US Army 1LT Kingston M. Winget proving you can look good in the field. A perfect example of fashion meeting function. Note the wool scarf (available at an Army Surplus near you). Feb., 1951.
This Field guide, unlike many others, is not written by your Scoutmaster or Commanding Officer, but by men just like you, right in the thick of it, hunkered down in the trenches of modern American life. Therefore, we fully intend to learn and to grow as we continue on in exploring the outdoors, music, art, poetry, fashion, writ, smokes, drinks, ect. ect. Mankind, in an effort to civilize the savage, has civilized himself out of all things physical, and tangible, thus prompting amnesia to the burn of an open flame, the taste of blood, the smell of wet wool, the smoke of tobacco, and all spiritual associations therewith. This, coupled with a society of consumption over durability, has caused a backlash to what has become a throwaway human, or, as we like to say: 'The Modular Man'. This Gazette intends to fully explore the areas of the civilized savage, and bring to light all things the New American Man may have forgotten in his daily dealings with this increasingly transient world.
