    Financing A Second Home

    Retired guy here that has a couple homes. I'd figure out a way to pay cash for it, or wouldn't have two homes. The last thing you need in retirement is more debt.

    A "kid" wanting to buy land.

    Yep .... and what about that little stretch of bad luck when you have to replace the roof, and in the middle of that your car pukes. If you don't have some wiggle room or significant savings you're using the credit card and getting yourself in further trouble.

    A "kid" wanting to buy land.

    Anywhere near half of your monthly take home income is a huge mortgage. Most recommend to keep it near 1/4 of your monthly take home. I wouldn't go into debt much deeper just to get another five acres.

    Slip in truck camper vs pull behind camper

    Where a slide in comes in handy is for fisherman, so you can still pull the boat.

    Help Me Pick a Fish Finder

    I've owned a lot of this stuff over the years and was always partial to Hummingbird as it seems the most simple and user friendly. On advice of a guy I considered pretty knowledgeable, I outfitted my present boat with the latest greatest Lowrance stuff and now wish I would have stayed with...

    Any heavy equipment mechanics here?

    Have worked on and owned a bunch of iron, but not an expert by any means. Is there a question?

    Do you Hunt from a ground blind?

    I've hunted out of them but not a fan of the tent type manufactured hunting blinds. Much prefer to make them out of native brush and vegetation.

    You would definitely look cool all decked out on Kuiu or Sitka gear.

    Alternative Investments

    If you're going to tie up ground, buy a farm, cash rent it for crops and get an nice annual payment. People give walnuts away around here to anybody that is willing to pick them up. Will probably take at least 50-75 years for trees to get to marketable timber size. I'm not a fan of walnuts...

    Anyone considering the F150 Electric?

    Would not be interested in an electric truck. If they ever come out with some sort of a little Jeep Wrangler or something electric that looks decent, I might get one for short trips around town, etc. All the current electric car options are butt ugly Mini Cooper knock offs in my opinion.

    Stuff you don't like for no good reason

    The fact that you can't hardly find a wood stocked rifle in most gun stores anymore.

    New Ice Auger; What should I be looking at?

    I've been very pleased with my Jiffy 8", LP power auger, however if ice is 8" or less a sharp hand auger works fine.

    Sh*t our wives do...

    How come when you pull in somewhere and park the car to go to the store, to a diner, etc. it takes them minutes just to open the door and get out of the car?

    How would you plan and give guidance

    The worse experiences I've had on these deals is when one (or more) of the group is really stretching to do the trip financially, struggles to get the time away from work or family, or has a spouse that is opposed to it. If they don't have a bang up trip and come home with game it can lead to...

    Is there a good scope you like for your shotgun with a cantilever slug barrel?

    I've got a 220 I use for hunting in IL. It's probably the most accurate off the shelf shotgun available. Best ammo I've found for mine are the 3" Remington Accutips, however they are nowhere to be found now and I'm down to about 13 rounds, so next season may be the last time I use them, then...

    Investing for kids.

    I set up accounts for each of the grandkids and started w/ $10k each. Did not select 529's for reasons mentioned in your post. Basically just put them in good mutual funds with their mom (our daughter) over these accounts until they reach age 18. We've added cash to these accounts a couple...

    Worst Hunting Hand Me Down

    Side tracking to fishing, my dad was too cheap to ever get us a decent outboard for the fishing boat. You might get that old POS Johnson Sea Horse started and get out there, but it was a cinch you were probably going to row back in.
