Ultra1 that could be exactly it the Eagle is an in-print to us the screamin's a bonus.
Just got back in from an emergency call out brake down it,s 04:30 AM .
Okay the hat wasn't a grate fit "but it did make ya laugh didn't it" it dose me every time I look at it, up in the north on Baffin Island you would take what you were given.
At the time Supplies were once a yr. at the end of May. After that no more, we (I say we meaning my two sisters & folk's) would get a full yr. of food supply in one shot. Ones the ship was gone that was it, cut of till the following May. For Xmas we filled out a Hudson Bay catalog it would go with the ship, come Xmas an Air Force bomber flew over & dropped every thing in by parachute, that was an exciting day first out side contact since May to November.
So the hat fit fine when I went in to Scouts I was growing and in those neck of the woods (as one would say
there are on woods up there on Baffin Island) Scout uniforms were not a priority so you make do with what you got. I lived in a place called pangnurtung in Cumberland sound Baffin Island N.W.T. Canada from late 50's to mid-late 60's.
Scouts was learning survival, hunting, using Eskimo skills igloo building running dog sled up to 14 dogs, seal, whale,
caribou, and yes polar bear huntting and tracking. It was a different way of Eagle Scouts but then it was an extreme way of life and envierment.
You can googal on Pang. it's much bigger now then when I was there, but not a lot of change. I think I've babbled on long enough been up 24hrs now.
The pic is a Inuit kiacking to a whale in Cumberland Sound.
You can take my word for it. I know what a Polar Bear can do and their behaver
NOT NICE
