Suspenders-

[hammerlogging]

I spent about 2 months on the Cut Bank side of between Browning and Cut Bank.

Browning, thats about as Res as it gets.

OK - in another thread, someone was making a distinction between "loggers' suspenders" and "fallers' suspenders", suggesting that someone was pretentious for wearing the wrong kind. Can anyone describe how these are different?

Thanks

Philbert

The fallers suspenders have buckles, and little hardware to clip accessories, whistle, pencil, whatever. Only the fallers have do dads that might need to be clipped, so if you're not a faller, you don't need em.

But, I haven't found much trouble wearing the regular suspenders for falling, its just the vice versa thing.

I think Gologit is the one who pointed out the faux... um I dont speak or spell French. Anyhow,

I know, going through there makes you feel like you took a wrong turn somewhere and wound up in mid-1980's Lebanon

The only place I've seen worse was Africa Town, its outside or maybe technically part of Mobile, AL. That last slave ship to come to the US arrived just after the civil war ended, so they just dropped the passengers (cargo) off and said goodbye. The folks wandered up a ways and settled. Not a lot has changed since, except that there's a bunch of burnt out public housing and crack heads and drunks stumbling down the middle of the streets. Its the most 3rd world place I've seen in this country.

You got outta that place alive?
Damn man, good on ya, that's about like bein a paleface and hangin out in Ugg's in Browning

Ha Ha! Not only got out alive but went back many times. Used to take all my new girlfriends there early on just to make sure they could keep up with me. Those were the days and I've got some great tales to tell about that place. Usually stopped there while on photographic trips to the east side of Glacier Park. Now it's a big fancy steak place that customers fly in from NYC and LA to eat at. Ran into the owner the last time the wife and I visited and he and I reminisced about the "good old days".:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Hey Bob, Ol Whitefish is our equivalent of your LA or San Fran. . . Ain't many good folks left up there -- they been run off by carrot eating, bunny hugging, sweater wearin', grubby hippies.

Kalispell ain't the same as 30 years ago, but it still ain't no Whitefish. Also, don't admit you have a friend up Pinkham Creek, or Hungry Horse.

Here's a link to what Nate is referring to about Whitefish, Montana. These guys don't wear suspenders...

Billionaires bulldoze Montana

Old info but even more true today.

Billionaires bulldoze Montana

Old info but even more true today.

``Montanans are afraid to death that little towns are going to become like Aspen or Vail, where the billionaires chase out the millionaires, and employees have to live 45 or 50 miles away to drive to work,'' says Wes Spiker, a spokesman for Stock Farm, which provides housing for some employees. ``That won't ever happen because people come to Montana for what Montana is. They don't want to change it.''

*cough* bull#### *cough*

Key riggin pants, with Wright Y back suspenders......you never wear a belt with riggin pants.....and never never wear a belt and suspenders! I work with a guy who does that.....I think he rocks a plastic 'cap' hardhat too....

What would you trade for a case of busch light from Cut Bank?

Not entirely true. I wore suspenders and a belt for my talkie tooter for 30 years. Then they came out with motorized carriages and I had to wear two belts with my suspenders. X backs.
Now I'm back to just suspenders.

 

[LoggingEngineer]

You're right....and we wear belts with gear and machetes on them....but loose and not in the loops, not tight like these guys trying to keep pants on with a belt

So are these fellas fellers?

You don't wanna call a faller a feller. But them other fellers, you can call them whatever you want to.

Those things don't have oilers; they don't run long enough or fast enough to need one.

As it should be!

You're either a faller or you ain't!

Forgive me, fella. Philbert's fault for framing a 'faller' as a 'feller'. I forgot.

(Now what kind of braces are they wearing?)
