  • You can buy like $50 kits or go on Craigslist and look for someone selling their impulse bought gear.

    Add in a license fee and even then it’s not too bad for time killing hobby.

    I think when I first got into it I was put off thinking I’d need like the finest $3k in orvis gear and I’d need to buy $10 flies at my local shops.

    Like there’s a weird bougie-classist feeling I think a lot of people have which turns them off of trying to get into the sport.






  • When I was a kid I bought an eel from the local Chinese grocery store. We went away one weekend and came back to it dried up and covered in hair on the floor. I thought it was dead because it was so dried out but the thing was still kicking when I went to bag it.




  • It always blows my mind that we’re such a car centric hellhole but when I was in college living in an apartment I’d have to sneak to work on my car because there wasn’t any DIY garages and it was against lease terms to work on cars on the property.

    I’d have to wait until 5/6 at night right before it got dark and rush to change my oil or brakes before it got too dark to see.

    These days I give my younger coworkers the pin and 24/7 access to my garages if they want to work on their cars or any projects really.
