Troy Hurtubise is back at it

Troy, who is a personal hero (especially for his research committee meetings at a North Bay Country Style Donuts and stalking Black Bears in a garbage dump, as captured in Project Grizzly), is back at it again. He has built a suit of armour (tested against bullets and an elephant gun) for soldiers.

Best part? Troy, who still lives in North Bay (Lee and I made a special road trip to the Country Style Donuts), drove to Hamilton in his suit:

Hurtubise, 43, wore his suit — helmet and all — on the four-hour drive down south, partly as a way of making sure it would be comfortable enough in the field. Even sitting on his armoured butt cheeks, he said he was fine.

As he drove his black pickup in his black getup, other drivers gawked and honked. Just south of Huntsville, he was delighted to be pulled over and gave an apprehensive OPP officer a close-up look at the suit.

Awesome.
