I remember when:

[Doublecluck]

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.

Wait wasn’t the cow shit frozen? How is this a problem?

Wait wasn’t the cow shit frozen? How is this a problem?

Yes, of course.
Amazing how fast it develops a slurry when your face is on it.
You had to be there to believe.

 

[Aperventure]

Using a credit card meant hearing “schtunk. Schtunk” and carbon copy.

 

[Outlaw99]

 

[Bigjay73]

...in a 66 Mustang.

 

[Caseknife]

I remember hearing sonic booms from jets rather frequently.
I remember my first computer a Rainbow, damn near had to program it.
I remember party lines.
I remember hiding behind the sofa when the Wicked Witch made an appearance in black and white Wizard of Oz.
I remember loving the smell of sweat, wood smoke and dead elk that my dad emitted after coming home from two weeks in elk/deer camp.
I remember what Mt St Helens looked like prior to that Sunday morning in May.
I remember when fire lookouts were manned and not used as rentals.
I remember when thongs were something you wore on your feet in the summer.
and the list goes on........

Doesn't seem that long ago!

I remember my mom sending with $.50 to the store about 2 miles away when I was 7-8. I simply walked in and said "it's for my mom", no questions.

 

[nidahunter]

The days when half the teachers at high school came out to the parking lot to check out some kids new rifle in the back window of his truck, and it was to wish him luck hunting, not to have him arrested.

 

[duckhunt]

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

I learned on a 76 f 150 3 on the tree.

 

[Addicting]

When there was no such thing as a printer. If you wanted a copy it was a carbon copy.

 

[tillicant]

I remember using the headlight dimmer switch stepping on it on the floorboard.

And having to reach down and pull it back up once rusted from the salt.

 

[tillicant]

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

Hense: Fireside

 

[tillicant]

When people didn’t wear pajamas everywhere and prioritized their health.

Lol, Yesterday(Sat), after hiking with the wife, got home around 4, took a shower & put on the pajama bottoms/sweatshirt.
Wife laughed at me.
I said "at least I'm not going to Walmart"

 

[Wildabeest]

I remember hiding behind the sofa when the Wicked Witch made an appearance in black and white Wizard of Oz.

Monkeys still freak me out to this day!

 

[TheTone]

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

We never had three wheelers but our first four wheeler was a Honda 125 with front suspension only. I remember my grandpa getting a Yamaha 250 and us thinking it was absolutely huge

 

[Potsie]

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

I’ve still got the scare from rolling one, lucky that barb wire fence was there to stop me.

 

[Papsqueeg]

I remember every sat a gang of about 5 of use would walk down the streets to go hunting shotguns fully displayed and no one ever said anything we all were in our teens. Took a black powder gun in shop class and built for a project mid 70s. Mom and pops stores on every corner.

 

[hank4elk]

$.10 phone calls, pay phones everywhere.
$.07lb chicken,$.15 burger.
Odd to see a chunky kid at the beach,anywhere.
Fruit stands. Neighborhood butchers.

 

[Caseknife]

I remember printing stuff off for my mom who was a school teacher on a mimeograph.

I remember when our "influencers" were our mentors, fathers, uncles, grandfathers, mothers etc, not some unknown dude on the internet.
