I just figured there was a reason you weren’t already living in Tarpon country. You could be eating a pineapple under a palm tree in Florida.

You'll still be flying from your new home in Nunavut.

Only needing to reach 10-25 ft seems pretty easy. No need for a mono running line. Substitute a normal running line and you can fish the sinking shooting head of your choice and still have a system that handles well. If you don’t want a looped shooting head system then the Rio Custom Outbound...

Sorry to hear about the break in guiding but I hope during the times when you’re going stir crazy not being on the water and working that you can consider this a blessing. You can change your trajectory to live a longer life. This means more time with loved ones and you’ll also get to be...

I used to hate many mentioned when I lived in the PNW. Currently sand spurs are my nemesis. Track everywhere and hurt like a mutha when you step on them. Just moved away and somehow one tracked onto the carpet in our new apartment.

Ummmm, and he seems to be forgetting the recent Super Bowl appearances by the 49ers. The Cowboys would have loved to lose two recent Super Bowls instead of fapping over finally winning a road playoff game against the hapless Bucs.

We all have inefficiencies we deal with in backcountry skiing. Yours might be touring with tele boots. Others might be touring on traditional split board bindings and boots. Mine is lighter touring boots which bring the best performance on the up track but require a bit more finesse on the...

Only thing I might add is swinging a fly for lake trout in one of the largest Great Lake tributaries. Didn’t put in enough time my one winter in the are (the swing fishing for steelhead was too good to pass up).

Good plan. Seatbelts, helmets, and condoms should all end up in the trash bin. This is such a fucked up idea that if something isn't 100% perfect then it shouldn't be done at all.

Still can happen. I'm pretty OCD about this shit (even pre-Covid stopped shaking hands) and got something in early November. Shocking to see how many obvious sick people are travelling and the majority of people in public bathrooms either don't wash their hands or run them under water for a...

I carried an extra belt for the outboard as well as a lot of what’s been mentioned. Still don’t understand the multiple mentions of pee bottles, don’t y’all just pee in the water?

Gallagher?

Long distance exercise is not bad for you.

The only time I’ve even thought about needing ski crampons was one day skinning Japan in January 2020…. and who would ever think you’d need them there in January. Good luck in your trips. Hope BC works in December as that bodes well for snowpack in January 😉.

I’ve had plenty of pow trips at this location but never a corn snow trip with really long touring days on lightweight gear. Sounds crazy to many, but a man wants what he wants… which means it will be pow. I tend to get the opposite of what I expect on trips booked well in advance. Luckily...

Truth, happened to me last winter in BC. Got stuck in a remote trailhead in the snow forgetting to back straight out instead of a 3 point turn. Spent 30-40 minutes digging out before finally remembering a beach driving trick and deflated the stuck tire to 15-20 psi. Drove right out. Would...

Got two big touring trips this winter. January pow 🤞 in BC and hopefully some March corn snow in Europe. Getting boots fitted and new skis next week.

That's because HIIT training without an aerobic base does fuck all for running. There's a reason low intensity, high volume is the secret sauce for aerobic sports.

You can be competitive without being a dick. You can still compete and help others at the same time. The best competitiveness is competing with yourself to improve and learn as much as possible. When being competitive causes you to dislike or think poorly of your "competition" you've already...

A more realistic Elwha bucket list would be a backpack, 6 wt, and a box full of muddlers for summer steelhead if it ever reopens. Too bad it will likely be a gong show in the internet age, even with the hiking requirement.
