Everything you need to know about Outlaw you can learn in ‘8 days in May’. On the 6th he overturned his camping trailer, linked
here. On the 14th he had a new one, linked
here.
Typical haul: Norlund hatchet (his 3rd!) with leather blade cap, vintage bait holder, Wagner Magnalight pots and pans, a copper scuttle, a green telephone pole insulator, a Versa Vise, a stainless steel “garbage can”, a toy cannon, a ceramic figurine that he thought was a snow man but was a clown (for SWMBO, who hates clowns! HAHA) and a brass pig:

HOST’S TAKE:
Because of all the sandpaper and the hooks and the cans of thinner, it’s perilously easy to mischaracterize Outlaw as a “Practicalist.” Nearly every haul always has something useful (whether garage, kitchen, or camp related), but a lot of hauls also have something artsy or craftsy or musical, and something collectible. He is an equal opportunity vacuum cleaner and the epitome of consistent. He is a Garage Sailor’s Garage Sailor, with an eye as sharp for slices of agate, a placarded water main pipe cross-section sample, and a Johnny Cash guitar shaped patch as a Long C soldering kit and a NOS leather Crowntop toolbag. He has had some big years here. I can’t remember a bigger one.
