    This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.

    This is so on point.

    So many defenders go, “It helped when I had to haul shit to the dump” or “I bring wood back to build my shed”.

    What about the other 95% of the year? Because I rent a van to move shit and I’m happy taking the bus.

      “It helped when I had to haul shit to the dump” or “I bring wood back to build my shed”.

      the marks of a man scared to learn how to tow a trailer because “i don’t know how to do it”

      Just use a trailer, it’s not that bad.

      Or do what I did and pay cash for a beat up old truck to do those things with. Mine didn’t even have a radio, the heat barely worked, but it hauled hog feed and garbage well enough. And I wasn’t paying a grand a month in a car payment and insurance.
