Back when we used Kirby Morgan 17s for everything

Pulled out my old logbook from 2004 yesterday and saw a job in the Gulf where we did 6 hours bottom time on a single 17. No hot water suits, just dry gloves and a prayer lol. Anyone else miss how simple the gear was back then or am I just getting old?

Oh man, I used to totally disagree with all the nostalgia for the old gear... thought people were just romanticizing the hard times. But then I had to switch to a modern setup on a job last year and honestly it changed my mind completely, sometimes simpler really was better.
