I’m not worried about rioters in my street, not one little bit. It’s a pain to find ammo and fishing line these days, seems to be a supply chain issue. Have enough for a fall warmup, and hunting this season. Figure 50-100 rounds is 50-100x more than what most will ever need for self/home defense. I clip is probably more than enough. If you need more than that your way out numbered, and need to bug outa there.

Just go to Hargrove’s and buy the one you like the best. They will give you several good choices, and a casting lesson in the process, if you are willing to listen.

Nice Ken, looked like you packed lightly!

Ammo is hard to come by these days. Lucky if you can pick up 4-5 boxes of stuff you will use. Only keep 12g, 45, and 22lr on hand. Have a few others but that’s what we shoot. Wife’s ccw revolver shoots 7 22lr.

Look at the Calfire website. They take fire seriously out there.

I do not doubt your story LC. Your experience is different than mine. Every weapon can fail. Loved my old REM 1100 from the early 1980’s. Think I bought it at Central Hardware or Grandpa Pigeons.

Love to visit the Hill. Their bread is the best...Fazio's, Vitale, & Missouri Baking. All are icons like Leidenheimer bread for Nawlin's Po Boy's.

Finally got around to trying Marcella Hazen's simple tomatoe sauce recipe. Stinking easy, and thought it was very good. Made some skinless chicken thigh parm, and pan of zucs/squash/ and peppers for the side, tossed the sauce on both. Will do that again. Added the onion to the baked veggies after the sauce was done. Kids Gobbled it up. Wife picked the cheese of the top of the chicken, but liked it too.

If you see a dude in his vehicle backed in to a parking spot, it is probably a closeted gay man looking for random sex. Sad really. Fruits and rainbow hints are other tells.

My Sister’s farm is in Ione, CA. About an hour SE of Sacramento. No big fires in her area thankfully. They have prepared for a fire. All of the eucalyptus trees are gone, and they don’t tolerate scrub brush. Only a couple hundred acre hobby farm. Few trees, so the cattle have pole barns for shade by the water tanks.

I don't think that they prefer trout. Think they will eat what is abundant and available. They eat the stink out out crayfish in the NFoW. But that is usually the most abundant forage in that small river. They are tough fish, just shy of a baby tarpon.

Dunking your tools in water in sub freezing temps never ends well. It will pooch most anything. It does not make the tool bad no matter where it is made. If it is a good weapon for you, it's a good weapon. Would not buy a Rem until the biz gets transferred and all the warranty issues get explained. American made, I don't care, unless it is better quality for a reasonable price.

To many good ones to name five as tops. Haven't seen an iconic movie out of Hollywood in a long time. What is your best in the last 20 years? I really haven't been paying attention. Raising kids, and they dominate the entertainment zone.

I fish the jap stuff mostly, and mostly discontinued colors other than Megabass. Might have to buy some new and send them to get painted at this point only 4-5 deep in my favorite colors with some baits. That won’t last another 30 years.

The no booze in the canoe is an easy dodge, stash a cooler and pick it up downriver. It’s not illegal in MO. Renting canoes can be a hassle in some places. Glad I rarely rent one.

Have a couple ancient .410's in the basement, not really worth selling or keeping. Destined for a stupid politicians gun buy back...May keep the Mossberg bolt 410, with the 3 mag. Only two that I shoot are Bennelli 12, and my dads 12g Spanish Side by Side (Uegarteche). The side by side is super light, only chambers 2 3/4". It is an ugly old beater from the late 1950' or 1960's, but I really like shooting it.
-
Had a Remington 1100, it was a fine gun. First shotgun I ever bought around 1982. Gotta keep em clean, and have a couple extra o-rings just in case.
-
Several snapper species in area. Captain Tom Shadley, Capt Bill, Capt Stark. Good guys. You will be fishing inshore on bay boats/flats skiffs off a platform off the front deck while they pole. $60O for a half day w tip.
-
Would lookup Mangrove Outfitters in Naples, FL if you want to knock a few salt fish off your list. Snook and Jack Crevalle for sure, and a blast on a fly rod. Tarpon and reds are a bit harder to come by. Might land 1 tarpon in 4-5 hookups on a fly rod. A 15-40lb tarpon perfect, bigger is friggin chore!
-
Worms work for suckers. Worm weight, swivel, leader, and a hook. Catch them on flies occasionally, they fight pretty well.
-
Looks like fun. Gold eye are surface feeders. I don’t fish for them but I catch them on topwater flies and plugs.
-
Have a few to choose from but only shoot by Bennelli SBE3, and my .22 break barrel air gun. Long walk through gumboot mud for 3 teal this AM.
-
Fish are moving now, out of tributary streams to the main stems. At the transition where you can no longer see bottom, or they will be buried in logjams near riffles.

Uncle got an over limit at Bennett once, caught his 5th (old limit) and kept on fishing and releasing. Then there is the old change your shirt & hat and go get another limit trout park dodge.
