I hear you. I’m 60. I had some life threatening health issues a few years ago. Laying there in that hospital bed with a uncertain future made me thankful I always made hunting , fishing with good friends and family a priority right up there with my career. They managed to patch me up and keep me...
I have Victoria and Lodge. They are both about the same performance wise once they got really seasoned good. The last Lodge I got was a big dutch oven and that thing was as rough as the surface of the moon. Eventually it smoothed up. I mostly use it for frying fish. I like my enamel covered cast...
I’m always careful calling people with money stupid. They might have made that money being pretty smart. What I think is stupid is people with out much money spending that kind of jack on a cast iron skillet. I dont care how a guy spends his pay check so long as he doesn't owe me money he isnt...
Good post. I got friends who for the past 40 years have had to be in a factory or an office building at a certain time every work day with limited vacation days that restrict travel and time away. Most of those jobs have afforded my buds good lives and a level of financial security. Those seem...

20 years ago I left for a week long spring gobbler hunt. My house keeper decided it was a good time to move stuff around in the utility room that housed my washer dryer and freezer.
Being early spring the freezer was full of my game meat. Three deer, a few wild boar and a dozen pheasants. One...
I’m a yaker but not an engineer but I agree you can not can increase the weight capacity by putting any more floatation in the inside. Most yaks function best at about 70% of the weight capacity. Keep your eye open for used yak with about 300-350lb capacity. Performance will be great. I think a...
