I have a fish trap guide and I love it. It is nice and light and easy to pull out by hand and it fits all my gear. The only problem I have is in windy conditions. Friday I was out on Minnewaska and I dont know what the wind gusts were but they were pretty strong. My fishtrap was flapping around and making all kinds of noises. It sounded like it was going to tear in half, and I couldn't keep the front end down unless I kept my feet up on the bottom poles. My question is: Are all of these pullover type shelters the same in this regard? Is there a brand that is better in the wind? I am thinking that maybe the otters because of thier weight would be a little better, but then are they too heavy to pull out by hand? One last question: Are the 3 man units better in the windy conditions(because of the added weight)or are they worse(because they are higher profile). I really like my Guide but I would switch if there were a shelter that could do it all. Thanks, Dave
there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
We get eggs from locals who have chickens. The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it. Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.
Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store. Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences. I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago. Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.
