Flyrod & line.

@Bob Zmuda Are you nymphing? Is that an indicator?
I was. I always bring 2 rods with 2 set ups.

I got there and nothing was rising. The water level is finally down and the fish have moved to the fast moving bubbles. Tossed the nymph rig in some white water and had luck.

Later I found a hole where they were rising and caught a few on a royal wolf. :)

Nearly got the car body off the frame except the gas tank filler neck runs under the frame, so I have to remove it first and the damn thing won't budge. Unfortunately it started raining, so I just ran some errands and have been playing Fallout 2 most of the day.
I love the fallout series. I like the first two the best. I've been playing fallout new Vegas lately.
About 2 weeks ago I was leaving the grocery store & I see a guy down in the parking lot - go ripping over in my truck & help him to his feet, pick up his Taco bell (in a bag). He's very weak, had stumbled in a small pot-hole in the blacktop. I offered him a ride but he refused saying he lived just across the street.

Not drunk or stoned as he was very coherent, but obviously not well either.

I hope he's ok.
I'm hypoglycemic. My sugar drops fast sometimes. I keep snacks with me. I was hunting deep in the woods last year or the year before and my sugar drops. I get the shakes and I'm sweating bad. Feel like I'm about to pass out. I go to get in my hunting bag to get some snacks. They are gone. Kids got them and I didn't check before I left. I almost didn't make it out of the holler.

Scary shit for sure.

I still haven't finished fallout 4, I keep meaning to but never pick it up. I love all of them too, remember playing fallout for the first time when I was like 13 or 14.

That's some scary shit. I've never went hunting without my dad or a friend, just in case.

Funny how the mind can work when alone in the woods.
I am amazed how many hunters I've encountered over the years who didn't have any survival gear with them in the field.
Getting lost & having to spend the night in the woods sucks.
But it REALLY sucks when you die from hypothermia because you wore cotton, got wet, and couldn't start a fire or build a shelter. :dunce:

I carry a small back pack with the basics. A little food, candle, waterproof matches, survival bkanket, para cord, some hooks, small first aid kit and various other odds and ends.
Man, we love that show. Shit gets intense, so much self reflection.
I would like to do it but I know it would be very tough.

or can't land navigate with map and compass, just rely on a piece of electronic gear.

I liked survivor man show the best. He has a couple internet videos that show him and his family roughing it and building a cabin.

I got lost one time in the woods when I was younger. I had to stay the night in the woods. I didn't have much with me. It got cold but stayed dry. It could've been a lot worse.

I do remember it being like the survival shows say. When I realized I was lost a panic set in for a few seconds. I had the urge to run and find my way out. I kept my wits and took a breathe and calmed down.

It was late and I knew I wasn't making it out that day. I built a good shelter and spent the night. Took half a day to find my way back to familiar territory.

My dad would take me and my brother out when we were very young and get us turned around and slip off. He stayed close enough to watch us. I'm glad he did.

Don't forget signal!
Signal mirror & strobe light were always in my pack.
Actually used the strobe when I got lost in the desert & ran out of gas. :dunce::dunce:
It had a magnetic base that stuck to the roof of your vehicle, regardless of wind/rain.
Only snow or a dead battery could kill it.

80 mile round trip to water....which isn't terrible...40 miles one way through the country doesn't take to long....work is only 10 or so miles from home....but I'm making that trip 3 to 4 times per week ATM....The craziest part is when I move up to that house full time....il be making that trip everyday for work...but that won't be until my boys get older.
