I hope he washed the puppies a lot. Otherwise Caine can forget about sneaking up on anybody, his feet would warn them.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet.
Actually, feet end up stinking a lot worse when you have them wrapped up in socks and shoes all day, due to trapped moisture. Going barefoot would prevent smelly feet.
shareI was thinking the same thing and was about to start a thread on this. I wonder if real Chinamen in the 19th century, in China or America, would have walked around everywhere in bare feet, especially if sometimes the weather isn't very warm, even in Arizona.
shareIt depends on whether or not they could afford shoes.
shareHe wasn't a Chinaman, he was a Buddhist Monk. I'm neither, but I'm guessing there is a big difference.
shareBuddhist Monk is not a nationality.
I think rocks would be the problem with bare feet. Hot sand is unbearable.
Who's talking about a Nationality?
If one is disciplined like a Buddhist Monk, and spends all their time in bare feet, I'm sure both the mind and feet get very tough. Whether we should think like normal people is different. He was a Shoalin Monk, he was an exceptional person, very disciplined. His feet could take discomfort, unlike yours and mine.
He's like Cody of Dual Survival, lol.

Thanks for sharing that. It was actually very interesting. I walk barefooted around my house for most of the year and I have hardwood floors. Yes, it does toughen the feet but it also contributes to callouses, which, as anyone knows who's had them, become painful after awhile. I use a pumice stone to basically file them down and remedy that. Surely that old guy did something similar.
shareCarradine used to walk around barefoot in those days anyway, as did many young people of the counterculture. I did so myself. The soles of your feet toughen up pretty quickly!
