    Training for the outdoors

    Time is worth your health, which I'd hope most of us would agree on. Set yourself some realistic goals to achieve and when you don't want to do your exercise, that is the day you absolutely MUST do it. Hardening your mind will sharpen your body. One example I will share - I did an excessive...

    Walkin and thinkin

    You nailed it @Duckslayer100. I quit drinking just over a year ago when I turned 40 and found myself connecting with the outdoors more everyday. It was damn hard to keep me inside no matter the weather. Runs, fishing, hunting, shoveling snow, you name it - it's all fun, freeing, and theraputic...

    Corner Crossing Victory

    Seems like a great way to wrench a guys back, trip, and potentially harm one's self with their own weapon. The picture and your comment are hilarious to me though.

    New Garmin Electronics

    I expected something better than this from Garmin. Not that it's a bad product, but I just don't see the benefit to what I already have and how I fish. If anything, it's the start to them building a 3D, 360, live sonar.

    Ipilot follow the contour??

    I'm a scoper, so drift mode was a huge addition for me. It's unbelievably convenient to be able to scan and cast with no other distractions since I still use a down rod and don't depend on moving my trolling motor scan. The spot lock seems to anchor in a lot better and the "dogs tail" doesn't...

    Ipilot follow the contour??

    @Sluggo The new iPilot's have two forms of autopilot, advanced and legacy, that can be switched on your remote (unless you only have the micro remote). I've only used advanced and love it. @Bauer Drift mode does not need to be paired with anything and I can confirm that it works awesome. You...

    Happy Birthday Vollmer!

    What a great day to have a birthday. Thanks for keeping this website going @Vollmer. I hope enjoy the finest of steaks this evening for your birthday... I know I will.

    Clam vs. Eskimo vs. Otter

    I've fished out of all three brands and my order of purchase would be Eskimo, Otter, Frabill, Clam. I'm just not impressed with what Clam has done in their flip over shelters line up.

    ATF Backdoor Gun Registry

    I am not saying that at all. This is a political top intertwined with the outdoors, so yes it does belong here, but it can still fall into the political section because the ATF encompasses all firearm related issues, not just a hunters rights to own guns. The topics that frustrate the majority...

    ATF Backdoor Gun Registry

    I would rate this to fall into a political discussion and I'm ok with that for a change. Ironically, I find @camper to be accurate on this one... where is the honest bone... what happened to ending the war in Urkraine in 1 day. What happened to releasing the Epstein files? This isn't just a...

    Well, back to winter

    My wife and I are somehow the opposite in the older we get the more we enjoy a good winter. Aside from that, I like doing hard shit. Builds character, keeps us mentally strong, unlike those wussies down south ;)

    POLITICS - WTF?

    I think you nailed it. The only reason I'm still able to visit this site is because I haven't seen the political BS nearly as much lately. I nearly left for good a few months ago. This is an outdoors website. There are many other websites where we can debate politics if we want.

    Sheyenne River Water Trail

    I've kayak'd various sections of the James River south of Jtown that weren't bad for debris at all. The river has so many bends/turns that it can make a very long day if the water is low/slow. There is a nice stopping/camping point at the Grand Rapids Memorial Country Club. 3-4 years ago we...

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    A lake rebounding in a few years is going to be dependent on surveys, netting, and stocking. Not every lake is netted or surveyed every year, which further delays stocking and therefore it's rebound time. A few years is a flexible number, but to say it'll be recovered in 3-5 years isn't accurate...
