WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)
Although I appreciate the border research Ryan has done for me, I cannot pledge my vote in his favor. The prestigious award in question has been awarded to me on both my trips to Canada. I would argue that their should be some sort of exclusion policy for me, but that would get shot down. Ryan will argue that anyone who loses their passport a week before the trip should automatically be awarded the honor. I disagree. I believe my RESOLVE has been shown here. I have been through hell this week looking for that passport. Fighting tooth and nail to somehow get there. And wouldn't you know.... my boys and I will be making the journey to Canada.
ReplyDeleteNow, what Ryan did is probably the worst thing you could do to a brother Don't compare this to Troy and Trent. Troy is trying to help his younger brother through a difficult time in his life. Ryan is simply throwing his younger brother under the bus.
I cannot speak for my boys. Each is his own young man. But I am going to cast my vote as an example for them on how you treat a brother. I encourage you all to do the same.
I think Walleye Killer's recent acts have on behalf of my son-in-law and 2 grandsons have offset his moment if indiscretion regarding his brother's incomplete disclosure. Who knows what else might occur during our week. And, by the way, I thought WTF was for events during camp. I really don't think any events prior to 7/12/13 should have any bearing on who is the dubious recipient
ReplyDeleteSweet Mother Mary. What in the hell is this. You didn't fight tooth and nail for jack. I made a phone call this morning after you have given up the fight. Hell this guy took my Rods out of his Rod case and brought them to Dad's house on Saturday. He didn't think there was any way he could be going to Canada. He also told his boys,"well fellas, you are now Browns fans...there is always next year." Anyone who ignores the pleas from the meeting and a friendly reminder from Baker, needs to be in consideration. I am not at all worried. You see this is just step one of winning the award for Theron. There are undoubtedly many opportunities for items to get broken, go into the river, into beaver huts....just the beginning.
ReplyDeleteYou folks should look to Fishfinder as an example of reasonable human thought. That is a stand-up guy.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you fishfinder, but I need to do what I can in advance to avoid this award. It may be my only chance to NOT win it. I truly believe it is in my nature to screw up in Canada. :o).
ReplyDeleteFor the record, you all should know Walleye Killer is a big reason my boys and I are on our way to Canada. I will explain later. Thanks a bunch Ryan.
Cant wait to see you all this Friday. Canada 2013 is gonna be a blast.
