A quick trip to Cajon last weekend included a gab session with some younger fans in the Summit area. These were serious shooters who haven't been doing the train chasing thing very long, and one of them inquired about my "shooter's clothing" which seemed exceptionally suited to train chasing. So I will post something that I've yapped about before... I have found that one of the greatest things to make your field photography more comfortable is "cargo pants"...the pants derived from military BDUs that have big, square pockets in the thighs. They are great for carrying notebooks, large quantities of film, etc, without getting in your way when you hop in and out of a car, etc. AND, they are not very fashionable, so (unlike many kinds of blue jeans) you can find them for $40 or less at a number of stores. The best source of these (as well as other field-tested outdoors clothing) is Cabela's, a big mail order hunting and fishing place in Nebraska. Order their free catalog at 1-800-237-4444 and look at two products in particular...the "trail hiker pants" and the "adventurer pants." There are literally dozens of other items in their catalogs...clothing and otherwise...that a field photographer will find useful. This company has earned a well-deserved following from news photographers and other non-hunter, non-fisherman types whose work demands sturdy clothing at a reasonable price. David R.
