Before the deep freeze!

[leech~~]

Used the last two days in the 30's to pull a few in up in the Longville area at a buddies cabin. Biggest was 13" 

Time to eat crappie chips and stay warm for the next 3 days.  -23 below up here Monday night!

 i actually dont mind eating duck...like goose more better though!!!!

I don't bring them back, eat a lot then clean them for the village. Some like them plucked and some like the breasts cut out. It's really remote where I go and the locals live off the land. I know they want me to go get some doves for them too. My buddy is a local so we'll probably go get a deer as well for some venison for some of the elders in the community

Awesome kind of trip!

I figured there would be a local benefit if you couldn’t bring them back (not saying you can’t).  Having a connection down there is pretty cool!

 

We donated a good share of meat to the village in Kotzebue, AK instead of shipping it all back.  Pretty pricey and they really appreciated it.  Win/win.

The locals there shoot ducks but don't hunt them. If they see a bunch on a pond they'll sneak up and water swat them but it's strictly for food not sport.

My buddy runs an outfitter so him and I will hunt a few days and scout then I'll help him with a group whose coming mid week. He's from there. Hoping he can come to Canada next year with me. He's never seen or shot a goose

Ok, how did we get from crappies and freezing temps to pond slime eaters in south America?  Focus!  

[Wanderer]

Central America.

 

Focus.

 

We almost went for a local overnight crappie run but the daughter’s septic froze so I got to work the brown trout pond through a 4 inch hole.  

It was opener today afterall.

Put down a foam insulation ring, wrap the hard seat in velvet or man up!

 

There are options!  And I’m thinking there’s one in there you might like!

We had a septic “company” out yesterday.  Basically a young entrepreneur with a steam jetter n stuff in a trailer.  Well, he let his stuff get froze up before he got there.  I tried setting him up to thaw his stuff but he didn’t seem too committed.  Said he’d go home, take care of it, come back tomorrow.

 

Well my old dude patience ran out about 9am.  Took my thawed and warm hoses, connected to the blow down valve on the water heater and cleared that line out.

 

Dropped a bunch of insulation on it, told the kid to run some hot water every once in a while till we warm up.

 

It sucked but it certainly wasn’t that hard.   I fear for our old man safety when we can’t just take care of it anymore.

Um, hello.  I seem to remember a weekend at a camper in Ely with no working biff.  I handled things just fine.  

Not new to the outdoors kids!

My line froze last winter so I was getting water from the lake to flush the toilet. For about a week then I dug the yard up and used a heat gun. I wrapped an electric coil around it this winter.

[Kettle]

Also I don't care if it froze right now, I won't have to deal with it until the 27th. It was 93 here today
