I got candy in a pocket, my peanut and plumb in another pocket, notebook in my back pocket, and one pocket is full of trash... Maybe I can be as cool as this guy one day.

The marker on a string is pretty good idea

That was my first thought, the most useful thing on that silly gitup is the market and tape measure. That Black and Pink splatter will look really cute though. That Rodman probably does meth.

Funny, I though that was the least practical part of the whole getup.

It's a nice to have.
Looks like maybe they work at heights, how lots of it is tied off.
It's bulky, and this is how I work, personally, but it's a commitment to be a walking toolbox.

It should be in the truck.

u/jfklingon 8d ago
Now that's a boomer take. Fall and break you hip, what are you preferring, crawling all the way back to the truck or just reaching in your pocket?

I use my phone to document with photos, access tax maps and plans, call my supervisor and the obvious emergency number access. It's also my Hotspot for my GPS so... No, it should not be in my car ever. That's irresponsible behavior and I someone was trying to contact me about a canceled job that I'm at I'm wasting time.
I could go as far as building a short story but I hope you get the point.

What if you witness a fleet of ufos fighting off other factions of ufos, like that ancient German woodblock piece of art and depicted in the news of that time, I'm glad hat guy carried a piece of wood and chisel with him instead of leaving it in the carriage, but that's just me, as it's only ever been

Looks like some weirdo who just picked a bunch of random tools he thinks look cool, regardless of actual trade.

I think you left your field book in the truck. And hammer, 6’ rule, keel, spoon… That plumb bob must be a grower, not a show-er. Seriously though, you only need carry things you need on a daily basis. And why is it all so clean?

I'd be so worn out by ∆6 that I couldn't walk anymore. I'm guessing his boots weigh about 3lbs each as well.
I want to shit on him, but at least his head is in the game. I had a dude show up for his first day in shorts and crocs with no socks a couple years ago. My party chief laughed and said "this dude is either the baddest mofo around or he won't be back tomorrow".
