Always been a dream of mine. Im still young and have a great place to build. Once I did alot of research and developed a solid business plan, even had up to $750,000 in forgiveable loans and another $400,000 in cash if needed. I backed out very quick when I could see my wifes enthusiasm wane for the outdoors. No way am I choosing canp life over her and my kids. So now the plan is a nice cabin on the same lake, with future prospect of adding a few cabins or outposts later on. My cousin owns a camp and caters to the rich. Our family basically built half the camp for free. Hes laughing all the way to the bank because his clients are all return customers, rich, and would rather drink and smoke cigars than fish. Another friend owns a camp on wine lake near ear falls. Built it slowly with cash turnaround. Lives a wicked nice life on the lake but thats mainly because he didnt borrow. He used income to grow every few years and stopped around 7 cabins I believe. To boost his business he also rents out the cabins as get aways in the winter. And these are luxury cabins. Hot tubs etc. He lives a wicked life

What??????? No 55"? Lol

I enjoy lunkerville. Ill watch linders angling edge too. Do that still show that or the next bite? Somebody needs to pick up thise young chaps with the youtube channel, the name escapes me but they are FUN to watch and I love their enthusiasm

Sooo much to try and it keeps things fresh for the family You boys can chef it up! And you can never go wrong with crappie, EVER!!!!

Sounds great bigger Cliff? Your not the only one interested in that cabbage haha. I pmed spiel immediatley after he posted ?

Broccoli/bacon/cheese salad Deviled eggs Fried bread/bannock Will all be made today to make it a lil easier lol

Oh man Spiel thats gonna be great!!! No cooking for me until tomorrow. Ill post pics when the shenanigans settle. 30 or so family members coming for the day tomorrow lol. So Ill be very bust cooking about 15 different dishes. I gotta make good food for the kids, then seperate dishes for the adults. And its always tough because the aboriginal side loves food as it is. The italian/ukranian/norwegian side wants superfoods seasoned to perfection lol

I hope you all have a great day and weekend, with your families and loved ones!!!! I hope you all stocked up on ibuprophen and toothbrushes!!!! HAPPY EASTER!

Looks like ottawa is laying a thump on the caps

Hahaha. When I worked for weyehaueser sawmill in ear falls we used to ask greenhorns to go fetch the board straightener??? Or glue pop cans on their hard hats to see how high we could get before they noticed. All fun and games

Suckers and pike are going nuts up here on Rainy river

I use facebook and im not even sure how many friends I have on there? Maybe like 50? They are almost all friends I conversate with regularily or I can keep in easy touch when they move. I also have family on there that live away from me. Its a great way to keep in touch IMO. also I do post alot of pictures, but thats for a few reasons. One I have a horrible memory so its nice to look back on once in awhile. two it gives my family a look at what they miss, and vice versa. Kids grow up fast man its nice to see regular pics of nephews nieces etc. and some of its just comedic relief. Alot of funny stuff gets posted on facecrack.

We played alot of mean jokes in the oil field. I once got sent on a 16 hour security shift to the middle of nowhere at a lease site that hadn't been used in years. That was cool though cause 1)I still got payed for it. 2)because I seen a bunch of caribou for the first time ever. Another guy got lifted about 8 feet off the ground with a loader while in the can. He was very mad We got a guy to operate a skid steer without any instructions at all. We all sat in the tower laughing for hours???. It took him a good 40 minutes just to figure out it wouldnt start until the harness was down(he was a computer type of guy). Once he got it fired he zig zaged and rocked back and for the whole trip(which was about 300 yards but took him a good hour to get there) Maybe you just have a different sense of humor old ironmaker? Nothing wrong with that either?

Mmmmmmmm

Thats gotta be a weird feeling Lew. Sounds like your taking it in stride though?. Your obviously proud of your service and that makes me proud of you? And im sure the salt water ski tasted GREAT!????

We had a draw at work a few years back and one of the prizes was a new iphone.this younger lad I worked with was constantly on his iphone and we razzed him about it pretty hard. So anyhow for an april fools joke myself and my boss came up with an idea. So hes off working and he used to leave his phone on my tool area in the shop. I took out the chip and waited patiently for him to return and get upset. When he did, I teased him abit that I had it and I smashed his phone with a forklift. Man was he MAD!!! We calmed him down telling him it was only a joke because he had won the draw for a new iphone. Then he was stoked. Problem was the draw didnt happen until the end of that work day? Imagine his face when I won the draw??? Anyhow we razzed him abit before the boss told him it was all set up and he had already bought him a new phone with a year of free service.

Haha

What is her whip made out of????

Uggh I wish I could try that right now spiel. Looks fantastic?

Imagine what hasnt been filmed if he cruising his own pond in a 21ft bass boat??? hes probably hit the ejector seat a few times dry docking his boat lol

Im assuming that was an autocorrect hahaha. Oh god that made me laugh????

Im not saying its impossible. Its just a huge tease and embellishment thats all. He makes it sound like thats a normal pike. But I suppose thats the "lure" of his show. He does it well enough that I myself still watch? so I shouldnt complain. I swim in big pike territory, maybe ill be the next to get killed by one? After all I wear a perch pattern colorado blade around my neck ???

In the sturgeon episode didnt he also target pike? I remember him saying something about pike getting up to 5 feet long haha.
