Gentlemint is a place to find and share manly things.

How come we only find out about great men like this after they die?

How come we only find out about great men like this after they die?

Imagine the choices this guy had to make during his run. So many "men" are now more concerned with purchasing a $600 dollar all leather hand tooled man satchel than being the best man they can be. If I see another trendy wooden bow tie post or bullshit "camping" gear post, I will be done with this site.

Agreed. How about some more "bacon" posts?

Can we have two Gentlemint sites? One for true man stuff, and one with links to the best skin tight $300 pair of blue jeans or hipster glasses made out of teak.

While this gets debated, I am going clean my new pistol [U.S. Firearm single action artillery model in .45 LC] while drinking scotch straight, smoking a cigar and watching Rio Bravo...like a guy.

We find out about great men after they die because when they're alive they don't think of what they do as "great". They do what they do because it's what they do. No fanfare. No attention. It's what they do. Only when someone else brings it to light do we really know who the great men are because great men don't bring attention to themselves.

Thanks for the post. What an amazing man. I bet he had a $600 leather satchel, though...
