You cannot pause the garmin without a reactivation fee, think it’s roughly $30. That would have been a good option. Don’t recall if that Zoleo was available back when I was deciding. I’ve chalked the monthly up to good insurance…set it and forget it. I like that I don’t have to think...

My last boat- a ‘96 Hyde high side had a removable front bench that could accommodate one or two seats. Being removable, the floor below had a pedestal base permanently attached that when I pulled the bench out could run a single seat on the pedestal opening up the interior space. This was a...

I’ve had the inreach mini for about 6 years. On the cheapest monthly plan ~$13/month. Between fishing, dual sport motorcycle riding, hunting and camping, I’m frequently in areas without cell service and have a young family at home. It’s great piece of mind being able to check in with my wife...

For a simple roll top bag - i really like my grundens 30L RumRunner backpack. It would be just big enough for the gear you described.

Just home from a BC Roadtrip.

Yes - live in Maple Valley but work in Seattle/ Bellevue/ Redmond depending on the day.

Like new Tibor Everglades reel in Royal Blue with backing. Like new, purchased for a trip last year and now thinning the heard. $550. Prefer local meet up in puget sound area rather than shipping.

Ive been having luck using HipCamp recently to find spots to camp - kinda like airbnb for camp spots at people properties.

My wife and I did basically that exact same trip in 2021 - catching a Grayling was a species I've wanted to check off for a while.

Here is a vote for the Gozney - Bought it for my wifes birthday a few years ago and we use it a ton. Beyond pizza- cast iron quick cooking in it has been fun- searing steaks, shrimp, lots of veggies and other fish. We often take it with us when we head out camping.

We occasionally use my wifes 2017 outback to tow our older Hyde highside. Typically on quicker float trips to known easy ramps - think Bristol (RIP) to greenbridge on the Yak. Or long distance trips to Montana to visit family where we will only get to float a few times over the vacation. The...

That's about right. Think i paid roughly $500 for a new dexter axle to be welded on my older drift boat trailer by a trailer shop in Ellensburg a couple years ago. If the spindles were damaged by your wheel when the bearings blew, a new axle is the right answer. When i bought my boat, i had to...

traded up from an older Redington 3wt to an Orvis Mission 4wt last year and proceeded to have a 30 fish day on the MO. All on a silver and gold kreelex.

I have the infinium jacket and its sweet. highly recommend. The goretex is only in the hood, shoulders and sleeves. Works awesome for those days where a full rain coat isnt needed. Their heavy weight thermal bottoms are also an awesome wading base layer pant for winter fishing.
