I'll be 64 next week, so I guess I fit the description of geezer..

a couple of observations as a former classroom teacher about those of us that grew up in the 60s...

better work ethic...mowed yards and delivered papers pre teen age ...and worked for an allowance

most probably worked for a while in construction...

good number have former military service, and many served in South East Asia, and even if not a combat vet, an appreciation for a subsistence economy and society...

mechanically inclined.."gearheads" can stick weld, run milling machines, lathes and other hand tools,...if it has a carburetor and distributor can make it work

probably financially better able to purchase specific equipment...as a shooter, if I need an $800 scope on a $600 rifle, I'll buy it..I've shot over 300K rounds of pistol ammo to become a Limited Master

prescription meds typically evolved around being overweight...a 90 day supply can possibly give you enough time to loose the weight causing the need

probably more of a shooting culture.. many young people today were not given a .22 for the 10th birthday...and definitely not allowed a BB gun for back yard safaris

probably belonged to Scouts...first aid, navigation, and other woodcraft skills reach a small fraction of today's youth

possibly more religious

those of us that grew up on the coasts...protein gathering sources from seafood

and lastly...we can be better problem solvers, because we have more experiences to draw from..we did things in our youth, rather than just watching them be done
