How did Dick Proenneke cut his hair out in the wild? With a Penn's patent "Easytrim" of course.
July 7th. An odds-and-ends day.
I put out a good-sized laundry to flutter and snap in a warm wind. Did some mending. Wrote letters and tossed them into the pile ready to go out on Babe’s express. Then a visit to the Twin Lakes’ barbershop. That little Penn’s Easy Trim is the best investment I have made for a long time.

Thanks for your post, Angelo. I just read the passage about Penn's Easy Trim in the Kindle edition of Proenneke's book and decided to google it. Now I know what this little device looks like.
