    Recommendations for Backpacking Wading Boots

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have a modified take on this. Ive used a pair of old Hokas for this. Im leaning towards staying with this but I now the Hoka will disintegrate at a rapid pace.

    Sudden Ending....

    Good work. Great lesson. Nowadays, that exact scenario is on my mind, when summer backpacking or camping, in Central Oregon/Montana/Idaho/Wyoming. Didnt used to be but it has become the new normal, in these areas. Ive had to evac out while camping, twice, so far. Once surrounded by...

    Poor Man's 8ft Hopper

    A simple hack that’s payed off immensely for me in my Driftboat is to throw a sheet in. I cover anything that can cause tangled fly line, with said sheet. Works great. Another simple hack is to use my boat net as a stripping basket. Tactical Fly Fisher You Tube posted these ideas IIRC...

    NFR Need vehicle opinions.

    Regarding AWD, keep in mind if one tire needs complete replacement, it is recommended all 4 tires be replaced. Has to do with the new tire not being the same diameter as the other three, putting stress/torque onto the drive train/gears. FWIW if you rent an AWD vehicle and you need a tire...

    Drift boat cover

    @Mark Yoshida Will do. The boat cover on my Driftboat is probably 20 - 25 years old. I am sure she made it. It is still serviceable and I dont park the boat under cover. Quite impressive craftmanship. Ive prolonged its' life by covering the Canvas, with a blue tarp, in the winter as it...
