It's because I have been an outdoor person since I was a kid. I used to hunt everything from deer to Quail. I would bring my buddies to hunt with me and I always wore shorts. Hunting for Quail in the Chaparral and heavy brush would cut my legs up pretty good. They actually looked worse than they were. My legs don't look much better when I fish for Trout in the Sierras. I was always one of those guys who got on his hands and knees and snuck up to the creeks so the fish wouldn't see me. My friends would always tell me if I didn't come back with blood on my legs, we didn't work hard enough. The jokes from my buddies have continued since we now hike together.
