Not much luck on Shaver this morning. Rainbows haven't quite turned yet and the Kokanee are spawned out and spent . None the less it was warm and a beautiful day for a boat ride. It seems the lakes at higher elevation are more productive with the colder temps and the fish are triggered to feed...

Love that place and the little step back in time. Kayaked under that bridge plenty of time then we pull out at A. W. Way

C&R around 30 bows and browns at Wishon yesterday. Small fish, but used super light rods to enhance the action. Getting cold up here! Winterizing my buddies cabin at Shaver Lake today then gonna see what she has to offer on the downriggers.

Love that whole zone! My stomping grounds if you will. Both Big River and Albion offer beautiful paddles up stream. You plan the tides and get pushed up, slack, then pulled back out to the ocean. Great fishing/crabbing at Albion mouth. Noyo is a great paddle as well. Good call on the off season...

An old favorite that always sounds good. "The Fisherman" Amazing how Leo can tell such an amazing story without even opening his mouth.

That looks divine.

May be worth load testing the batteries just to eliminate that as an issue. If any of them have ever dropped to 50% they have been compromised. I have AGM batteries in my off grid cabin that are 12 years old and still getting it done with vigor. They have never been discharged below 50%. I...

What type of batteries are you using for the house? Most (non LiPo) batteries don't like sitting for long periods of time. A trickle charge (solar comes to mind) helps keep things topped off. Most systems have a parasitic load somewhere, somehow unless a disconnect is inline. A standard truck...

Nice!

You probably already know this from your hiking and day trips, but please be mindful about the footprint you leave behind. Nothing sucks the beauty out of mother nature more than the signs that her biggest predator (humans) had been there before you. Pack your trash, tread lightly and respect...

We run these: Portable Folding Step Have worked well on a variety of terrain, are really light weight, easily deployed and affordable. They are the perfect height and stride to enter and exit our rig. Wide steps, that are easy to aim for, non slip and did I mention very light. Holding up well...

Sun through the clouds is stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely heavenly, thanks for sharing. That made me take a deep breath and a long exhale.

Thanks guys! I will do a little more detective work on it this weekend. Got back late Sunday night and been back to work all week. I will update my findings.

It is possible that I spilled water in the burner, but it seems that if I turn off the flame the hissing would go away rather quickly??? I have not turned the gas back on yet, but will try it (with burner off) and see if the hissing returns, indicating a leak in the fittings.

Last weekend we camped at the lake. I got up at 0 dark 30 to fish and got my coffee going. While heating the water the flame went yellow and stove began making a hissing sound. I immediately turned off the burner but the hissing continued (dang it, all I wanted to do is go fishing!). I quickly...

Picked up some rainbows from my honey hole yesterday. Crowds have thinned out and the fall season is upon us! Some nice slabs for the smoker.

We carry two Oru kayaks everywhere we go. Fit right in the back seat. They also make a tandem model. Had them for four years now. Still no leaks and we have not babied them at all. We paddle year round even on snowy lakes. We will get the same boats when these ones fail. Extremely satisfied with...

"Can I take it down to Baja?" Yes Will you make it back? ???? That set up with that overhang, No Bueno. Cuidado 40 years of running the roads in Mex. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Our rig will cruise along very comfortably at 80mph. That said, we have found the staying around 65 is the best balance for speed and fuel economy. We get a steady 16.3mpg. Often we are towing the boat so need to stay at 55-58 (at least in CA).

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice!

Great rig! Looks like you got all the bells and whistles. Good call on the F350, and I admire how FWCs fit Fords like a glove. Sticks out a fuzz on my Chevy.

+ 1 on the Super Springs. They only engage when there is a load on the truck. So no negative affects on an empty rig.

Sad but true. I see increasing evidence of this every year. I have compassion for the future generations of man, beast and the environment. I have (and still do) make the best of it and enjoy the amazing outdoors whenever I can. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to dance with...

Everything we need lives in the camper. Perhaps because our camper stays on full time and is only used for camping or day adventures. We just load food, clothes and liquids and off we go. Takes the worry away knowing everything is there and nothing is left behind. At the end of every trip we...
