You keep a six-foot bar, sledgehammer, ratcheting chain winch, and an acetylene torch in your shop. Such items are not for amusement. They are kept and valued because they provide final solutions to otherwise impossible challenges.
So it is with the Power Wagon. It is not fast. It is not pretty, though you do come to believe it is beautiful. It will not be stopped. It becomes immaterial that it gets there slowly. It gets there.
You realize, after due consideration, that you are honored to be in its presence. You sit nearby, silently regarding it, remembering the great deeds.
The truck is brute force, densely packed into a small space, creating a heavy package – entirely portable – capable of traversing impossible terrain to reach the most remote location.
We envy these trucks – if machines can be envied – for their confidence, rugged construction, and ability to perform under the worst conditions. We can only hope to be the stalwart friends they have been for us, for as long as we have known them.
A man wants a friend like this truck, and wishes to be worthy of the friendship.
Common beliefs such as these have brought us together. Join with us each month to celebrate our common values and ideals. Learn from others how to be self-reliant in your own way, with your own tools, in a manner that brings you quiet pride.
