^ Tried to learn fly fishing in Patagonia, takes practice. In the meantime, I paddled Hell's Bay in the Everglades National Park. Awesome place for a scary movie.

This sunday we're going for a week to camp with our caravan to french landes; cycling, long walks, brave beaches and bbq... anything i can't do here (i live near the sea and in the middle of mountains too) but, there is way less humid than here.
At last, my entire month of vacations are going to be reduced to that :(

I like the ring of "outdoorsmanship".
Cycling, trail & road running, swimming.
Every 20+ km run, every 60+ km ride and every 1+ km swim are memorable, until the next of course...

you might not think it, but i'm crazy into bushcraft. grew up in the scouts learning survival stuff. go camping as often as possible
most memorable trip was hiking in the grand canyon, ended up getting helicoptered out

Free rock climbing in Colorado Springs during the summers made me feel like a man when I was younger. Now I amateur circuit race motorcycles (AMA) whenever I can (road racing or flat track dirt), though my favorite being when I entered the drag races on my birthday 4 years ago. I got spanked every race except one but the crowd loved me (for my naivety I think).

I just went fly fishing for the first time on sunday. Was awesome . Might be hooked (badum).
- This is on my short list of things to learn. I was just given a fly rod that was my grandfather's and I'm excited to learn. Glad to hear it's a quick path to fun.melq
- ... to hear it's a short road to fun.melq
- go with someone who has been fishing for a while. worth years of fucking up alone.cannonball1978
- Sound advice. I've been hitting up the old guys for pointers, but am still pretty far away from knowledgeable here.melq
- Follow the 10oclock, 2oclock angles with your rod, a two count for the back cast, two count for the forward cast.cannonball1978
- Cast like you are punching a jab, not like you are swinging a sword. Go from beside your ear and punch forward on the cast.cannonball1978
- Actually catching a fish is all about stalking. Know the right time, what they are feeding on, the water temp, and don't cast a shadowcannonball1978
