Flagging comes on rolls with a hollow cardboard center of about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. The roll can start out about 5 inches across, and was usually first placed in the large side pocket of a cruiser's vest. As soon as it was small enough to fit into the breast pocket of the blue workshirts we typically worked in, it was put in there. Button the pocket, let the end hang out the top corner, and it was really handy to just pull the end, spinning the roll in your pocket and pulling off a chunk. Despite the convenience, it always felt a bit odd because it was rotating around my left nipple. (o) (o)
Yes, I know precisely the kind of forest you're talking about. I crave getting back to that climate from the heat of the Texas prairie. I'll trade devil's club for ticks, chiggars, venomous snakes, and 100+ degree days any time! Heck, that's why I'm laid up this month--I had my bunion fixed so I can hike again if I ever get back up there!
