I just got my first proper griddle. I no longer eat non-griddle foods. Who else has a griddle? Any interesting recipes or techniques to share? I am particularly interested in cleaning techniques. My approach has been to use half a tree, every time. Doesn’t seem like the most sustainable...

I got them from IKEA. Search for “Grillskar”. Note that I heavily modified mine. My deck has a ~3 inch drop, from wall to railing. I cut the legs off and made my own frame underneath, out of cedar. Cutting the legs off also puts the griddle at a more comfortable height. I cut a hole in the...

More adventures in poor man’s pizza ovening. I sold my grill and replaced it with a griddle that can convert into a 16 inch pizza oven. See link below. https://www.campchef.com/camp-chef-versatop-2x/CC-FTG400.html I now have two pizza ovens. One isn’t enough for entertaining. I’ve only used...

Pretty sure he had a rod vault on his Jeep. It might be gone now. I unsubscribed a while ago, because he started posting too much click bait.

Reel seats have separated multiple times in his videos. My theory is that it is caused by his rod vault, building up heat under the sun.

Bro was trying to evolve his way back to land but just ended up with some weird ass fins.

Took it out for the first time. Second time ever fly fishing a lake with a float tube. Caught three fish. They were all in the vicinity of where the finder showed a bunch of fish, so I guess it works. Pretty happy with it. I connected the leash to one of the D loops, on the side of my float...

An impulse purchase may have just occurred. 🚀

Does anyone have experience with these? They seem like a neat solution, for folks in float tubes. I think I researched these before, but I can’t remember what the outcome was. I have newborn induced sleep deprivation and memory loss. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/665274

I recommend everyone has a soft shell and a hard shell. Personally, I have a Black Diamond Dawn Patrol and an OR Foray. Modern soft shells are so good that I rarely wear the hard shell, but when you need it… you need it.

@Jake Watrous, did you end up getting into videography? If so, what were some resources that you found useful? Currently sitting in the hospital, after the arrival of baby #2. I’ve taken great photos, but I’m thinking family videos are something I should probably get into. I tried a few times...

It is often worth paying more for novel or niche fly rods, because that’s an area where the extra R&D cost actually has an impact. I don’t believe it is worth paying premium prices for common rods, such as a 9ft 5wt trout rod. Such rods have not meaningfully improved in performance in over a...

What would you consider to be the minimum yearly commitment?

It would seem that I need to clarify my post. I intend to use bear spray, for protection from wildlife. There is absolutely no chance I would ever be good enough at shooting to hit a cougar. I would only purchase a firearm for protection against animals that have their own firearms. I would have...

The cougar attack thread got me thinking about an important topic. My home is in bear and cougar country. I've never seen a cougar, but bears are found roaming the streets about a dozen times each year. More importantly, all the paved walking trails run along side a forest and I'm sure there's...

The design is a significant improvement over Oros, but I wish they had an extra small size like Oros do.

Stiffer and lighter rods are more sensitive than softer and heavier rods, because more of the vibrations reach your hand instead of being dampened by the blank. Typically, you will lose some strength as a result. Some folks put their index finger on the blank. Supposedly, the cork dampens...

I’ve only used 3wt euro rods, so I can’t comment on the higher line weights. The Cortland 10ft 6in 3wt that I had was noticeably stronger in the butt than my Carbon XL. However, the tip was a bit softer. That made it great for tight line techniques, but it didn’t like casting a fly line heavier...
