"in the trades" implies he has a real job where he produces something physical of need and value like carpenter, electrician, plumber, etc. He doesn't have a meaningless, make work email job like most people.

This, you shouldn't be skimping on anything if you're serious about it, good boots and ppe are worth every dollar.
