In my last very brief post I mentioned I went on my first search. I had a couple of items that worked really well, my Brunton Sighting Compass (54LU), Danner boots, 5.11 Tactical Pants and my SOG Machete. But at the end of the day the best thing I had on me was my leather gloves. Seriously, just plain old leather gloves. Without gloves you may ask ourself, “do I really want to grab that?” or “do I really want to jump into those blackberries?” Thick gloves removes all that.
I have some Blackhawk aviators on order from lapolicegear.com but its hard to imagine them being that much better than these cheap ass gardening gloves.
