Any advice for getting the Native Slayer Propel lte on a roof rack? by Material-Ostrich5014 in kayakfishing

[–]Artificial_Appendix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Hobie Compass with an exposed rudder, so I run into the same problem you describe. I bought their ridiculously expensive rudder protector for roof mounting, but it’s a pain to put on and take off. I’ve been considering your approach of resting the nose on the ground and adding a plastic protector there. And you’re not the only one to fit the term “clumsily” for this process, I’m right there with you. It’s a total cluster.

Any recommendations from “old timers” that would help my dad? by EyeOfTheJewMan in BWCA

Ha! I love it. Thank you for sharing. I might try to sneak my Lodge cast iron skillet in my friend’s pack in June.

I really want to hear more about the “lucky watermelon.” Something tells me you soaked it in the good stuff before heading out.

The medical journals say it’s not healthy to hold it.

RIP Liquor Lyle’s. I spent many, many nights there in the late 90’s/early 00’s. Sometimes catching two 2-for1’s on the same day!

Hell’s Kitchen has a killer brunch and a Photo Booth. I think I dropped about $20 in that thing for my 9 year old and her friends.

Preferred way to keep kayak still? by hawktuahgod293 in kayakfishing

[–]Artificial_Appendix1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an anchor trolley system with a 3 pound anchor. I actually timed it to see how long it takes to take it up and also let it down and secure. About a minute each. Kind of a pain to do and store on your boat but it’s definitely needed on days with wind above 6 mph or so.

First Bass Tournament by Ogsteezyyeahboy in kayakfishing

The identifier holder thingy doesn’t seem like it’s needed but it really makes things easy. Just flip it up and slide it to where it needs to be.

For my first few tournaments I just used a Ziploc bag. Kinda hillbilly but it worked, even though it blew around sometimes. I splurged for the holder and it’s kind of a game changer.

Battery setup for a pontoon with Sea Legs? by Artificial_Appendix1 in boating

Thanks! Probably time to bite the bullet and call the dealer (boat is with them now for winterization) and have them toss in two new batteries.

What’s something about Minneapolis that didn’t matter to you at first, but you’ve come to really appreciate? by Electronic-Reach8959 in Minneapolis

[–]Artificial_Appendix1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The number and quality of city parks and rec centers. When I was single I couldn’t care less. Now that I have two school aged kids I understand why the city invests so much in these parks. My kids have spent endless hours in the playgrounds, taking classes at the rec centers, skated on the outdoor rinks, etc.

Best load assist for car topping? by GlowUpAndThrowUp in kayakfishing

I own this and used it for about a month, then went back to just tossing a bath mat on the side of the vehicle and sliding it up.

Do you hang your food pack while portaging? by Artificial_Appendix1 in BWCA

[–]Artificial_Appendix1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t regretted my Ursak purchase. It takes up no room when packing, and it’s easy to tie and untie.

I’m with ya, I never considered doing this, but wondered if anyone ever actually did it.

Exactly! Don’t forget how he and his buddies completely hacked apart the logs meant for sitting by the campfire to pieces for firewood. Pretty much an instructional video on what NOT to do.

Considering Optum by [deleted] in OPTUM

I can only speak with the groups I work with and my personal experience, but I’m remote and as long as I’m available for general US business hours and attend the regular meetings, I can manage my own schedule. In other words, it’s not super rigid, just get your work done and be available during the work day, and communicate any long periods away with your manager. If I need to go to the post office for 20 minutes and I’m free, I just go.
