I must admit that when I was younger I thought that only a wuss wore gloves. Now that I'm older and wiser, I wear gloves for many, if not most, things. I have them in every vehicle and tractor, in every shape and size from kevlar, through deerskin to triple heavy weight leather. I just got tired of going to the emergency to have wood splinters and shards of metal dug out of my hands and fingers. I can usually do a pretty good job digging them out on my own but sometimes you just need outside help and when you go there, they always want to shoot you full of all kinds of stuff.
In fact, this past Christmas, a friend said he was so tired of seeing me all scratched up all the time, (I was clearing brush and vines at the time), that he gave me some kevlar forearm covers that work great when swinging the chain saw or getting into the thick stuff. No, when the bury me, my body may be all worn and broken but my hands and fingers are going to be as soft as a baby's bottom.
