I don’t but will know, great idea, thanks!

 

I like leather gloves and mitten shells. My old deer shells will be my pattern for the new elk ones.

 

Gloves are a must unless your one of those guys that drives his hands into hot gravel all the time.

 

I'm one of those guys and my hands show it.

 

What is something thieves never steal?

 

Anything to work with?😂

 

I wear leather gloves religiously, if there’s any chance of injuring my hands. Gloves in every vehicle, every pack, I probably have a pair in the bathrooms somewhere. I buy the smallest gloves they have and soak them in water and wear them until they dry. After that they fit about as good as leather gloves can fit. But they turn my hands orange for a day or two, so if you have to go to a wedding or something, wait to do the water trick.

 

The doors of my truck have glove pockets and I keep a pair of gloves in each one. They come in handy fairly often. Couple are regular leather work gloves and a couple are insulated leather work gloves. I used to take the insulated ones out in the summer but they make good potholders when we're grilling out at the lake, or when we're camping.

 

Yes gloves are essential. Leather preferred. I own a pair of pigskin gloves from my motorcycle days (20 years ago), that have endured a lot of miles. Still my favorite pair.

Mechanics gloves are in every vehicle and 2 pair in the range bag.

 

I prefer leather so much, but they don't do too well in the trunk in my climate. So I just go through mechanix gloves about once a year. After bandaids, they're my most used item in my GHB.

 

Carrying gloves goes right bong with spare socks. Also good to carry are mechanics surgical gloves, the thicker ones preferably. Several pair take up almost zero space.

 

Your thinking is solid OP! Not all my kits have heavy duty leather work gloves, but every kit has some type of gloves, usually Mechanix types. Most of my larger packs/kits have leather work gloves, they're extremely valuable when you need them...they're basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). And yes, don't neglect both glove liners for colder weather and quality nitrile gloves for dealing with bodily fluids or other materials you don't want on your body, especially if you have any open cuts on your hands.

I don't carry them with me but I do have several pair around my worksites. I should make it a priority to pack a pair. So in your story, did the guy just walk off while you were explaining why you carry gloves? What a moron.

 

Mules everywhere

 

I own multiple pairs of gloves. I use them all the time. I don’t know what I would do without them.

 

I put some steel rings in the bottom of the cuffs like used on keys and I have cheap carabiner on the belts to hook them to me when I'm not wearing them for delicate work.

 

I bought two pair of IronClad‘s in 2009 and the last pair fell apart in 2018, no heavy duty work but general DIY and some regular rope work.

 

I keep gloves in the vehicles, GHB's all the out buildings, in the garage I keep a variety of gloves from heavy canvas to welding gloves.

 

I keep cut and puncture resistant Kevlar liners and Nomex fire resistant aviator's gloves in my kit and two pair of Nitrile exam gloves in a pouch on my belt. Always!

Leather cannot be de-contaminated so it gets expensive to frequently trash them. The Nomex comes off easily and the Nitrile go on easy over the Kevlars, so you don't need to worry about contact with bodily fluids, cuts or needle sticks.

 

Jeebusss !

 

I have them in a bag with basic get home stuff. I also have fingernail clippers, soap, and antidiarrheal for the same reason. Dont need the runs in the woods.good to protect the hands against cuts as well. So easy to get an infection.

 

I wear gloves to cut firewood , anti vibration gloves to cut and cheap work gloves to split and stack . also keep a pair on the seat of my truck to handle my discards at the dump. I have a pair of gloves that go to my elbows for loading the woodstove.

 

same here,life on the back 40 is rough on hands an knees,I have gloves an foam type knee pads (Friskers brand)everywhere,side by side,truck,car,various buildings etc. etc...Plus I always carry/grab a pair just for GP when going to do something.Also carry TP,LOL ya never know,working outdoors is unpredictable at times....

 

I’m a big fan of the deer skin ones. I probably have 5 pair.

 

A pair in my GHB, BOB and all my vehicles (maybe more than one pair). Its one of my top "pick up whenever its a deal" prepper hoard items.

 

I keep a couple pair of chore, hay, fire wood gloves in every building on the place.. Most from garage sales and thrift stores.. As an old guy, I appreciate a good pair of winter gloves..

 

In my vehicles I carry 2 pair of mechanic gloves and a few pair of nitrile gloves in a ziplock. In my computer pack I fly with I have one pair of mechanic gloves and a few pair of nitrile gloves (in a ziplock). Same in my BOBs.

 

Yup, keep gloves and kneepads everywhere, side by side...

When I was young I never wore gloves. Working on farms, putting up hay and straw, cleaning endless stalls. Then I worked construction, digging footers, carrying lumber, block and everything else. I only wore gloves when it was bitter cold and even then it was the cheap brown fabric things that I'd cut the fingers off of. Until they drove me nuts fraying and freezing up...so I'd toss them.

Now, my work isn't so rough. My hands aren't so rough and I get blisters and catch splinters more easily. So, if I'm carrying stuff or cutting firewood or other stuff, I wear gloves. Usually just Mechanix gloves though I have other more rugged or warmer gloves and mittens in case I need them. Also, i have good quality combat/shooting gloves. I use welders gloves for loading the woodstove.

I guess I'm getting soft as I get older.
