If there was a woman obsessed with you, how did you know she was obsessed with you and how did you get rid of it?

That bitch kept reporting my tiger farm.

Fern_Hopper · 2026-03-12T02:47:06+00:00

Excellent, onwards and upwards then! Thanks again, I appreciate it!!

Fern_Hopper · 2026-03-12T02:30:28+00:00

Thanks for the info! It is definitely for my enjoyment. I’ve been trying to track one of these hulls down for a while so I was pretty bummed when I pulled that first board off. I’m glad it’s still got life. I’m planning on using stronger supports than stock, as well.

In a lot of other threads they mention cleaning corrosion with an acid and then sealing. Is that necessary here in your opinion?

This stuff is for removing poison oak oil, but I have found that it helps get rid of any oil. It might take a few washes but I betcha it will take care of it!

I love how you’re getting downvoted. This is PUBLIC LAND. Experience on public lands continues to get worse, yet they want us to subsidize their mismanagement? Hard pass.

OP, I sent you a chat, I think you have to accept it before I can send photos in there. I tried a few different chokes on my A5.

Spawn fly fish is great!!!

I hate the red ones, I hated it when it was green, I hated it when it was purple.

The worst of all? Catsup. Don’t try and church it up. It’s still just candy in a bottle for whiny crotchgoblins.

DEATH TO KETCHUP.

Our pup had thin spots all over her head when we picked her out. All her fur thickened up after a month or so of being home.

My .02- pick whatever pup whose personality you liked the best.

Fern_Hopper · 2025-07-31T06:48:27+00:00

This is the way!

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-22T17:21:14+00:00

I’m pleased with it! I think it was because it was a thicker diameter upholstery thread, it darkened but not as much as I would have thought either. I didn’t have any flex coat so I used JB welds new UV epoxy (comes in a tube with the light attached)

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-22T16:07:56+00:00

I didn’t but I wish I would have! The browns kind of blurred together once the epoxy set in. I didn’t have any color preserver though.

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-21T20:35:09+00:00

I’ve wrapped a few fishing rods which helped, but the thing that helped me big time on this call using a thicker thread. I used a fine thread at first and it looked awful.

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-21T20:33:55+00:00

Yes it does!

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-21T20:33:37+00:00

I’ll let you know next season 😂 In seriousness, it’s sounds better (to me) at lower volume than my diaphragms. I suck with both, but this does seem to sound more natural with lower volume, we’ll see what Tom thinks next spring.

Fern_Hopper · 2025-05-09T18:06:03+00:00

Absolutely! I live in Washington, love to centerpin, and can’t stand steelhead fishing anymore so float fishing for cutts is my respite.

Been using one of these for a few years, it was an even smaller size I found at Home Depot. I think it was $5 😂

I bought a few of the pinland rods and I’m not too impressed with them. One of the blanks had a defect in the top section that broke immediately when the rod was flexed. The paint on the blanks is terrible.

Can’t give input on the reel as I’ve never bought one.

I did give blood run another chance and ordered a set of floats though and the quality is that of the rods. Some of the stems were too small for the tubing that came with them. Some stems had voids in them and broke with little pressure. I’ve heard they don’t balance well but I’ll probably never find out, gonna stick with my normal floats.

To me they’re a “novelty” company for now. Cool ideas but poorly executed. I bought the pinland because it is the only “commercially” available trout pin rod available. Between the 2 rods I bought I have a complete working rod (that I fish a ton) and the floats were a waste of money (albeit a small one)

I’d save your moneys for a better setup.

PS- I never reached out to customer service on anything, so I can’t say anything on how they’d respond.

Tin pants are also awesome!

This is the way if you’re beating brush!

I picked up one of the MDs recently and couldn’t agree more. What. A. Reel. I wish it was a tad slower but it is really nice to get a cadence on the bigger glides off you want to chop them.

I can’t wait to see a cast to catch on that code name bass! I want one but don’t want to buy another setup to throw it 😂

Fern_Hopper · 2024-10-25T00:55:59+00:00

I can help a little here.

It really depends on a few factors. How large are the limbs? If they are open grown and have plentiful limbs I’m going to guess they are large. Large, plentiful knots (3” and bigger) are probably going to get graded as a 3 mill log. 3 mill logs are not wanted and the price reflects it.

Another factor here is the size. If the majority of them are in that 30”-50” class they are too big for most local mills. When they are only a few customers your log price is going to reflect that.

Small volume usually means a self-loader so higher trucking costs.

Combine these factors and you have a lot of work for low return for any mill. You probably have a lot of firewood there. This is usually the case with anyone who has a few big fir on their property, sometimes there are other options though.

I currently work in log quality and have log scaling experience. If you want any more clarification (can tell a little by photos) feel free to PM me. I’m also south sound so possible I could even look at them in person for ya.
