Perfect….I’ve got a bunch of windshield time coming this fall and the podcasts are one of my favorite ways to pass the time.
Great stuff — A late season fishing trip/early season bird hunt out there is a trip that is near the top of my bucket list.
Tim — These are the pants:
The Upland Briar Shirt is what I used all season on top.
How’s the grouse/woodcock forecast looking up there?
My whips:
’05 4Runner — 176K miles, no problems.
’10 Sequoia — Big and accomodates the whole family
’02 Landcruiser — The King of SUV’sI’ve got nothing but good things to say about the Toyota SUV’s.
I have to praise the John Graves book Goodbye to a River anytime outdoor books are brought up. It truly is a great American read. He has this really beautiful narrative style, an excellent writer. The book has become one of my favorites period. (I may have to read it again now, just posting about it!) Here’s part of the wiki clip on Goodbye to a River:
It is a “semi-historical” account of a canoe trip made by the author during the fall of 1957 down a stretch of the Brazos River in North Central Texas, between Possum Kingdom Dam and Lake Whitney. The book presents both the author’s account of the trip itself and numerous stories about the history and settlement of the area around the river and of North Central Texas. The title refers to Graves’ childhood association with the river and the country surrounding it, and his fear of the “drowning” effect that a proposed series of flood-control dams (most notably, Lake Granbury) would have on the river.Great book — I’ve made the trek from PK to Whitney in a series of kayak trips, which made re-reading the book much more interesting.
Zach — If you enjoyed “The Tiger” give the “Man-eaters of Kumaon” a try. It is an excellent read that has stayed under the radar for some unknown reason. It is a read you will not regret or soon forget.
Justin — Great post, very informative. How long have you been down in Argentina? I’ve wanted to make the trek to Argentina since I was in Jr. High. My brother did mission work in Argentina for several months back in 2009 and he fell in love with the people and places of the country.
I’ve loved fly fishing, horses and shooting birds my whole life — From what I understand, Argentina is world class in all three categories.
I’ve ridden some nice imported polo ponies from your neck of the woods over the years (visiting the Argentine Open is also on my bucket list).
Thanks again!
