I don't know if calluses are good but they are definitely a sign. :thumbsup:
I recall my first day as a logger at 16 years old. I brought no gloves. Of course, being the newby, I got all the jobs the pros relegated to the newbys. One of which was unhitching hitches. At lunch time, I just looked at my bloody pulp hands which were now like hamburger. Wire rope or cabling is like handling thorn bushes. One of the veterans came over and handed me a new pair of cotton gloves saying "these will absorb the blood" He then said "you in school kid"? I stated back "yeah" upon which he said "I see schools are making kids stupider and stupider". I have worn gloves ever since and I don't know why which was more important to me then; not to look stupid or to protect my hands.
