Nice setup! Any idea how old the rod / reel combo is ?

Cool- Theyre, cute little shits , but mean as hell !!

Wasnt meant to be taken seriously. I saw that press conference live the day he said that; he was thinking out loud jokingly. Now, in contrast, you do realize there is a TON yutube fodder out there of Biden saying stupid things , right? If this example is your metric for demonstration of an able and effective leader, Biden would lose ; it would not even be close.

I dont know and dont care; He was a very effective and able leader . Not perfect, certainly , but effective.

You feel its inconsequential then? Having said that, I also believe that if Trump had been reelected , we would be in about the same position in terms of fighting COVID; And, everything else would be better too!!

Hes doin ok with COVID, but beyond that, everything else is worse as compared to under Trump.

There are alot of members on here who think they know it all; based on Belos' post here , I wonder if he hes not one of them. What you say about Grouse may or not be true, btw, but what I'm saying is, the post that Belo was specifically referring to was NOT demeaning in any way AND, he turns around and submits a post that is CLEARLY demeaning himself while complaining about Grouses !! Hypocritical and wrong- I dont support anyone when theyre wrong-even those whom I may mostly agree withpolitically- and I will cetainly call out people who attack others for conduct that they themselves engage in.

Youre making alot of assumptions about people who hold a belief based on credible evidence that you do not share. I believe-as do MANY on this forum- that there truly was election fraud; however, I do NOT believe in either the Q Anon conspiracy or that the moon landing was fake. I repeat: you accused Grouse of being demeaning in a post in which he clearly was not and then subsequently, submit a post that IS unequivocally demeaning and offensive-That is hypocrisy in my book.

Yes , that’s a good idea ; I have to get there myself , someday .

Definitely a sling pack now , but wires vest for years . I prefer the pack cuz everything’s together in one place and it’s right in front of you on your chest . The vest , although useful in its own right , has one major flaw IMHO in that your flies stored in lower pockets of the vest can ( and often do) get wet , making them rust quicker.

I find it ironic that you accused Grouse of being offensive And insulting in a previous post , yet you used insulting Language yourself in this one when describing people who believe that there was election fraud as “idiots”. A bit of hypocrisy there , don’t you think ?

Election fraud/ stolen

Well , Thisis one that is IMHO . If it turns out to be proved - beyond a reasonable doubt - that I’m wrong, I will freely admit it publicly , but until then , I believe that there was significant election fraud . Enough to cause the election to swing entirely the other way? Perhaps not , but that remains to be seen as you don’t know that it’s false anymore than we do that it is true- is that a fair statement ? And for the record : I do not believe In Bigfoot or that the moon landing was staged lol.

Some would disagree with that assertion .

Perhaps , but Being pretty far right And specifically calling him out for a demeaning post that you now admit was not demeaning are separate issues aren’t they?

Going carbon neutral will not solve the problem I’m afraid , because no matter what energy source is relied upon , their will be inexorable environmental issues associated with it. Solar and wind are inexhaustible but grossly in adequate; moreover , they’re are aesthetic issues with wind that I’m sure you’re aware of. Going carbon neutral is a noble objective , but must be reached gradually and without deleteriously impacting the economy . And trust me , even republicans want clean air and clean water ; I believe they just object to environmental regs being used as a cudgel ( at times ) to impede Devpt and improvement in cases where it’s warranted , and perhaps , vital.

I'm confused- what part of his post (I'm assuming your referring to Grouses when I say this, btw) was demeaning? Not that he cant be-as many are on here- from time-to-time, but where in this particular instance, I'm wondering? He's just ,very generally, stating that many adopt a point of view based on a preconceived narrative theyve adopted and , rather than search for the truth, instead look for evidence to validate their belief system (At least, thats the way i interpret his comments lol).

Yes, and it applies to both sides, of course.

Who doesnt support reasonable pro-enviornmental legislation? I think nearly everyone on both sides of the political spectrum does; where they differ is in what constitutes "reasonable" and "prudent".

If you and Grouse actually met and had a substantive discussion, Im sure you could fnd some common ground on certain issues and agree to disagree on others. I mean, hell, we know you both have at least one thing in common: you like to hunt, right!!

Well, Im not sure who you are referring to when you suggest anyone on here models the caricature youve described; in fact, i've never heard anyone else make this assertion but you. I'm sure this isnt your backhanded way of suggesting that they are inextricably linked, correct?

Who would believe that it was in the first place?

Absolutely not true; quite the opposite, in fact.

I unequivocally and emphatically refute your contention that anyone, simply by being politically affiliated any particular political party and/or ideology, could accurately be so labelled- I mean, isnt that a form of bias at its very core? Your description could easily describe countless individuals of both major political ideologies and has nothing to do with the ideology , in and of itself.

Im wearing long johns sprayed w/ Repellent year round now because of them. Theyll attach but they cant get to your skin. As soon as I get home, throw em in the dryer cuz heats supposed to kill em.
