    Stratos Boats

    That is the current situation. A little interesting history about stratos & triton boats. Stratos boats was originally formed by Earl Bentz back in the 80s. Earl then sold Stratos to OMC (Evinrude / Johnson) and became President of OMC fishing boat company. He then started Javelin boats shortly...

    So...Recession?

    You’ll be surprised. Those that can afford to purchase or make those type of payments are in better shape than you think.

    So...Recession?

    One thing I like to keep in mind, for as many as I look around at and think are leveraged to the hilt, there are just as many that have that shit paid for. Tack on a considerable amount of generational wealth and I think many people would be surprised. There's also never been an easier time to...

    So...Recession?

    You do realize that 55% of the US population is over the age of 35, and 33% is over the age of 50. The boomers are at retirement age and the older gen x's aren't far away. Health care is going to be in high demand for the next 30+ years. So you have a high percentage of population leaving the...

    So...Recession?

    Your wife was a RN and had a tough time finding a job back in 08/09? That seems odd recession or not. Health care is one thing that's damn near recession proof. My wife had just became an NP and finding a job wasn't an issue. Now finding a job that didn't involve shift work and in a department...

    camper mattress

    As someone else mentioned, measure the one you have. You might think it's a king but often times the camper mattresses are shorter and true king might not fit if the bedroom slide slides in tight against a cabinet or wall like our last couple did. What we did with our last three campers was...

    Another winter storm

    As far as I'm concerned, it can either do nothing, or it can dump 3 feet, I'm good with either; but don't dump 3" every day with wind. it doesn't stop me from haveing to live my normal day to day and I still have to sit in the tractor and move the shit every day!

    Used or new UTV

    Yeh, so was I..........They are not the most reliable of machines and I've yet to be impressed with one. Are they better than the Chinese knock offs, absolutely and by a bunch but that's not saying much in this segment. Motors are so so, clutches are garbage, good luck getting more than 3-5k...

    Used or new UTV

    I would agree to disagree, some machines are simply built better and there's no way around it. The major brands are certainly better than the off brands like odes and such but that's not saying any are super steller, especially with them costing damn near what a small pickup costs. Frankly, to...

    Used or new UTV

    Consider a Kawasaki Mule Pro FX or FXT (2 door / 4 door). These are bullet proof machines that use an actual Chinese car engine instead of a power-sports engine. Quiet, reliable, use an actually alternator instead of a stator for electrical power, and have a reasonable amount of accessories...

They will now be traveling 2-3 hours one way several times throughout the season to play another team in there division. Sports...

    I need a plane with a window that opens. Going to shoot that balloon down

    Hmmmm, shoot it down over the US and have two school buses worth of equpment fall to the ground unguided seems like a good chance for some fatalities. Also, in the back of a persons mind you have to wonder if there are any biological or chemical weapons aboard that would be released when it hits...

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    Yep, made my Tee like the sewer skewer and capped the ends of the Tee and drilled holes through it. Mines is heavier copper, larger diameter and is 12’ long and sure as shit it froze over yesterday (12/25’). So even with a giant sewer skewer and a black insul-vent slip over cover I still freeze...

    Bitcoin

    .......and that's per person on the account and per lending institution. If you have joint accounts with your spouse, it'll cover for $500k. Of course that assumes you believe the goverment will actually pay if things went south that badly.

    Field Dressing Deer

    I'm on board with a few of the others, we haven't gutted/field dressed a large game animal in probably a decade. Fabricated a good receiver hitch hanger for the pickup so when we have a deer, antelope or otherwise, it's gets hung up immediately, skin it, pull off front quarters, back-straps...

    Crazy Hunter Harassment Duck Hunting In North Dakota (Game Warden Involved!)

    That is completely incorrect. The information they are using is simply public domain information from a conglomeration of county data bases, typically the tax or property management GIS data base of the respective county and some are much better than others. Those data bases are often times...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    There's not doubt there is a very, very good chance they cheated in past tournaments. That's how you get the balls to stuff 8+lbs of lead and other objects in 5 fish. They got darning and it became blatant. Had they only put 2 or 4 lbs in would've they been caught, who knows. I don't think...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    On the topic of tourney fishing as a carrier, good luck to those that do! I had my 13 year old son as my partner in a tournament very recently. Took him over and introduced him to one of the pro's that's been in the sport for several decades and is very well known. Asked him if he had any advise...
