A message to 'call for rescue' should be a last resort, and is absolutely not a substitute for adequate preparation. Same sort of situation occurs in mountaineering these days, especially with the advent of cellphones and satellite communication devices.

They'd best have a VHF radio or satellite communication device.....

The problem with declining interest in any natural resource dependent activity is that it means fewer people are even aware of its existence and could care less about maintaining its continuing availability.

I see this trend occurring in friends, family, acquaintances..... https://www.wired2fish.com/opinions-philosophies/why-do-so-many-anglers-quit-fishing

I find stings from Bald Face hornets to cause the most pain and lasting symptoms. Maybe it's the type or volume of the venom those aggressive bastards employ.

My HD Superglide's Vance & Hines straight pipes render click pawl drag noise irrelevant. And the six V&H straight pipes on my Valkyrie Interstate will make you pine for the subtle sound of outboards on your favorite flatwater.

Indeed I do...but the sad part is that there's no functional reason for justifying extreme price gouging for a technology perfected decades ago.

Wait till you you see the current cost of an Epipen these days....they were about $100 a few years ago but the current price runs about $700 and even with coverage offsets can easily hit $300+. Greed is good!

Real life heroes (like your uncle) never talked about their true heroism. Thank you for sharing!

You forgot to mention the electrified tanglefoot wire, motion detector alarms, and claymores deployed around the perimeter of the Casa campsite!

Good point! I also place the flyrod butt/attached flyreel inside a Crown Royal bag to reduce road dust intrusion, as well as wear on the reel anodized surface from vibration. My flyrods remain fully assembled at home....ready to be inserted into the vault in minutes. Saves shitloads of time...

I've used a 4 flyrod vault (Denver design) for several years. Really like the time it saves getting on water. 4 comments... 1) You need to have the flyrod protected by some sort of soft fabric sleeve (somewhat of a flyrod condom) because vibration inside the tube can abrade guide wraps...

Some of the 'deep fake' AI generated videos of well regarded and very reputable medical professionals and celebrities are being used to scam people by hawking snakeoil cures for horrific diseases like cancer and dementia. The videos are incredibly realistic.

Same situation exists with used motorcycles (especially HD). Nobody cares how much money you wasted on 'personalizing' your bike with chrome bling crap...even if you've "got receipts".

Your experience illustrates why I've got a fair collection of WDFW emails!

Good idea installing a removable fin skeg. I need to put one (or jury-rig some sort of controllable rudder) on my shortest SOT kayak (9') because it's a fat little bitch to paddle in a straight line on flatwater.

I cast equally shitty whether I'm standing up or sitting on my fat ass.

Even better, email the regional office who will forward the question to the appropriate officer....and print out their response. I've always received timely responses to my questions. Enforcement folks don't always share the same opinion regarding regulatory interpretation and a printed email...

Do you regularly take both the SUP and Hobie to fishing destinations? Another alternative (albeit an expensive one) is the Hobie Lynx...

Having watched SUP flyfishers on one of our small flyfishing-only lakes for several seasons I'd say it presents some serious challenges even during light winds, which necessitates spending far more time with a paddle than flyrod in hand....and there are very few windless days on most lakes...
