Looking for ideas on rain gear for my new Scout. He's currently sub-5 feet, but I anticipate him hitting 6 feet before he's out of Scouts. In the early 90s, we bought East German ponchos at the British surplus stores and used those almost exclusively. They worked well for the English and Welsh climates we Scouted in and our parents didn't have to spend money every year or so. I was thinking of getting him a USGI poncho. Frogg Toggs are about worthless, so I'd like to stay away from them.
I would be qualified and interested, too, if 20 years younger! BS in Environmental Health, Masters in OSH, Certified Industrial Hygienist, 40 years experience and Eagle Scout!...Been retired 8 years now and not looking back! I too appreciate you monitoring the forums and chiming in from time to time. Best of luck in the next phase of your life and may God Bless! Hope you continue to be a member here and give us the benefit of your wisdom!
Thanks for your time at the helm, Richard! I appreciate your coming here to try answer the hard questions and critiques, and understand you often had to navigate tortured waters to try to provide us a coherent response.
Best wishes in your future endeavors.
