this knife wouldn’t
cut through
hot
butter!
it’s covered with
rust and the edge
is dull!
it needs a good,
healthy dose of
preventive
maintenance.
what
mean
pre-
vhen-tive
mane-ten-
ants?
that’s
what
I thought.
this backpack
hasn’t been
inspected for
a while. the
bottom has
given out.
that happen
all the time.
jimmy make
new
one.
that’s not the point,
jimmy. that backpack
would last a lot
longer if you gave it
a little pm.
what
you
mean?
the back pack
should be
inspected
regularly.
pay special
attention to the
bottom because
it takes most
of the weight
you’re carrying.
if it begins to
look weak or
damaged,
patch it.
next, look at the
seams.
if they’re
coming unravelled or
frayed, replace them.
The leather stitching
you use can dry-rot
and snap… usually
at the
worst
possible time.
really? but me
use leather
stitches to make
loincloth, too…
pm. it’s the vital
work necessary to
keep your equipment
working properly.
your
knife,
for instance. it
needs to be sharpened and
cleaned after use. a few
drops of oil on the blade
will help
keep away
rust.
uh… jimmy…
your back pack
looks like it
has a little
problem.
let’s take
a look at it.
me have
coconut
oil back
at tree
house. I
try that.
there
those
words
again.
