Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Well i caught dinner and a couple huge fish which i released(will have pics soon). I plan on going out again today but i wanted to mention how crappy iphones are for the outdoorsman. In less then an hour of being outside the iphone stops working because of the cold. I am afraid to see what would happen if it actually was exposed to moisture. You all know how crappy the battery life is on these things but for an outdoorsman these pfones are almost useless. My iphone is an iphone3 i think-are any of the newer iphones any more resiliant? I like taking pictures and texting with iphones but for me it does not work when i need it the most. My son and i were icefishing and i caught a huge and very colorful pumpkinseed sunfish but i could not take a picture because the phone had frozen up. My wife calls me a million times then starts freaking out caus i dont answer but i never got the call caus the phone froze up.... Anyone know of a phone that i can use for testing and taking pictures and it wont freez up like an iphone?

Well a good icefishing season is coming to an end. This year was the best in a while because we actually had ice which even now is safe to fish on. I will be adding some new pics soon including a Trophy pike that is now hanging on my wall. Im going out today to enjoy the last days of this season-hope i catch a bunch for dinner and will post more pics if i do.

Yay the ice is back. Had a great time out there today catching lots of fish with a couple armenian friends. I really like being able to put people on the fish and seeing how happy they are when catching.

Global warming strikes again. 60degrees in January. Bye bye safe ice.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Went to chek the ice today on a local lake today but ended up going for a swim instead. I walked around the lake but as i started walking out deeper the ice buckled under me and in i went. Cut my hand on the sharp ice climbing out but made it. Guess ill have to wait a few more days..

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

I bet you had a good view from there. I have lost a lot of weight since my back has allowed me to start working out again but i would still turn that seat into scrap metal instantly. I plan on doing a lot of fishing this winter so i will post some pretty piks when i get them. Hopefully i will make it up to the upper peninsula of michigan this year, many wonderful scenes there.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

My tired legs need the break on longer treks. I can see where these wouldn't be ideal for fishing though, especially on ice.
I don't know what max weight is but they don't feel flimsy and they should be fine up to at least 200lb. It was great on my last camping trip... Sometimes you end somewhere truly awesome and just want to stay a while.

Re: Outdoor Sports (hunting, fishing...)

Nah i dont use chairs much outside. I sit on my bucket while icefishing or i lay down in the woods behind some brush while hunting. I am a big guy so i am careful about what i sit on.

No, not cheap, but you don't always want the synthetic wicking stuff... Wool/down is still best sometimes.

I'm loving these chairs, btw: Alite Monarch Have you tried them?
