They're very warm, a bitch to get on and off, and provide great entertainment to spectators watching you walk around looking like a potato with legs.

Good on you for getting him an appropriate helmet...protecting the old noggin is (of course!) the most important thing....and good on the pros who've made wearing them 'cool'!

That flytying station will work great with some sort of desk/bench! Start looking for an old roll top it will fit inside...hides the inevitable flytying mess very effectively!

It's a great lifetime activity at any level...and modern safety gear mitigates the risk tremendously. My grandparents (who both rode motorcycles in the 1913 era) had an only child (my mother) and they were so protective she was never allowed indulging in any sort of risk...riding a bicycle was...

We're probably looking at a future downhill champion or Sam Pilgrim freestyle influencer!

Just ordered a Litespeed Pinhoti 3 hardtail. Never had a titanium bike before, but I've lusted for a Litespeed for decades.

Certainly not blaming the 'victim' but how you put on and take off waders can easily affect wader longevity/integrity, especially at seams. Digging in with a couple of fingers and applying a lot of force puts a lot of stress on seams, and standing on bare ground instead of some clean carpeting...

Licenses and passes are a mere pittance compared to what I spend on outdoor gear and the costs associated with getting afield. I work hard at keeping my geriatric price whining in check.

I like my REI Cap one card. Gives an additional 5% dividend to the 10% REI dividend for REI purchases. As for airline miles I have absolutely no need to acquire...never flying again after my recent extremely unpleasant experiences. As for card interest...what's that? I pay off the balances...

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!
