    Hey buddy, I lost my 13 year old son on April 22 I just want to thank you for making a clean channel for us to enjoy together. We loved watching you, the wooded beardsman, and Greg ovens. I just want you all to know you touched the life of a wonderful young man.I also mailed a letter and a couple photos to Fowler’s makers and mischief.

      Thought the same after working in retail when I was younger, that really annoyed me (still does when I see it shopping) when you find a steak not just on a random unrefrigerated shelf but actually hidden behind something, I mean is it too difficult to put it back where you picked it up or if you are lazy which you are if you just dump stuff take it the till when you checkout and hand it in there to have a staff member return it for you. Rant over lol.

      A bunch of long flexy twigs, 1/4" w strips of D-tape & you've got a simple funnel type fish trap, make hoops of graduated sizes, weave 3-4 sticks through the rings, alternating, then use the strips of tape to add more . Could use floss but tying tiny knots with cold hands... Not so much.

    Few thoughts...
    The outer layer of the tape probably had to be put in the opposite direction, so that it doesn't open the seams when dragged against the water flow. Additionally when seams are open (as seen on the video) it may create an extra drag to slow you down.

    You have enough safety pins to make an excellent treble hook... in fact, you were more than halfway there! Twist three more safety pins upside down just above the hooks. The idea is to have it function just about like a snap clip carabiner.
    Since the Spring Loop is already made in the safety pins, this should be easy enough to accomplish. It may even help to keep the hook more weedless too!
    Goodonya and happy adventuring!
