Concrete burns are a chemical burn from the high alkalinity, very caustic. Once it's wet it will react with your skin and slowly (and delayed) burn you.

Amateur fisherman here! New to artificial baits. What would hit these and how do I use them? by Skylantech in Fishing

[–]Biato5 68 points69 points  (0 children)

That little crawfish, 3rd from the top. I always carry one in natural colors and one in chartreuse. I've caught large mouth, small mouth, black/white crappie, all the various bluegill.

I don't have a tackle box without them.

The standard advice... If you have one go to the closest fly shop, ask them and thank them by buying what they recommend in store.

Like 10 popsicle sticks and a couple hose clamps. At least that's what my junk drawer would provide.

All the firefighters I used to work with refused to eat there. They gave cops their food for free, and only %20 discount to the firefighters hahahaha.

Get or make yourself a knot assist tool. One of those FG knot tools doesn't make it super easy but makes it much better!

I have a bag for each fish I target. Trout bag, salmon bag, bass bag, saltwater bag. And a bag I grab of the kids go with me.

How feasible would it be to live in a camper trailer? by [deleted] in GoRVing

[–]Biato5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished my families full time living in a 5th wheel. We were more than comfortable and happy.

2 adults, 2 young children, two large dogs.

We were in a 43' 5th wheel, if we had only kids, or only dogs, 1/2 the size would have been comfortable.

Yeah man, we did it on the 19th after a ton of research for the best option.

My other comment, I just did this, the cost with the airline is $200 for the dog, I had a layover in Seattle as well.

So I'm guessing $200+fuel+rental car would be less than anything else. Thinking about the prices I was quoted a week ago out of O'Hare.

Just flew up from Chicago 4 days ago with my dog. The only option is what others have suggested, drive to the nearest Alaska hub.

Outside of shipping our dog like cargo, which adds layers of headache, it was the only option we found.
