What's your thinking about Waylon Jennings or Alison Kraus or something like that while the fire gets lower and you sip your whisky?

You really lead quite the life Phil. Nice video.

Roll up table is what I use. They are great.

Equipment adds: A table. Civilized man deserves a table to cook and eat on. A lantern. The better to see with. A tarp for over the table to keep the dew off and if it rains at all, you will feel like one of the most fortunate people on the planet. A comfortable chair. A stove to make your coffee with in the morning and to cook on too. Sure fire will work, but a stove is just so convenient. A grate to cook on over the fire. For meat and such. A dutch oven. Civilized men like biscuits and gravy on the riverbank. And sometimes ribs and beans. You just never know. A folding shovel. For sanitation and also for dutch oven cooking. Music, for when the sun is down, the fire is on and the whiskey is out. Not for blaring all day but for adding that magic touch that some of the good stuff adds. I carry an Ipod in a little speaker case.

When fishing tournaments go to netting fish in a rubber net, photoing them in the net, and weighing them in the net and then releasing fish from the net, then I might have an ounce of respect for C&R tournaments and tournament anglers.

My grandson who is a senior in High School has decided this is the year he needs to experience opening day at Bennett. I hope my fingers don't fall off. We'll be there come hell, high water or a little bit of ice in the guides. Low of 22, high of 34. Sounds lovely.

Here's my take on the whole deal. If somebody gets an idea on how to run a legal business and make some money at it, write me down as 100% in favor. I run a couple of for profit businesses, that's the way I intended it and that's the way it is and I don't care if it harelips the pope. You'll soon find out if you're any good at taking care of customers if you want to actually stay in business AND make money while you're at it. Bassin' Bob, more power to you Sir. And good luck with the fishing too. BTW, it sounds to me like your actual customers are pretty happy. So seriously, good luck.

Come on you guys, "Hillbilly Blood" is real. The reality of reality shows is they are cheap to make and enough people watch them to make them profitable. When that stops, something else will come along. But not until.

Where's the other 192?

I saw that on another website. Pretty amazing what man can do to screw things up without even really trying. We have this really big blind spot when it comes to that law of unintended consequences.

I like to have a place to hang a tarp and set a table up under it. I like to have a place to hang my little Coleman lantern. Firewood is a plus. Most of the streams I float, that's not normally a problem. Fall camping watch for a place with a lot of leaves. Pitching your tent on a pile of leaves is right next to heaven. Pick a place that has a whipporwill to sing to you in the morning. Pick a place that has bats to entertain you as the sun goes down. And then life is complete.

That's a nice filleting size fish right there.

Nope, that really is all there is to it.

Ham don't need to tell stories. If he says he caught 100, he caught 100. Counts them on a clicker. And if he says he caught big ones, well then he caught big ones. And that's just all there is to it.

I think I know where he caught that one. In the corner of the mouth. I got an idea what he caught him on too. That old brown pole over there.

No attachments showing for me.

No response to e-mails either.

I looked just like that lady who fell when I wrecked my shoulder on 12/7/13, maybe fell a little harder. I hope she's OK.

My Labs were always pets as well as working dogs. The best setter I ever hunted over was a pet. The best Brittany I ever hunted over was a pet. My best Russells were and are pets. I'm one that believes in the bond between man and dog and the stronger the better for working dogs. That means they spend as much time as possible with you, day in and day out.

Nice, thanks for the pics.

Well then.

I'd just drill it and shoot a small screw in it if it bugged me that bad. That will stop it from moving from now until you take the screw out.

That right there is why I now own a Shawnee. Sure it will see Taneycomo and the White and so on. But it will spend most of the rest of it's days floating the Ozarks, taking me, my friends and most importantly my grandsons along to enjoy and really live in God's green earth. Great video Phil, thanks for posting it.

Nice Trip Ham, appreciate the report.
