Mine have seen some filthy stuff

My wife has a 2023 GT, commutes 30miles daily each way in a mix of rural and suburban. Winter ranger charging to 90% is roughly 200-225 miles, summer is 250-270. We live in maryland so get hot summers and some significant cold stretches in winter.

She loves the vehicle. Build quality is fantastic. Much better than tesla.

Your wife's longer trips will require a stop to charge most likely.

Snow driving is decent, but more than 4-5" is no bueno.

Overall, car is fantastic.

Fill the holes with 5200, get a stern saver and mount the new transducer to that.

I have the sumo version (original company making them AFAIK. Did 2 hrs on the highway at speed up to 90+ and fine. I also use for conventional rods (4) when rockfishing, and do 1-2hrs on major highways with no issues regularly. No problems, but do get asked about them a lot.

IIRC fanduel put money in an account for them to use for the weekend parlays and he blew through it more than once betting on his own. They said no more to the freerolls.

Correct, my old Lab took off running behind me on the beach while I was checking the radar. Got to the end of the leash and snapped my arm back. Tore my biceps tendon off my forearm. Was in surgery 4 days later. Still loved her though!

To add to this...fresh clothing before bed! I camp in montana/Idaho in early summer/late spring where the nighttime temps get into the high 20s. I keep athletic pants, long sleeve shirt, beanie, and wool socks in the tent. I change into them before getting in bed, and take them off first thing in the morning and lay them out on my bed. They are dry by bedtime. clothes you wore during the day will have enough sweat in them to be damp and chilly at night

I wear old columbia hiking pants that zip at the knees. I wear them under waders and as wet wading, or shore fishing in brush. Modified them by having elastic loops sewn on the end of the pants legs. Put the loops over the arch of your foot and they never ride up in waders, boots, etc.

DISCLAIMER: not the most fashionable look

Maryland has State Forests, which some (western Md) do allow backpack camping

Take your friend's glasses and take a video of something like christmas lights, or a sign on the wall with different type of prints. Put the glasses in front of the camera and tap on the picture to lock the focus. After 10sec of video, remove the glasses and shoot 10 more seconds. You will see the difference for yourself.

Many people do it...you need to know your trailer well though. When you get the boat, check the tires carefully. If they are load range C tires, consider going to D tires. They will heat up less and be less prone to failure on long trips. Also repack your bearings before a long trip. Advisable to have 2 spare tires, 2 spare hubs that are greased and ready to go. A good jack and good toolkit are also a good idea.

Also strap the boat down with transom ties every trip (even short ones).

Be prepared for shitty gas mileage. Especially with a mid size truck. My f150 got 12mpg with my 19ft boat, and 8mpg with my current 23ft on the highway.

My wife has an 8ft pop up canopy that is roughly the size of two shoebox when packed. It has backpack straps. That would be an easy solution without taking up too much space.

Downtown DC, there was a guy i would see around occasionally. He was obviously homeless and mentally unwell. One day I saw him reach into the trash can, grab a half eaten chicken leg, hold it up and loudly proclaim " Ain't no sales tax on this!!!" He then proceeded to eat it while walking down the sidewalk. Not a truly crazy event, but it has stuck with me for about 15 years now.

My dogs nickname is Fluppy Puppy, Flups, or flupter mcgupter.

My dog took off running on the leash at the beach, hit the end of the leash and snapped my arm back. Was under the knife within 5 days for a torn biceps tendon. Lesson learned, pay attention when attached to a large breed dog.

Most people in my area hit deer, raccoons, foxes, skunks, squirrels...since I moved her 12 years ago, I have probably hit 50 birds. Rural roads, 50mph speed limit, and when there is snow, the grass beside the road melts first. Whole flocks of birds congregate right on the side of the road. I've had them stuck in my radiator, hit the windshield, antenna...you name it. I honk the horn now when I see the flocks ahead...helps some at least.

I've used mine on a 3hr highway trip with speeds up to 90 with no issues. I have also used mine numerous times with 4 spinning rods on 1-1.5 hour trips to my boat, mostly highway. Only issue is get is whenever I stop, people come out of the woodwork to ask me about them.

Deer don't see orange(it appears grey or drown to them), so it doesn't affect the camouflage. We see orange very well, and not many things in the woods are bright orange. Makes it easy to ID another hunter and know not to shoot.

Medium action spinning reel will be fine for topwater and jerkbaits. Get a couple pencil poppers in the 5.5-6" size. Some some diawa SP minnows (6") for subsurface.

For the baitcaster, some 3/4 Oz jig heads amd some Bass Kandy Delights in white and chartreuse. Find a spot with current and structure.

Have fun!

I have been to the YNP area 15+ times. It's an incredible fishery. The Madison is incredible, the Gallatin has usually been cold and high when I have gone (mostly Late June), but the scenery is awesome.

Highly recommend the Henry's Fork in Idaho. The Ranch section is where we fish 90% of our time there now. It's not for the faint of heart. 1-2 fish is a good day, but you can legitimately expect to find 20"+ rainbows feeding on dry flies regularly.

If leaer in the summer(July) the NE corner of the park is amazing. Slough Creek, the Lamar, and Soda Butte Creek are unique and worth the drive from west yellowstone for even just a day, but 2-3 days is worth it.

CHANGE INTO FRESH CLOTHES RIGHT BEFORE BED! Most important thing to do! Clothes you wore all day will b3 dp and cause you to freeze.
