Those Were the Days

There was an era when a man could be a man, as authentic as his wolf-like nature and instincts would allow, but without being branded as toxic or exploitive. In those days, men and women on the cutting edge of adventure and exploration were admired as icons and role models who inspired others to leave normal behind.

Well, for those who dare, that flame defiantly burns even brighter today despite some of the "norms" that have evolved in society.

This post is not intended to promote Rolex watches although the brand should be admired for their guts back then. It's featured here to exemplify the bold spirit in those driven to live life to the fullest -- not because life is too short -- but because too much of it is wasted. Tom Siatos, then Executive Publisher of Guns & Ammo Magazine, understood this as well as anyone.

All men dream, but not equally. This is for those who make normal nervous and who aspire with commitment to hunt the world over.

And "hats off", Tom! You did your thing.
