hunting stories and hunting related topics.

I remember when a crazy dude from Idaho ran it…… there was plenty of non-hunting stuff, lots of dust ups, whitty banter, but thicker skin and no hurt-feeling police. Miss those days.

I remember my mother packing a couple lunches for me and my friend, driving us to the hardware store for a couple boxes of 22 shells, and then driving us about ten miles out of town and dropping us off. we wouldn't get back until sundown, out of shells every time.

This! Pretty standard practice when I was a kid, me and my best bud who lived on a ranch 8 miles south, would take off hiking Saturday am towards each other. We’d be gone in the hills all day. No gps, no phones, no worry if we were trespassing. Just living the best life a young guy could. Fishing, shooting, once we got old enough-hunting. Sucks that kids now will never know that.

 

[jmcd]

Simple rifles. Simple bullets. And they worked. mtmuley

No kidding! I didn’t know I needed anything but a .270 till I was 30!

 

[jmcd]

The only camo we had was military surplus. Jeans and flannel before that.

Yes!
My first “real” hunting pack was an Alice pack from Army Navy.

You got off easy! All of our neighbor’s kids broke their legs on those things.

I know.
Never rode a three wheeler again.
Getting pinned between sage brush and cow chit at 2 am on a below zero night 40 miles from a clinic got the message through.

 

[Simeod]

Sleeping wrong was something old people said, not something I do.

 

[Sawtooth]

I remember as a high schooler, using the name "Buck Down" for my collect call to my parents from the country market on the way home from hunting. That way they would know I would be late getting home and I wouldn't have to pay the long distance charges at the phone booth.
