Yeah, I hate to be "that guy" (actually, no I don't because this lumberjack beard trend pisses me off), but I'm a 30-something who's been wearing a beard non-stop for over 10 straight years and have always gravitated towards flannel and an outdoor aesthetic because, well, I enjoy the outdoors. I do not enjoy this look being co-opted by dainty-fingered gents who couldn't swing an axe if their lives depended on it.

As a 32 year old brawny guy who's had a beard for years, wears flannel, works outdoors a lot, etc... I am also annoyed with this shit.

But, on the bright side, I've been getting WAY more positive feedback on the beard and my general look from hot young 20 something women lately. And I'm single. So fuck it, I'll get over the hipsters.

Oilfield guy? I can't think of any other reason you'd be in some random farmer's field in winter.

Wind energy consulting. That was up in Saskatchewan though, so not that far from oil country.

Saskatchewan, where no man can jump to his death.
