JOB TOOLS
Sometimes you need your own tools to get a job in outdoor occupations. Sources for job-specific tools like a McCleod or Pulaski aren't common. And if you don't know what those tools are, you are in deep trouble if you want an outdoor career.
Fortunately many of the outdoor career specialty too catalogs are available online. Most of these companies have been around for decades. Customer service tends to be great!
Once you have the tools located, you may need more data about a job's activities to know whether you need a specific tool for a particular job. NOTE: mention of a product link does not imply endorsement.
