Along with men who wear shorts and don't carry a pocket knife, I wonder about men who don't drive a pickup with a few bullets scattered around in the cab.

Lol few? I was gonna try to cross the border heading south. My friend in Coutts had one look in my truck and said I'd have better luck driving north and south then north again until I got to your south border. Don't know what kind of ammo your looking for but it's more than likely in my truck. I guarantee you won't find shorts or man bun in there though.

There is usually a full coffee cups worth of loose random ammo picked up when we clean out MY WIFES van. My truck has random ammo nit not as much loose its mostly in partial boxes.

I would never know how tonactnif I had a vehicle without the rattle of .22 brass in the defroster vents.

Not really a bias but I wonder about anyone who doesn't have a blade on them at all times. If I'm not flat on my back in bed in my scivvies I've got at least four blades and three lighters on me plus a multitool.
I know I carry it to far but dang to not have at least one is just irresponsible.

It's like the first rule of a gunfight, have a gun.

I always carry one of good quality and use it all the time. On any given day that I am desk bound at work staring at a computer, be it boredom or working on a solution to a problem it finds its way into my hand. Kind of like one of those stress balls or other gadgets that people fiddle with. I like the feel of a well made knife.

A woman smoking, a woman drinking beer out of a bottle. The smoking I just find disgusting, the beer in a bottle I can't quite explain, but it just strikes me wrong.

I'm not so sure about that one. You mustn't know any Australian or South African outdoorsmen. One of the toughest trappers I ever knew was a guy from New Zealand who trapped a 150 mile trapline in the wilderness of British Columbia...on foot.
I never saw him wear anything but shorts during the off season. Bedo Hobbs; I'm sure a couple of guys on here knew him.

White oakleys, ball caps on backwards and pants worn below your (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) need not apply. Same as shorts, those pants that people wear that end between the knee cap and ankle, man buns. 4 guys in a lifted truck seeking hunting permission. There is many more but these individual things or a combo of one or more form my personal bias. Predominantly these all appear to be liberal traits so to make a long story short. Any thing that a rational person would be lead to beleive is a liberal trait I have a extreme personal bias against.

Some quite opinionated folks here. I'll agree with man buns I don't get it but whatever. As far as wearing shorts I'll be in shorts most of the time from May to October when not at work. I will wear them at work too depending on the weather. Primary job is a trailer spotter and I work in the warehouse some as well. I don't cary a knife anymore and haven't for years since I haven't worked at the co-op. I carry a utility knife at work in the warehouse to open pallets and cut tape. There's one in a couple of the trucks and there's a need occasionally.

Basically I'm biased against progressive and most liberal view points. Ironically when I see man buns and pony tails on men unless I know them I think they're a liberal. Same as looking at a lot of middle aged or young people that don't want to work overtime or put in any extra effort at work. I think they're a liberal that wants me to pay for their kids and other expenses. May not be right but in many cases of is. I've also developed a distrust of a lot of folks from big cities. I think most are liberal snobs even though some aren't.

I also get ticked about people that leave shopping carts out in the lot and don't put an item back after they decided not to buy it especially a refrigerated or frozen item. It screams laziness to me. Same as people that take up 2 parking spots, straighten out your vehicle or park farther away from the store and walk your lazy arse to the door.
There's more but I'm getting ticked so I'll stop.

The world I grew up in, men wore pants and boots. Shorts look as out of place to me as man buns.

I dont like any rude behavior. People who dont use turn signals. People that pass then slow me down to turn. people who damage my vehicle in a parking lot and just leave. People who speed up when I signal a lane change

Most of the time people who do that dont drive pickups, they often do have man buns, or shorts or both. More often its women who do those things.

LOL, there are exceptions to everything, but it was personal bias that was asked for and of course these are generalizations from past experiences, but one thing I learned from TV....Jethro Gibbs rules, "Never go out without a knife.".. grin

Who's to argue with Gibbs? cool

Since it is the season - Hunters who long-arm their deer, pull the ears back, and strategically position the camera to make the rack look bigger than it is.
Hunters who complain about other hunters' legal method of harvesting - (bowhunters complain about rifle, compound complain about crossbow etc.)
It's probably shallow of me, but yes I think a little less of those who do these things.
On the other hand, show me someone hunting with a longbow and they achieve hero status in my mind. So, yes, I have personal biases.

I wonder what percentage of Congressional Medal of Honor winners always carried pocket knives with them...?

With that said, there are a number of knives in my various work spaces, seen and unseen, and few of them are pocket knives...

P.S. If I was going to encounter and go up against a bad guy, I'd rather have a 12 gauge with goose shot but that's my personal bias.

Let me check:
A large multi tool on my belt
Pick-up key with keys to fit 4 different locks in left front
Right front has a 2 1/2" Gerber lock blade, 2" adjustable end wrench, small flashlight, bic lighter (don't smoke), lip balm.
Left rear has a snot rag
Right rear has a thin pair of gloves

All of the above gets used every day and saves me many steps. Try farming or ranching and you will start carrying crap.

Barrel stickers. Not much worse than sliding into the duck blind and seeing barrel stickers on his gun.

I have a pocket knife that I carry with me. As a Christmas gifts, I have given my grandchildren each a pocket knife.

Two of them are young enough they can't carry in school. Thier mother doesn't like it either that they have a knife.

I don't remember if their dad carries one or not. I have to check=.
