    Yeti

    I agree with the respect for the business. They have created a buzz and following and created a marketing strategy that has many following. Along with a quality product. However I do question the innovation side of things. Going back to the beginning it looks like Engel created the first high...

    Huk rain gear

    I will admit I haven't spent much time looking into the latest (Sitka, Kuiu, Simms, Huk) breathable type rain wear in the last 5 years. My experience with all the gortex stuff is it works well in a light rain and for maybe 2 seasons. After that seam start to leak and any hard rain will get you...

    Cooler Advice

    You cant even give Yeti credit for concept. Engel had a roto-molded cooler on the market in 2004. 2 years before Yeti even formed as a company. Look at the following pics from the 2004 SEMA show on Engels. Hmmm... Im sure there was some money spent on R&D, but come on... IT IS A COOLER...

    Cooler Advice

    The comparison is made because everybody knows they were the first company to really market high end coolers and one could say pretty much created the market. Only slam I have on Yeti is the percent markup they put on their product. Consumers are paying for their marketing, distribution systems...

    Cooler Advice

    KDM has good advice on really thinking about what you will use the cooler for. I have an RTIC 45 and an RTIC Soft Side 30. The Soft Side 30 sees the most use by far. It's only like 4lbs empty and is large enough to hold enough beverages for 2-4 people for a day on the boat. Got it for $90 or so...

    Green Bean Issues

    Have any other varieties planted? Last time I planted beans I planted 4 varieties and 1 out of the 4 looked exactly like above. Other 3 varieties in same row/area performed great. Interesting thing was, for the most part the ones that looked like above rebounded great in late June and July and...

    Hydroseeding and grading help!!

    So the funds from you are being paid to your builder? - - - Updated - - - Hard to tell how bad it is without photos. But I would think it doesn't have to be a complete redo. Have top soil brought in to fill in the washouts, make sure it fills in all voids and is compacted some so it doesn't...

    Hydroseeding and grading help!!

    The way you worded it, it sounds like just one company doing it all which should make it easier. Most of the time you pay a bit more for a general contractor, but when or if its not done right and it comes time to point fingers having no one else to point at makes things easier. What I see so...

    Have any rocks you want to get rid of?

    yeah I think some landscaping places or entrepreneurs in town got smart and realized if they have the equipment and land to transport and pile these rocks for long term storage they can make a buck. They get to purchase the rocks from the landowners that don't want them for cheap and they can...

    Van Hook Classic 2017

    Thanks for the info guys. I know both areas equally well so toss up... Never been to either:D. Might stick to Garrison or Douglas but seems wise to just drive a bit further.

    Van Hook Classic 2017

    So for a guy planning to fish on Sunday around New Town, does he fish on the Arm side or head west of New Town to the river side? Bite seems to be going in both places. Given the day 2 move to Sunday, maybe less of a crowd on the river side?

    Bismarck water treatment plant

    Might just be undersized for the peak it is seeing right now. People seem to be watering lawns 1-2 times per day. I don't think I turned on my sprinklers on until close to July last summer. This was discussed some in the other thread but many have spent high $$ on their landscape and turf and...

    Wild asparagus

    I had some 1"to 1.25" thick in a Texas restaurant one time and they were the best I ever had. Ever since I have preferred the thicker sprouts vs the thin. You just need to snap of the harder woody base and then use a peeler to take of the skin on the bottom 3/4 of the sprout. Dan's in...

    How long did the 30year shingles last?

    Fish mount or picture?

    I don't have any fish mounted, but haven't ruled it out. But honestly, if I do decide to get a mount I will look hard into replicas. Its all synthetic so they shouldn't be any issues with it looking old down the road, Just keep it out of the sun and UV light. I want to pay once for it and be...

    Out of state pros

    Im pretty sure I saw all boats in the NWT had to have their boat inspected at North Country Marine as they pulled into Garrison for the week. I tried to find the source to post link, but couldn't find it. Maybe someone can confirm. - - - Updated - - - To add, even last year at a small...

    Sakakawea NWT

    It makes it more interesting and adds strategy, I wont disagree there. But I also see the side that ultimately, a fishing tournament should be won by the boat who caught or can catch the biggest set amount of fish that day or days. With no cull set up that isn't always the case.

    Sakakawea NWT

    Saw a post from Parsons yesterday talking about the no Cull and fish limits. Sounds like yesterday he had to quit early while on a big fish bite. He shared his opinion on how he would prefer an AIM (Catch measure photo release) format. I was just thinking a week ago about how every single...

    Stanley cup playoffs

    I get what your saying but, Toews and Kane brought Chicago 3 Cups in the last 7 years. I think you pay them what they earned. Also the way they closed the season (playoffs not included) many had them as one of the favorites.

    Sakakawea NWT

    Didn't the NWT championship last fall have most of the field going 100 miles and I thought it was blowing hard on the first couple of days. Most of these guys are use to this.
