Episode Transcript

[0:00:21 – 0:00:28] Erik: Hello and welcome to Tumble Home, a Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:00:30 – 0:00:34] Erik: I am Eric, joined as always by my good friend Adam.
[0:00:34 – 0:00:35] Erik: Hello, Adam.
[0:00:35 – 0:00:36] Erik: Hello, Eric.
[0:00:37 – 0:00:37] Adam: Hello.
[0:00:37 – 0:00:39] Adam: It’s good to be back in studio.
[0:00:41 – 0:00:43] Adam: V. With a mic in hand.
[0:00:43 – 0:00:47] Adam: Yeah, we got the classic old handheld mic scenario going here.
[0:00:47 – 0:00:52] Adam: I thought about bringing the whole arms, but it seemed unnecessary.
[0:00:52 – 0:00:56] Erik: You get those at the perfect angle with the perfect tightness on the screws in.
[0:00:56 – 0:00:57] Adam: Yeah, I don’t want to mess with that.
[0:00:57 – 0:00:59] Adam: Might as well just leave them.
[0:00:59 – 0:01:08] Erik: So, yeah, we are down in Studio V. Before we get to sponsors, we’re just taking a bit of a break.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:12] Erik: from the Sigurd Olsen series.
[0:01:12 – 0:01:15] Erik: I promise we’ll finish in the third part.
[0:01:16 – 0:01:16] Erik: Hmm, maybe.
[0:01:17 – 0:01:18] Erik: I really hope we can.
[0:01:19 – 0:01:24] Erik: I think we’ll probably just push it to get it all done because I don’t think this is a nice point to break at any point.
[0:01:24 – 0:01:27] Adam: I got a lot of questions, though, and a few conspiracy theories.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:28] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:29] Erik: Episode three is always the…
[0:01:30 – 0:01:32] Adam: Episode four is just going to be Sigurd Olsen conspiracies.
[0:01:32 – 0:01:33] Adam: Conspiracy theories.
[0:01:35 – 0:01:37] Erik: CIA, FBI, LBJ?
[0:01:38 – 0:01:39] Erik: Uh, yeah.
[0:01:39 – 0:01:47] Erik: So this is, uh, we, we, we’re kind of shoehorning this episode in, uh, for mainly because of, uh, its content.
[0:01:48 – 0:02:04] Erik: Um, but also just because it’s kind of just nice to get a little bit caught up on some correspondence, uh, maybe recap kind of our last couple of weeks, maybe just the last weekend more than anything else.
[0:02:05 – 0:02:05] Erik: Um,
[0:02:05 – 0:02:07] Adam: Yeah, we had a special guest.
[0:02:07 – 0:02:08] Adam: We had multiple special guests.
[0:02:09 – 0:02:17] Erik: Yeah, we did, and we’re not 100% sure how much of that is ever going to see the light of day, but… We recorded some real gibberish in the field.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:21] Adam: Yeah, some stuff that… We shouldn’t release most of it, I would say.
[0:02:21 – 0:02:21] Adam: We really shouldn’t.
[0:02:22 – 0:02:23] Adam: We might include some.
[0:02:23 – 0:02:36] Erik: Yeah, so before we start really going off the rails and rambling, we should say that this episode, as every episode, is sponsored by…
[0:02:37 – 0:02:40] Erik: Our good friends on Patreon.
[0:02:41 – 0:02:42] Erik: Thank you.
[0:02:42 – 0:02:43] Erik: If you really want to know…
[0:02:47 – 0:03:09] Erik: what it sounds like to be out on the ice with a couple of clowns become a pop and a wheeler you get bonus access to some episodes and that is probably the only place that what we recorded from last weekend that is that’s probably the only place it’ll ever go i don’t even know if i want the pop and the wheelers here and some of that stuff yeah i know
[0:03:09 – 0:03:13] Adam: Some real top secret tips out there that I’m not sure we should let out.
[0:03:13 – 0:03:20] Erik: Top secret tips is about as hardcore of a euphemism as I think you could possibly come up with.
[0:03:20 – 0:03:25] Adam: By top secret tips, you mean like very graphic and vulgar language.
[0:03:26 – 0:03:28] Adam: Basically, you know, at the end of the day.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:32] Adam: When I get out in the sun like that, I can’t be liable for what I say.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:33] Adam: Yeah, exactly.
[0:03:34 – 0:03:35] Adam: It was too much sunshine.
[0:03:35 – 0:03:36] Adam: I’ll just say that.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:37] Adam: Too much sunshine.
[0:03:38 – 0:03:38] Adam: I’m not used to that level of sun.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:40] Erik: It was pretty glorious.
[0:03:41 – 0:03:49] Erik: So, yeah, I think we got to start by, I don’t know if it’s necessarily a sponsorship, but we need to shout out.
[0:03:50 – 0:03:59] Erik: We were out on Portage Lake fishing, but then afterwards we were able to spend the night in Poplar Creek.
[0:03:59 – 0:04:03] Erik: B&B maintains a couple of yurts out on the Banadad ski trail.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:08] Erik: So we’re shouting out the Tall Pines Yurt on the Banner Dad.
[0:04:09 – 0:04:12] Erik: And it is, we just got a taste.
[0:04:12 – 0:04:13] Erik: But if you’re ever…
[0:04:13 – 0:04:14] Erik: Were we in the Croft Yurt?
[0:04:15 – 0:04:16] Erik: Was it the Croft?
[0:04:16 – 0:04:19] Adam: Yeah, I remember the story on the wall about EJ Croft.
[0:04:19 – 0:04:21] Erik: All right, three, two, one.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:26] Adam: Shout out to the Croft Yurt at the midsection of the Banner Dad Trail.
[0:04:26 – 0:04:41] Adam: We were way out there on Friday night, and yeah, shout out to Barbara and Ted and their entire crew over there at the B&B, everybody that’s involved in keeping the Bandedad Trail nice.
[0:04:43 – 0:04:44] Adam: It’s a beautiful thing out there.
[0:04:44 – 0:04:45] Erik: It is.
[0:04:45 – 0:04:47] Erik: It’s very well maintained.
[0:04:48 – 0:04:51] Adam: I think we should include the audio on the story about EJ Croft later.
[0:04:51 – 0:04:52] Erik: Oh, yeah, that is in there.
[0:04:52 – 0:04:52] Erik: If there’s time.
[0:04:53 – 0:04:55] Erik: You’re trying to figure out what that C.S.
[0:04:55 – 0:04:57] Erik: Lewis book was from the corner.
[0:04:57 – 0:04:59] Erik: It’s also, I think, sort of in there.
[0:04:59 – 0:05:00] Erik: Good.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:00] Erik: Screw till letters.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:01] Adam: Yeah, good.
[0:05:02 – 0:05:04] Adam: Yeah, we were fishing portage.
[0:05:04 – 0:05:05] Adam: We’re not bleeping that out.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:05] Adam: No.
[0:05:05 – 0:05:07] Adam: We were fishing splake on portage.
[0:05:07 – 0:05:08] Adam: And we caught a couple.
[0:05:08 – 0:05:08] Adam: And we caught some.
[0:05:09 – 0:05:09] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:09 – 0:05:10] Adam: We’ll even tell you that much.
[0:05:11 – 0:05:12] Adam: We’ll tell you what lure I was using.
[0:05:12 – 0:05:13] Adam: It was a Tingler jig.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:14] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:15] Adam: I’m sorry, a Tingler spoon.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:17] Adam: I think we might be sponsored by Tingler.
[0:05:17 – 0:05:18] Adam: We might be.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:18] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:19] Adam: They’re a big fan of the show.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:21] Adam: Got a few sponsors this week.
[0:05:23 – 0:05:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:05:23 – 0:05:24] Erik: So we did cheat somewhat.
[0:05:24 – 0:05:28] Erik: We kind of took some iron doggies out there.
[0:05:29 – 0:05:31] Adam: Yeah, we didn’t actually ski the banded out all the way out there.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:31] Adam: No.
[0:05:31 – 0:05:34] Erik: But we did have to hack our way into Portage.
[0:05:34 – 0:05:35] Erik: Yeah, it was a tough Portage.
[0:05:35 – 0:05:36] Erik: Into Portage.
[0:05:36 – 0:05:38] Erik: First tracks through Portage that were human.
[0:05:39 – 0:05:42] Erik: And it was like four feet of like sugar snow.
[0:05:42 – 0:05:46] Erik: At one point, people were just like crawling on their hands and knees like it was the Donner Party.
[0:05:48 – 0:05:50] Adam: Trying to get over the Cascades.
[0:05:50 – 0:05:52] Adam: That’s when the cannibalism started.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:53] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[0:05:55 – 0:06:03] Erik: Yeah, so shout out to Poplar Creek B&B, Ted, Barb, Josh, Christy, the whole gang that was able to make that weekend.
[0:06:03 – 0:06:05] Erik: And Maya, just a mascot.
[0:06:08 – 0:06:24] Erik: Do you want to transition into the typical sponsorship, and then we’ll get a couple of these co-respondents slash second sponsorship out of the way before we get into the real madness that is this podcast?
[0:06:24 – 0:06:25] Erik: You know I’m thirsty.
[0:06:26 – 0:06:26] Erik: All right.
[0:06:27 – 0:06:30] Erik: So these are the last beers from last summer.
[0:06:31 – 0:06:44] Erik: If you’re still out there listening, Zach and the gang, these are a couple of Idiot Farm Imperial IPAs from Carbon 4 Brewing in Madison, Wisconsin.
[0:06:44 – 0:06:45] Erik: Shout out to Madison.
[0:06:46 – 0:06:48] Erik: Yeah, these were handed off.
[0:06:49 – 0:06:52] Erik: I think I did kind of vaguely tell this story one time.
[0:06:52 – 0:07:00] Erik: I came in early, like so many mornings at Clearwater, and my dad was like, oh, there’s some guys up front that have been…
[0:07:01 – 0:07:04] Erik: Kind of out on the porch since about 6.30 waiting for you.
[0:07:04 – 0:07:10] Erik: And I came walking up and I was, you know, still just first couple of sips of coffee into the morning.
[0:07:11 – 0:07:13] Erik: And they were like, oh, Eric, we’ve got a bunch of beers here.
[0:07:13 – 0:07:16] Erik: We drove all the way up from Rice Lake this morning.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:17] Erik: I was like, this morning?
[0:07:17 – 0:07:20] Erik: So I got up in the middle of the night to drive up to start this canoe trip.
[0:07:21 – 0:07:22] Erik: And they dropped off.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:24] Erik: A number of beers.
[0:07:26 – 0:07:30] Erik: These were the ones that I thought would be best saved for a sponsorship.
[0:07:32 – 0:07:40] Erik: Side note, the friend of the show Hopalicious was actually intending on sending some idiot farms along the way.
[0:07:41 – 0:07:42] Erik: In the art supplies.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:45] Erik: Yeah, the first shipment of art supplies that did not make it.
[0:07:46 – 0:07:47] Erik: Confiscated.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:47] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:47 – 0:08:09] Erik: yes i think they just i think they broke started leaking and then got shipped back to him oh no that’s right and he had to like go to the store and open in front of the people i’m sorry i’m so sorry uh so yeah but these are he was trying to get us to do an episode on like ensign lake that would be sponsored by the idiot farm beer which is a solid concept
[0:08:10 – 0:08:15] Erik: Very apropos, but these beers would go bad before we do a review on Ensign.
[0:08:15 – 0:08:17] Adam: Yeah, we’re not going ace fishing on Ensign at this point.
[0:08:17 – 0:08:17] Adam: No.
[0:08:19 – 0:08:21] Erik: So let’s crack these, get into it, and then we’ll get into our…
[0:08:21 – 0:08:22] Adam: They’ll work for this episode, I think.
[0:08:22 – 0:08:23] Erik: I think so.
[0:08:23 – 0:08:27] Erik: I think this is basically an Idiot Farm episode with what we’re doing.
[0:08:27 – 0:08:28] Adam: Yeah, yeah.
[0:08:28 – 0:08:40] Adam: And if you do end up including any of the field audio from last weekend, then it’ll only increase the idiot nature of this episode 087 of Tumble Home, the Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:08:40 – 0:08:40] Adam: Oh, yes.
[0:08:40 – 0:08:40] Adam: 087.
[0:08:40 – 0:08:42] Adam: Thank you for clarifying that.
[0:08:42 – 0:08:43] Adam: All right.
[0:08:43 – 0:08:45] Adam: I’m excited for these when…
[0:08:47 – 0:08:52] Adam: When I was living in Madison, I never heard of no carbon four.
[0:08:53 – 0:08:53] Adam: Was it?
[0:08:54 – 0:08:54] Adam: Is that it?
[0:08:54 – 0:08:55] Erik: Carbon four.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:56] Adam: Carbon four brewing.
[0:08:56 – 0:08:58] Erik: Ooh, there’s a nice sediment on the bottom.
[0:08:59 – 0:08:59] Adam: Cheers, my good man.
[0:09:00 – 0:09:01] Erik: Maybe they’re not even good anymore.
[0:09:06 – 0:09:07] Erik: No, they seem like they’re still good.
[0:09:10 – 0:09:11] Adam: Thank you, Zach.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:12] Adam: And crew.
[0:09:13 – 0:09:14] Erik: Zach and crew.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:14] Erik: It was a crew.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:15] Adam: Rice Lake boys.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:16] Erik: Yes.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:16] Erik: Shout out.
[0:09:17 – 0:09:18] Erik: This is pretty good.
[0:09:18 – 0:09:19] Erik: Yeah.
[0:09:19 – 0:09:21] Adam: I wonder where that is in Madison.
[0:09:21 – 0:09:22] Adam: I honestly have no idea.
[0:09:22 – 0:09:26] Adam: Somebody was asking me about Canoe Copia, and I was like, eh, I don’t know.
[0:09:26 – 0:09:29] Adam: I’m probably not going to make it down there.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:33] Adam: Is Weary Traveler on Lilly Street still even open?
[0:09:33 – 0:09:33] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:09:33 – 0:09:34] Adam: If it is, you should go there.
[0:09:35 – 0:09:36] Erik: Yeah, I think, I don’t know.
[0:09:36 – 0:09:38] Adam: I don’t even have any recommendations left.
[0:09:38 – 0:09:41] Adam: I could barely find my old trout fishing streams at this point.
[0:09:42 – 0:09:45] Erik: I think, unfortunately, the news is going to come out here.
[0:09:45 – 0:09:47] Erik: I don’t think we’re doing any shows this spring.
[0:09:48 – 0:09:50] Erik: Let’s just get it out there then.
[0:09:50 – 0:09:50] Erik: We’re not going.
[0:09:51 – 0:09:51] Erik: Sorry.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:53] Adam: I can’t handle that kind of travel.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:56] SPEAKER_00: It’s really messing with my schedule.
[0:09:58 – 0:10:02] Erik: Two nights in a hotel or three nights in a hotel if you really want to get down early.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:05] Erik: I’m not here to try to make excuses for you.
[0:10:05 – 0:10:06] Erik: We’re just not going to be at any of them.
[0:10:06 – 0:10:08] Erik: So maybe next year.
[0:10:09 – 0:10:14] Erik: But I do encourage you to stop in at the WGIP Boundary Waters podcast.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:14] Adam: They are going.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:18] Adam: And then I was actually talking to Chelsea, and they’re going to Madison.
[0:10:18 – 0:10:24] Adam: And that’s why I was like, well, I wish I had a good recommendation or something, considering I lived there for seven years.
[0:10:24 – 0:10:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:10:25 – 0:10:27] Adam: Best I could do is Weary Traveler.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:27] Adam: I hope they’re still open.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:29] Adam: Shout out.
[0:10:29 – 0:10:30] Adam: Get the Bob’s Bad Breath Burger.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:35] Erik: Wasn’t that the place you recommended when I was down there a couple years ago with Tori?
[0:10:35 – 0:10:35] Erik: I’m sure it is.
[0:10:35 – 0:10:37] Adam: That’s the only thing I’ve got left at this point.
[0:10:38 – 0:10:41] Erik: Only thing I’ve got left in my life.
[0:10:41 – 0:10:50] Erik: Yeah, so we’ve got a couple of correspondence slash the first of this kind of sponsorship.
[0:10:51 – 0:10:55] Erik: This is from Troy and Jennifer.
[0:10:55 – 0:10:59] Erik: I’m not going to read the whole letter that they sent.
[0:10:59 – 0:10:59] Erik: There’s a letter?
[0:11:01 – 0:11:16] Erik: But they did send along the first, and unless it is overthrown by some kind of a superior product, we’ll be going forward, the official hot sauce of Tumble Home.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:17] Erik: Heck yeah.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:19] Adam: Do you want me to open that thing up, Mike?
[0:11:19 – 0:11:20] Erik: Well, I guess maybe we should taste it first.
[0:11:21 – 0:11:21] Erik: Yeah, open that up.
[0:11:22 – 0:11:23] Erik: What if it’s terrible?
[0:11:23 – 0:11:24] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:24] Erik: I already declared it.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:25] Erik: Yeah.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:28] Adam: Here.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:29] Adam: Wait.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:29] Adam: Yes.
[0:11:29 – 0:11:30] Adam: I think that’s a pretty good pop.
[0:11:30 – 0:11:31] Erik: That was some very good.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:35] Erik: Yeah, we’ve got some chips here, and we’ve got some Miss Jenny’s hot sauce.
[0:11:36 – 0:11:46] Erik: This is from the Twin Cities, and it’s kind of coming out of the bottle.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:46] Adam: It’s kind of thick.
[0:11:46 – 0:11:51] Erik: Yeah, actually, it almost looks like it should be in a plastic bottle because it’s got some thickness to it.
[0:11:52 – 0:11:53] Erik: This is not your Tabasco.
[0:11:53 – 0:11:59] Erik: I would say this is way closer to a Sriracha consistency.
[0:11:59 – 0:12:01] Erik: That’s a good amount there.
[0:12:02 – 0:12:09] Erik: Yeah, that’s almost like that’s classic Sriracha consistency there.
[0:12:09 – 0:12:10] Adam: All right.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:12] Adam: I have no idea if this is too much or not enough.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:13] Adam: Yeah, I didn’t read the label.
[0:12:13 – 0:12:14] Adam: Is this a super hot one?
[0:12:15 – 0:12:25] Erik: I don’t think they really ever said, but the name of it is, so the brand is Miss Jenny’s, but this specific flavor is Seven Pot Scorn.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:26] Erik: It’s pretty hot.
[0:12:26 – 0:12:26] Erik: Is it?
[0:12:27 – 0:12:28] Erik: I’m going for it.
[0:12:29 – 0:12:30] Adam: I had quite a bit on there.
[0:12:31 – 0:12:32] Adam: I should have read the label.
[0:12:34 – 0:12:34] Adam: I like hot stuff.
[0:12:34 – 0:12:40] Adam: I’m not your typical North Shore crybaby when it comes to spicy food.
[0:12:41 – 0:12:42] Adam: Yeah, that’s good, though.
[0:12:42 – 0:12:43] Adam: It is good.
[0:12:43 – 0:12:43] Adam: It’s not that hot.
[0:12:44 – 0:12:44] Adam: No, it’s not.
[0:12:44 – 0:12:46] Adam: It’s hot, but I can handle it.
[0:12:46 – 0:12:47] Erik: It’s got a good amount of heat.
[0:12:48 – 0:12:49] Erik: It’s got a good consistency.
[0:12:51 – 0:12:52] Erik: And it does have a pretty good flavor.
[0:12:53 – 0:12:56] Erik: So, start sending us your food products.
[0:12:56 – 0:13:04] Erik: We’re expanding out from beer sponsorships to food sponsorships and the like.
[0:13:05 – 0:13:07] Adam: They’re friends of the Instagram.
[0:13:07 – 0:13:08] Adam: Oh, they are?
[0:13:08 – 0:13:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:09] Adam: And we’re friends.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:12] Adam: Yeah, we are friends on the Instagram.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:13] Erik: Well, you need to be legit.
[0:13:13 – 0:13:16] Erik: We’re not just going to start sponsoring craft.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:20] Erik: We’re discerning podcasters.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:21] Erik: Small batch.
[0:13:22 – 0:13:24] Adam: Need to sip the idiot farm after that.
[0:13:24 – 0:13:24] Adam: I know.
[0:13:25 – 0:13:29] Erik: Although sometimes it seems like these beers, they kind of exacerbate.
[0:13:29 – 0:13:30] Erik: They activate it.
[0:13:33 – 0:13:43] Erik: All right, before we get into the real hard-hitting conversation of the night, we’ve got another correspondence.
[0:13:43 – 0:13:44] Erik: Correspondence.
[0:13:44 – 0:13:46] Adam: Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
[0:13:47 – 0:13:53] Erik: This is, again, unless specifically outlined in the email or the letter.
[0:13:54 – 0:14:00] Erik: In this case, it is a letter that you want it being read aloud on the show.
[0:14:01 – 0:14:03] Erik: I’m not going to.
[0:14:05 – 0:14:08] Erik: I appreciate everything that we’ve received up to this point.
[0:14:08 – 0:14:10] Erik: And this is a very nice letter that we received from Matt.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:12] Erik: Thank you, Matt.
[0:14:12 – 0:14:14] Erik: We’re going to try to keep up the great work.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:21] Erik: And we will, not at this time, give the bag a slap for you.
[0:14:22 – 0:14:25] Erik: At this point, all we’re going to be able to do is just tip back a bottle.
[0:14:25 – 0:14:26] Erik: So, cheers, Matt.
[0:14:28 – 0:14:28] Adam: Here’s to Matt.
[0:14:29 – 0:14:36] Adam: Can you give me a correspondence recap or do you Corey phrase this letter for me?
[0:14:37 – 0:14:38] Erik: Corey phrase.
[0:14:40 – 0:14:41] Erik: Well, he did send us both.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:45] Erik: One of these cool Ron Shara Minnesota outdoor information calendars.
[0:14:45 – 0:14:47] Erik: Oh, it’s got the moon stuff.
[0:14:47 – 0:14:47] Erik: So we get to hang these.
[0:14:48 – 0:14:49] Adam: Oh, it’s got the moon stuff.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:51] Erik: Every day has…
[0:14:51 – 0:14:52] Erik: It’s got sunset, sunrise.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:54] Erik: Every day has information.
[0:14:55 – 0:14:58] Adam: Today, February 25th.
[0:14:58 – 0:15:00] Adam: And we’re looking at little chickadees up top.
[0:15:00 – 0:15:03] Erik: Gaining two minutes of daylight every day.
[0:15:05 – 0:15:08] Erik: Yeah, tomorrow, new fishing and hunting licenses go on sale.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:10] Adam: That’s a good reminder.
[0:15:12 – 0:15:12] Erik: What?
[0:15:12 – 0:15:13] Erik: That’s all.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:15] Adam: Don’t they expire at the end of February?
[0:15:16 – 0:15:17] Adam: What state is that for?
[0:15:17 – 0:15:18] Adam: It’s Minnesota.
[0:15:18 – 0:15:19] Erik: Ron Shara.
[0:15:19 – 0:15:19] Erik: Come on.
[0:15:20 – 0:15:23] Adam: Well, I thought my license expired at the end of February.
[0:15:23 – 0:15:25] Erik: Yes, on the 29th, but the new ones go on sale on the 26th.
[0:15:26 – 0:15:28] Adam: Wow, I would have figured they were ready for sale.
[0:15:29 – 0:15:33] Adam: Now, thanks to this calendar, now I know I can’t go and buy one until Wednesday.
[0:15:33 – 0:15:37] Erik: I like some of the subjective ones where it’s like February 28th.
[0:15:37 – 0:15:40] Erik: Maybe Minnesota’s last day below zero.
[0:15:40 – 0:16:06] Erik: oh i got it sure it sure may it sure may yeah every day has got information best ice fishing for panfish this month so thank you matt this uh is fun oh that was march 3rd yeah we don’t want to we don’t want to spoil too far forward i think we should maybe we should bring this calendar yeah and then every time we record for the rest of the year we should talk about what the day has to say
[0:16:07 – 0:16:11] Adam: Yeah, I’ll hang this one in Studio K. There’s another one.
[0:16:11 – 0:16:11] Adam: We can each have one.
[0:16:11 – 0:16:12] Erik: Yeah, he sent two.
[0:16:12 – 0:16:13] Erik: So that’s yours.
[0:16:14 – 0:16:14] Erik: Thanks, Matt.
[0:16:14 – 0:16:15] Erik: Thanks, Matt.
[0:16:15 – 0:16:15] Erik: That’s fun.
[0:16:16 – 0:16:23] Erik: Yeah, no, he just basically said how he enjoys us bringing life in the Northwoods to people in the cities.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:25] Erik: There’s also two of these.
[0:16:25 – 0:16:25] Erik: You can take that.
[0:16:25 – 0:16:26] Erik: That’s his whole…
[0:16:27 – 0:16:28] Erik: The letter that he was…
[0:16:30 – 0:16:33] Erik: kind enough to send along and spent the time to type up and print.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:36] Erik: I think we’ve said it a thousand times.
[0:16:37 – 0:16:45] Erik: I don’t know if it’s necessarily can be overstated, but the correspondence and the thoughts and love that we get from our listeners is just always crazy.
[0:16:45 – 0:16:47] Erik: And thank you for being there.
[0:16:47 – 0:16:49] Erik: We’re going to keep doing it as long as we can.
[0:16:49 – 0:16:50] Adam: I still can’t believe anybody listens to this sometimes.
[0:16:51 – 0:16:52] Erik: Yeah, I know.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:55] Adam: Yeah, I mean, seriously, thank you.
[0:16:55 – 0:16:58] Erik: Thanks, everybody, including Matt.
[0:16:58 – 0:17:00] Erik: That’s a nice font on that letter.
[0:17:00 – 0:17:03] Erik: Miss Jenny and Zach and the crew.
[0:17:03 – 0:17:10] Erik: We had three sponsorships this week, including all of our friends and supporters on Patreon.
[0:17:11 – 0:17:20] Erik: You’re doing amazing things for us, and it’s getting to the point where it’s kind of starting to change our lives a little bit, which is crazy.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:25] Erik: So if you haven’t figured it out, we’re going to take just a quick break before we start back up.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:33] Erik: We teased this a little bit last fall, I think in the conversation of the Tumble Home board game.
[0:17:34 – 0:17:35] Adam: Let’s not talk about that.
[0:17:36 – 0:17:37] Erik: No, no, we’re not bringing that up.
[0:17:37 – 0:17:42] Adam: But I think it was in the conversation of the board game that somebody had considered doing a voting to determine a winner.
[0:17:47 – 0:18:01] Erik: And then we had joked at the time that it would be fun to put together a March Madness-style bracket of more or less highly subjective things.
[0:18:01 – 0:18:04] Erik: Just like, hey, this is sort of adjacent to the Boundary Waters.
[0:18:05 – 0:18:05] Erik: Vote on it.
[0:18:06 – 0:18:08] Erik: And it’s the end of February.
[0:18:08 – 0:18:09] Adam: Everybody loves a vote on stuff.
[0:18:09 – 0:18:11] Erik: Yeah, and everybody loves brackets.
[0:18:11 – 0:18:12] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:18:12 – 0:18:19] Erik: So what we’re doing is we’re going to just kind of talk through our things that we’ve got listed.
[0:18:20 – 0:18:31] Erik: We’re going to put together a bracket, and then we’re going to share the link to these votable brackets with dates that voting ends on and then subsequent voting after that.
[0:18:32 – 0:18:34] Erik: So you can vote on the first round.
[0:18:35 – 0:18:37] Erik: Yeah, the first round will basically be up.
[0:18:37 – 0:18:40] Erik: If you’re listening to this right now, the link to these.
[0:18:40 – 0:18:40] Erik: Check the link.
[0:18:41 – 0:18:44] Erik: The links to these tournaments are in the show notes.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:46] Erik: I’m going to share it on Facebook.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:49] Erik: I’m probably going to pester the folks on RBWCA with it.
[0:18:51 – 0:18:51] Adam: They like that, though.
[0:18:51 – 0:18:52] Adam: They like that.
[0:18:52 – 0:19:07] Erik: right and it’s it’s the middle of the winter we need something we need something to get like have fun with because there’s it’s we had a teaser like two day thaw and we’re multiple months away from any kind of open water tingle it on the gram
[0:19:08 – 0:19:10] Erik: Yeah, throw it up on the gram.
[0:19:10 – 0:19:10] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:19:10 – 0:19:12] Erik: Tingle it on that gram.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:22] Erik: So it’s essentially like before anybody gets too bent out of shape, I don’t feel like we have any listeners who are really like this, but it’s all for fun.
[0:19:22 – 0:19:25] Erik: There’s nothing about it that we’re taking super seriously.
[0:19:25 – 0:19:27] Erik: I think we’re going to maybe.
[0:19:27 – 0:19:30] Adam: We’re just going to report on the votes and how it goes.
[0:19:30 – 0:19:31] Adam: We’re going to start it.
[0:19:31 – 0:19:33] Adam: There’s no winners or losers in this bracket.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:35] Adam: This isn’t fantasy bear grease.
[0:19:35 – 0:19:36] Erik: It is not.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:40] Erik: Basically, what we’re going to do is we’ll share these links.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:40] Erik: You go to it.
[0:19:41 – 0:19:59] Erik: You just vote on which of the two Boundary Waters related pieces of equipment, personalities, weather situation would you like to use in your next trip that would most enhance your experience.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:06] Adam: Then we dabbled and maybe we’d just group all the food ones together to see who’s the hero of the foods.
[0:20:07 – 0:20:13] Adam: But I think we’ve decided in hindsight that it’ll be a lot more fun to just mix it up.
[0:20:14 – 0:20:18] Erik: And more realistic to what the March Madness tournament is like.
[0:20:18 – 0:20:22] Adam: They put all the Big Ten teams in one bracket and so forth.
[0:20:23 – 0:20:24] Erik: We’re going to mix it up.
[0:20:24 – 0:20:25] Erik: Yeah, it’s a trial run.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:25] Erik: We’ll see.
[0:20:25 – 0:20:27] Erik: Maybe next year we improve on it.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:33] Erik: So after tonight, we’re going to just do a loose tourney on this sheet here.
[0:20:33 – 0:20:42] Erik: And then I’m planning on getting a nice big piece of tag board and outlining the actual tournament and then keeping track of the voting as it goes.
[0:20:43 – 0:20:47] Adam: It’ll be interesting to see which one gets the most votes in the first round.
[0:20:47 – 0:20:50] Adam: I can’t wait to analyze the results of this.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:51] Erik: That’s what I’m most excited about.
[0:20:51 – 0:20:57] Erik: And again, at the end of the day, this is basically just a time killer because winter is going to be the point right now where I am.
[0:20:57 – 0:20:59] Adam: This is our board game for now.
[0:20:59 – 0:21:00] Adam: We don’t have a board game working yet.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:01] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:07] Erik: I just need something to do that provides me with thoughts of summer that involves the most people.
[0:21:08 – 0:21:09] Erik: I got gamer’s block.
[0:21:10 – 0:21:11] Erik: I can’t figure this one part out.
[0:21:11 – 0:21:11] Erik: That’s all right.
[0:21:12 – 0:21:13] Erik: It’s not… Yeah, I mean…
[0:21:13 – 0:21:15] Adam: I actually think I had a breakthrough the other day, so…
[0:21:16 – 0:21:17] Erik: Did they come up with Monopoly overnight?
[0:21:18 – 0:21:18] Erik: No.
[0:21:18 – 0:21:19] Erik: They actually stole the game.
[0:21:19 – 0:21:22] Adam: It was a stupid idea to promise it was going to be ready within a year.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:23] Erik: You can’t rush it.
[0:21:23 – 0:21:24] Erik: No.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:31] Erik: I think there’s a doll-up episode on how they ripped off Monopoly based on some woman’s game.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:33] Erik: It was called Capitalism the Board Game or something.
[0:21:33 – 0:21:33] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:35] Erik: Anyway, we’re rambling now.
[0:21:35 – 0:21:38] Erik: So we’re going to take a quick break that you won’t notice.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:47] Erik: We’re going to come back, and we’re going to start throwing out things, people, places, equipment that we want to throw on to the March Madness.
[0:21:48 – 0:21:51] Erik: We’ve got to come up with a name for it, like the Tumble Tourney.
[0:21:51 – 0:21:53] Adam: Ooh, that’s a good starter name at least.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:56] Erik: Yes, it’s a placeholder.
[0:22:00 – 0:22:03] Adam: Tumble Tourney, Tumble Tourney.
[0:22:04 – 0:22:07] Adam: It’s time to play the tumble tourney.
[0:22:07 – 0:22:08] Adam: Get your brackets ready.
[0:22:09 – 0:22:10] Adam: Yeah, so this is very good.
[0:22:10 – 0:22:11] Adam: I’m going to work on that, too.
[0:22:11 – 0:22:13] Adam: Do you want me to delete, start over?
[0:22:13 – 0:22:13] Erik: No, no.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:14] Erik: I’m happy with it.
[0:22:15 – 0:22:18] Erik: So, yeah, this is perfect.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:20] Erik: This is pure science.
[0:22:20 – 0:22:28] Erik: There’s nothing that will ever improve upon the decision-making process that we have devised to put together this tournament.
[0:22:28 – 0:22:31] Adam: The tournament committee is adjourned.
[0:22:31 – 0:22:32] Adam: No, I mean…
[0:22:33 – 0:22:34] Erik: Yes, not adjourned.
[0:22:34 – 0:22:35] Erik: In session.
[0:22:35 – 0:22:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:41] Adam: We call this meeting of the Bracketology Committee to session.
[0:22:42 – 0:22:43] Adam: I second the motion.
[0:22:43 – 0:22:44] Adam: Selection Tuesday.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:49] Adam: Selection Tuesday here at Studio V. Oh, boy, the anticipation is palpable.
[0:22:49 – 0:22:53] Adam: We literally do have a blank bracket sitting in front of us.
[0:22:54 – 0:22:57] Erik: Eric Gray spilled beer on it.
[0:22:57 – 0:22:59] Adam: Got a little bit of Idiot Farm on it.
[0:23:00 – 0:23:04] Erik: I think we should probably do West and East.
[0:23:04 – 0:23:17] Erik: Yeah, so if you’re following along at home and you’re looking for the links, the website that I have found that is going to utilize this bracket voting technology to the best of its ability…
[0:23:17 – 0:23:20] Erik: Actually only can handle 32 at a time.
[0:23:20 – 0:23:21] Erik: So there’s going to be two.
[0:23:22 – 0:23:23] Erik: It’s going to be a West.
[0:23:24 – 0:23:25] Erik: There’s going to be an East.
[0:23:25 – 0:23:26] Erik: And you have to vote on each.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:34] Erik: And then we’ll have to set up at the very end of March, we’ll have to set up one vote where it’s the two final that come out of the West and the East.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:36] Adam: Where are we going to have the final four at?
[0:23:37 – 0:23:37] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:23:38 – 0:23:38] Adam: Knife.
[0:23:39 – 0:23:39] Adam: Yeah.
[0:23:39 – 0:23:40] Adam: So, I don’t know.
[0:23:40 – 0:23:41] Adam: Thunder Point, baby.
[0:23:41 – 0:23:42] Adam: It’s always at Thunder Point.
[0:23:42 – 0:23:43] Erik: Yeah.
[0:23:43 – 0:23:50] Erik: I mean, this is about as footloose and fancy free of a podcast that I think maybe we’ve ever had.
[0:23:50 – 0:23:57] Erik: We’re just going to start talking this out and try to fill out 64 places in a tournament that people get to vote on.
[0:23:57 – 0:23:59] Erik: And I don’t know where to start.
[0:24:00 – 0:24:01] Erik: You got to start somewhere.
[0:24:01 – 0:24:07] Erik: There’s very little thinking that has gone into this besides writing down just some of my favorite things.
[0:24:08 – 0:24:10] Erik: Do you have yours kind of pre-seeded at all?
[0:24:10 – 0:24:11] Erik: No, not really.
[0:24:11 – 0:24:15] Adam: I have some that I have written like maybe seeds on them that I would argue.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:16] Erik: Yeah, so we’re working with pencil.
[0:24:17 – 0:24:19] Erik: We’re going to try to do our best to seed things.
[0:24:20 – 0:24:21] Erik: I think we should start with the number ones.
[0:24:22 – 0:24:22] Erik: Okay.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:24] Erik: And we’re just going to go into it.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:27] Erik: Whatever ends up happening here is what ends up happening.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:29] Adam: I only have one number one on my list.
[0:24:29 – 0:24:32] Erik: And I think it’s hard to argue against that not being a number one.
[0:24:32 – 0:24:32] Adam: Okay.
[0:24:33 – 0:24:34] Adam: Which is Kevlar canoe.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:35] Adam: Kevlar.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:36] Adam: Number one.
[0:24:36 – 0:24:36] Erik: Canoes.
[0:24:37 – 0:24:37] Erik: Getting penciled in.
[0:24:39 – 0:24:40] Adam: You know, everybody’s got their favorite.
[0:24:40 – 0:24:42] Adam: We’re not going to just put Min 2 on there.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:43] Adam: We’re going to have a general.
[0:24:43 – 0:24:50] Adam: I don’t know if we’ll always be this general for each category, but for this one, I’d say Kevlar Canoe.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:50] Erik: Yes.
[0:24:50 – 0:24:51] Erik: There are no rules.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:53] Erik: All right.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:56] Erik: Sometimes they’re brand associated.
[0:24:56 – 0:24:58] Erik: Sometimes there’s not.
[0:24:58 – 0:25:00] Erik: So I’m going to cross out my Kevlar Canoe.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:01] Adam: You have that one.
[0:25:01 – 0:25:02] Adam: Okay.
[0:25:02 – 0:25:02] Erik: I do.
[0:25:02 – 0:25:02] Erik: Yes.
[0:25:03 – 0:25:04] Erik: Do you have any other?
[0:25:04 – 0:25:05] Erik: You don’t have any other number ones?
[0:25:05 – 0:25:10] Adam: I had one other one that I had sort of pre-ranked as a one, but now I’m thinking it shouldn’t be a one.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:12] Adam: No, I don’t.
[0:25:12 – 0:25:14] Adam: I have a couple twos on here, though.
[0:25:14 – 0:25:17] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:25:17 – 0:25:19] Adam: We could go right into a two seed here.
[0:25:20 – 0:25:20] Erik: Well, sure.
[0:25:21 – 0:25:25] Adam: It is kind of the opposite of a Kevlar canoe, actually, and it’s going to work out pretty nicely.
[0:25:25 – 0:25:26] Adam: So I would say cast iron.
[0:25:27 – 0:25:28] Adam: Cast iron skillet.
[0:25:28 – 0:25:29] Adam: A two.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:31] Adam: As a two seed, but I don’t know if that’s too high.
[0:25:32 – 0:25:36] Adam: For me, it’s a two, but I know it probably isn’t going to survive as a two seed.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:39] Erik: I was going to say, I feel like that’s a classic situation for an upset.
[0:25:40 – 0:25:42] Erik: All right, let’s… Well, whatever, you know.
[0:25:42 – 0:25:44] Adam: If a two-seed doesn’t make it through, that’s not the end of the world.
[0:25:44 – 0:25:46] Adam: But for me, it’s a two-seed.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:47] Erik: Cast iron skillet.
[0:25:48 – 0:25:49] Adam: That’s what I was going to say.
[0:25:49 – 0:25:52] Adam: You know, like what we brought on the trip this last weekend.
[0:25:52 – 0:25:54] Adam: We just had it on the…
[0:25:54 – 0:25:56] Erik: Let’s call it a three.
[0:25:56 – 0:25:57] Erik: That’s fine.
[0:25:57 – 0:25:58] Erik: I can get by with that.
[0:25:58 – 0:25:58] Erik: Let’s call it a three.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:01] Erik: I feel like it’ll get by a little bit more.
[0:26:02 – 0:26:02] Erik: And I have no idea.
[0:26:02 – 0:26:05] Adam: I’m not trying to get anything by, you know, but I’m just saying.
[0:26:05 – 0:26:11] Erik: But I feel like two, it would easily… That’s your classic, like, I don’t know, 15 seeds?
[0:26:11 – 0:26:14] Erik: Sometimes they kind of do upset those twos.
[0:26:14 – 0:26:15] Adam: You never know how the people are going to vote.
[0:26:15 – 0:26:17] Adam: That’s the beauty of this tournament.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:17] Adam: Right.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:17] Adam: Right.
[0:26:17 – 0:26:23] Adam: And just because I love a cast iron, I don’t expect everybody wants to bring one on their Boundary Waters trip.
[0:26:23 – 0:26:25] Adam: That’s the whole point of the tournament.
[0:26:25 – 0:26:27] Adam: What would you bring between these two items?
[0:26:28 – 0:26:30] Erik: To most greatly enhance your experience.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:30] Erik: That’s it.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:32] Erik: It’s the simplest way we can boil it down.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:33] Adam: Yeah, I think that says it all.
[0:26:33 – 0:26:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:35 – 0:26:36] Erik: We’ve got some people involved.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:39] Erik: Should we introduce our first person?
[0:26:39 – 0:26:41] Erik: Yeah, let’s get a person on here.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:42] Erik: I have a little bit of a list of people here.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:44] Erik: Obviously, we are in between…
[0:26:44 – 0:26:45] Adam: And we were talking about this, too.
[0:26:45 – 0:26:51] Adam: I think by putting these people on here, like, oh, would you rather, you know, who’s your first person?
[0:26:51 – 0:26:52] Adam: Let’s just get one on the board.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:54] Erik: Well, we have to just start with Sig.
[0:26:54 – 0:26:55] Adam: Yeah, we’re doing Sig.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:56] Erik: We’re talking about him.
[0:26:57 – 0:26:58] Erik: I feel like he’s a clear number one.
[0:26:59 – 0:27:03] Adam: Yeah, I had him listed as a two seed, but that seems absolutely insane in hindsight.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:04] Adam: So it’s a one for me.
[0:27:04 – 0:27:06] Erik: We’ll list him as a one.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:13] Adam: So, yeah, it’s like, well, obviously, I think Sig’s not going to have any problem against the eventual 16 seed there.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:14] Erik: Yeah, it should be fun to see what that ends up being.
[0:27:14 – 0:27:15] Adam: It would be funny later.
[0:27:16 – 0:27:19] Adam: Would you rather go on a trip with a fishing pole or with a Sigurd Olsen?
[0:27:19 – 0:27:20] Adam: Like, come on.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:44] Adam: anybody who says fishing pole is crazy like i don’t i think these people like the final four is probably gonna end up being people i would say that that is very people are being honest but very likely maybe there’s a lot of intjs out there don’t want to go on a trip with somebody right famous yeah so uh we’ve got one person uh let’s just throw out a random uh bent shaft paddle
[0:27:45 – 0:27:45] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:27:45 – 0:27:49] Adam: I don’t know how I don’t have… Well, my list is really incomplete.
[0:27:49 – 0:27:51] Adam: So I didn’t have that one on here.
[0:27:51 – 0:27:54] Erik: I feel like that’s like an 8, 9, 10 kind of a seed.
[0:27:55 – 0:27:56] Adam: Wow, for a bent shaft.
[0:27:56 – 0:27:58] Adam: Yeah, I mean, because what’s the big deal?
[0:27:59 – 0:28:02] Adam: Are we going to have regular paddle on there somewhere too?
[0:28:02 – 0:28:03] Adam: Straight shaft paddle.
[0:28:03 – 0:28:09] Adam: And then just like the old outfitter’s paddles that they let the staff use back in the 90s.
[0:28:09 – 0:28:11] Erik: Yeah, just the plastic and metal one.
[0:28:12 – 0:28:13] Erik: Just a paddle in general.
[0:28:13 – 0:28:15] Adam: Yeah, I mean, that should really be a number one.
[0:28:15 – 0:28:21] Adam: Paddle found in shed is like a 12 seed, but a bent shaft is probably a 7, I would say.
[0:28:21 – 0:28:22] Adam: 7.
[0:28:22 – 0:28:23] Adam: Yeah, I would say it’s a 6 or 7.
[0:28:24 – 0:28:28] Erik: All right, well, given the bent shaft paddle, a seven seed.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:29] Erik: Love it.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:32] Erik: Crossed off the list.
[0:28:32 – 0:28:32] Erik: What do you got?
[0:28:33 – 0:28:35] Adam: I want to get hammocks out there next.
[0:28:35 – 0:28:44] Adam: I had it initially ranked as a three, but this is another one where I don’t think most of the people are quite at a three when it comes to hammock.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:47] Adam: I might be overvaluing the hammock.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:49] Erik: I was saying you might be even undervaluing it.
[0:28:49 – 0:28:51] Erik: For me personally, I would put that at a two.
[0:28:52 – 0:28:54] Adam: Well, I went with three.
[0:28:54 – 0:29:00] Adam: I could see the argument all the way from like six up to three for a hammock, but I could also see the argument for a two.
[0:29:00 – 0:29:02] Erik: Let’s pencil it in at three then.
[0:29:02 – 0:29:03] Adam: Over in the east?
[0:29:03 – 0:29:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:04] Adam: Yeah?
[0:29:04 – 0:29:07] Adam: You’re going to want the hammock on the east for sure.
[0:29:07 – 0:29:07] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:08 – 0:29:09] Adam: All right.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:10] Adam: I’m happy with that.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:16] Erik: Let’s continue on the same line of camp comfort.
[0:29:17 – 0:29:22] Erik: Let’s talk about your, regardless of brand, camp chair.
[0:29:23 – 0:29:24] Erik: We’ve got the Helinox.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:26] Erik: There’s a Crazy Creek chair.
[0:29:27 – 0:29:31] Adam: My old Crazy Creek that literally you’d put it up against a log.
[0:29:31 – 0:29:33] Erik: Two pieces of fabric.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:36] Adam: It was just literally like having a boat cushion up against a log.
[0:29:37 – 0:29:38] Adam: I’m not sure that counts as a chair.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:38] Adam: No.
[0:29:38 – 0:29:43] Erik: No, we’re talking the ones, the tent poles that set up up off the ground.
[0:29:43 – 0:29:45] Adam: Yeah, I had Helinox on mine.
[0:29:45 – 0:29:46] Adam: I had my Helinox here.
[0:29:46 – 0:29:52] Erik: We’ll call it camp chair, but I think Helinox is the one that I prefer to use.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:55] Erik: And I think five is a pretty solid.
[0:29:56 – 0:29:57] Erik: Yeah, I’ll put it in as camp chair.
[0:29:57 – 0:29:58] Adam: As a five?
[0:29:58 – 0:30:01] Erik: Yeah, five is, I think, I mean, unless you have any.
[0:30:01 – 0:30:04] Adam: I was out ice fishing in one this weekend, and it was really nice.
[0:30:05 – 0:30:05] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:07 – 0:30:13] Adam: I don’t normally bring that ice fishing, but it just seemed like with the amount of sun we’re going to get, I was going to want to try and work on my tan a little bit.
[0:30:13 – 0:30:18] Adam: And the Helinox really is a great chair for tanning and sitting by a fire.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:20] Adam: So a five is fair.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:24] Adam: I had a person listed as a five.
[0:30:24 – 0:30:26] Adam: If we want to stick with fives for a second.
[0:30:26 – 0:30:27] Erik: Continue with people.
[0:30:28 – 0:30:29] Adam: La Banga.
[0:30:29 – 0:30:30] Adam: La Banga.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:31] Adam: The famous portager.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:32] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:30:32 – 0:30:34] Erik: I think I would push him to like a three.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:37] Adam: Yeah, because he can literally carry everything you have.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:39] Erik: Yeah, just here’s all the stuff.
[0:30:39 – 0:30:39] Erik: Put it on your back.
[0:30:39 – 0:30:40] Erik: Let’s put him on a three.
[0:30:41 – 0:30:41] Erik: All right.
[0:30:41 – 0:30:42] Adam: LaBonga’s on as a three.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:44] Erik: I’m down.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:49] Erik: He’s in the three in the west bracket with bent shaft paddles.
[0:30:50 – 0:30:51] Erik: La Bunga.
[0:30:51 – 0:30:55] Erik: If you don’t know who La Bunga is, you’re just going to have to go ahead and research that on your own.
[0:30:55 – 0:30:57] Erik: But he was an expert portager.
[0:30:57 – 0:31:03] Adam: He was said to be able to carry like 500 pounds across the Grand Portage.
[0:31:03 – 0:31:04] Erik: Yeah, beast among men.
[0:31:05 – 0:31:09] Adam: Check out their Grand Portage episode and listen to us crying about our 40-pound packs.
[0:31:10 – 0:31:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:31:11 – 0:31:13] Adam: La Bunga would have laughed us off the portage.
[0:31:13 – 0:31:13] Adam: Yeah.
[0:31:13 – 0:31:40] Adam: let’s get a couple of low seeds in here we haven’t got all right um can i get a 16 seed out yeah do we we haven’t we haven’t made any uh i have a serious 16 seed do it blue jeans blue jeans all right or jean shorts or jorts either way it’s just write it down as blue jeans yeah blue jeans is in uh as a 16 sorry uncle rick yeah but uh we’re making fun of the blue jeans
[0:31:41 – 0:31:44] Adam: There’s so many better options to wear on the lower unit than blow jeans.
[0:31:44 – 0:31:44] SPEAKER_00: Come on.
[0:31:45 – 0:31:46] Erik: Yeah, for sure.
[0:31:46 – 0:31:47] Erik: That one’s a joke, obviously.
[0:31:47 – 0:31:53] Erik: We’ll try to keep away from matching anybody up right away until we get a little bit farther down the list here.
[0:31:53 – 0:31:55] Adam: That’s when we’re going to have to start making some decisions for sure.
[0:31:55 – 0:31:58] Adam: So I’m happy to get through the ones I really want on here.
[0:31:58 – 0:32:01] Adam: I think we should do another 16.
[0:32:01 – 0:32:02] Erik: Okay.
[0:32:02 – 0:32:03] Erik: Unless you argue otherwise.
[0:32:05 – 0:32:08] Erik: Richmore, Turkey, Tetrazzini.
[0:32:12 – 0:32:13] Erik: They must have won a play-in game.
[0:32:13 – 0:32:16] Erik: Yeah, they won their conference tournament.
[0:32:16 – 0:32:17] Erik: They won their conference tournament.
[0:32:17 – 0:32:19] Adam: They won the Richmore tournament.
[0:32:20 – 0:32:21] Erik: Or we could just do Richmore in general.
[0:32:21 – 0:32:25] Adam: Yeah, you should have a Richmore play-in game.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:29] Erik: Chicken Tetrazzini versus spaghetti.
[0:32:29 – 0:32:31] Erik: What is Tetrazzini, Ethan?
[0:32:32 – 0:32:33] Adam: Nobody knows.
[0:32:33 – 0:32:34] Adam: Nobody knows.
[0:32:35 – 0:32:36] Adam: That’s hilarious.
[0:32:36 – 0:32:37] Erik: Yeah, got Tetrazzini.
[0:32:37 – 0:32:42] Erik: It’s just specifically rich, more dehydrated foods, I feel like.
[0:32:45 – 0:32:47] Erik: Let’s continue on maps.
[0:32:48 – 0:32:50] Erik: Or not maps, but food.
[0:32:50 – 0:32:50] Erik: Food.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:55] Erik: Do you want to go on the opposite end of the spectrum and try to…
[0:32:55 – 0:32:59] Adam: This is getting into a little bit of a… We should get Pizza Biters on here.
[0:32:59 – 0:33:00] Adam: Is that what you’re thinking?
[0:33:00 – 0:33:02] Erik: I’m thinking Pizza Biters and Camp Chow.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:03] Adam: Yeah, okay.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:04] Adam: Oh, I see.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:05] Adam: So those are twos.
[0:33:05 – 0:33:06] Adam: Sure, sure.
[0:33:06 – 0:33:08] Erik: I think Pizza Biters is a higher seed.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:12] Adam: Yeah, I originally had Pizza Biters as a one.
[0:33:13 – 0:33:14] Erik: Wow.
[0:33:14 – 0:33:14] Erik: I think it should be a two.
[0:33:14 – 0:33:17] Adam: I may have had a few beers while I was making this list.
[0:33:17 – 0:33:18] Adam: Let’s make it a two just because.
[0:33:18 – 0:33:24] Adam: Well, I just feel like the listeners of Tumble Home are going to be voting hard on Pizza Biter.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:24] Adam: It doesn’t really matter.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:29] Adam: You could put Pizza Biter as a nine seed, and it’s going to tear through the bracket.
[0:33:29 – 0:33:30] Adam: So let’s just be honest.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:33] Adam: It’s going to be a very popular choice.
[0:33:33 – 0:33:35] Erik: It might come down to Sigurd Olsen and Pizza Biters.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:36] Erik: Oh, my God.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:38] Adam: I can’t believe you put them in the East with Sigurd.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:40] Adam: The committee is a cruel one.
[0:33:41 – 0:33:42] Erik: You never know.
[0:33:42 – 0:33:42] Erik: All right.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:45] Erik: I think we should do Camp Chow’s a three somewhere.
[0:33:45 – 0:33:47] Erik: All right.
[0:33:48 – 0:33:48] Erik: No, no, no.
[0:33:48 – 0:33:49] Adam: There’s no more threes left.
[0:33:49 – 0:33:50] Adam: Let’s do it as a four.
[0:33:51 – 0:33:52] Adam: A four or five is fine for Camp Chow.
[0:33:52 – 0:33:54] Adam: It’s still dehydrated food.
[0:33:54 – 0:33:54] Erik: Yes.
[0:33:55 – 0:33:55] Erik: It’s a four.
[0:33:56 – 0:33:56] SPEAKER_00: All right.
[0:33:57 – 0:34:01] Adam: I didn’t have it on here, but my list is about a third of what your list is.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:02] Erik: All right.
[0:34:02 – 0:34:08] Erik: I’m going to go ahead and say we need another one in the game, and that’s going to be Bag of Wine.
[0:34:09 – 0:34:10] Adam: I have Wine Bag on here, yes.
[0:34:11 – 0:34:15] Erik: And it is very clearly a, I think, number one.
[0:34:15 – 0:34:19] Adam: I almost never consider going into the Boundary Outers without a bag of wine at this point.
[0:34:19 – 0:34:23] Adam: I don’t know what that says about me as a person, but I’m just being honest.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:24] Erik: It’s a one.
[0:34:24 – 0:34:32] Erik: That does lead us to our first matchup, which is going to be a bag of wine as a one seed versus Richmore.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:37] Adam: Chicken Tetrazzini versus a Chilable Red in the eastern region.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:40] Erik: Eastern bracket.
[0:34:41 – 0:34:44] Adam: That is a rough matchup.
[0:34:44 – 0:34:46] Adam: They’re winning just by being in the tournament.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:48] Adam: They’re just excited to be there.
[0:34:49 – 0:34:51] Adam: I highly doubt they’re going to surpass 20 points.
[0:34:53 – 0:35:15] Adam: we’ll see though yeah let’s uh let’s that’s why they play the games eric that’s why they play the games how about duct tape we don’t have it on there yeah yeah i always bring duct tape even if it’s just a little bit like folded on itself it’s like a nine right yeah i can see it as a nine see put it in as a nine duct tape you’re in penciled in duct tape um
[0:35:18 – 0:35:21] Erik: How about another person?
[0:35:23 – 0:35:26] Erik: I feel like we have one more one seed left.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:27] Erik: Oh, okay.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:29] Erik: And I think it’s got to be a person.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:29] Erik: Yes.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:32] Erik: And I’m thinking it’s got to be old Chuck Bostrom.
[0:35:32 – 0:35:33] Adam: That’s who I had there.
[0:35:33 – 0:35:34] Adam: Yeah, I had that penciled in.
[0:35:34 – 0:35:36] Adam: The committee is in agreement here.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:40] Adam: It’s a unanimous vote for the Western bracket.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:41] Erik: He’s going up against Bluebees.
[0:35:41 – 0:35:48] Adam: Well, that’s unfortunate because I’m honestly thinking he probably wore blue jeans at some point.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:48] Adam: No, no.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:48] Adam: He wore wool pants.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:51] Adam: He was probably like, wow, this new denim technology.
[0:35:52 – 0:35:55] Adam: Pretty great.
[0:35:55 – 0:35:56] Adam: Buck and logs.
[0:35:56 – 0:35:56] Adam: Buck and logs.
[0:35:56 – 0:35:59] Adam: Nothing beats a nice pair of blue jeans, Eric.
[0:35:59 – 0:36:03] Erik: The blue jeans, it really dumbs down that hatchet when you miss and it comes through and
[0:36:04 – 0:36:09] Adam: That one time when I carried the baby moose across the portage to its mother, I was wearing nothing but jorts.
[0:36:10 – 0:36:11] Erik: Nothing but jorts.
[0:36:11 – 0:36:12] Adam: Awesome.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:15] Erik: Let’s try to… Can I propose a fishing lure?
[0:36:16 – 0:36:17] Erik: We don’t have any fishing lures.
[0:36:17 – 0:36:19] Erik: We don’t have any fishing items on this bracket of champions.
[0:36:19 – 0:36:20] Erik: This one’s for you, Eric.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:21] Adam: I propose X-Wrap.
[0:36:21 – 0:36:22] Adam: I am unseated.
[0:36:22 – 0:36:24] Erik: X-Wrap and cold steel.
[0:36:24 – 0:36:26] Erik: I literally have the same thing written in.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:28] Adam: I know the lures you like.
[0:36:28 – 0:36:29] Adam: What do you want?
[0:36:29 – 0:36:30] Adam: I think that’s a pretty high…
[0:36:31 – 0:36:34] Adam: X-Rap Cold Steel can catch the Grand Slam.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:39] Adam: And if I ever were to lose one in a snag, I would cry.
[0:36:40 – 0:36:40] Erik: I think we should boot.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:42] Erik: How about a four?
[0:36:42 – 0:36:43] Adam: Yeah, a four is fair.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:44] Adam: It’s a fishing lure, for crying out loud.
[0:36:44 – 0:36:46] Adam: I mean, there’s trips where I don’t even fish.
[0:36:46 – 0:36:47] Adam: Right.
[0:36:47 – 0:36:49] Adam: But I know that that’s also an outlier.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:54] Adam: I would think most people out there are going to think fishing lure, that’s a must get.
[0:36:54 – 0:36:55] Erik: Yeah.
[0:36:56 – 0:36:57] Erik: Fresh dill.
[0:36:57 – 0:36:58] Adam: Wow, a freshie.
[0:36:59 – 0:36:59] Adam: All right.
[0:37:00 – 0:37:03] Adam: I don’t have hardly anything in the food categories.
[0:37:03 – 0:37:06] Erik: Yeah, I feel like that’s a low seed, but it’s still a dark curse maybe.
[0:37:06 – 0:37:09] Adam: You’re going to need a fresh dill and a nice frittata, obviously.
[0:37:09 – 0:37:13] Erik: I’m thinking like a 12 to… A 13 seed for fresh dill.
[0:37:13 – 0:37:13] Adam: Fresh dill.
[0:37:13 – 0:37:13] Adam: 12 seed.
[0:37:14 – 0:37:15] Adam: Yeah, 12 seeds.
[0:37:16 – 0:37:17] Erik: It’s going in as a 13.
[0:37:17 – 0:37:21] Adam: 13 sometimes upset the four, but not as much as the 12 does, obviously.
[0:37:21 – 0:37:22] Adam: But that could happen.
[0:37:22 – 0:37:26] Adam: It depends on the four and how much the people are needing their fresh dill.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:31] Adam: I have another food that we should get out.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:32] Adam: Get it in?
[0:37:32 – 0:37:33] Adam: Whole potatoes.
[0:37:33 – 0:37:34] Adam: Whole potatoes.
[0:37:34 – 0:37:35] Adam: Whole potatoes.
[0:37:35 – 0:37:36] Adam: That’s a 15.
[0:37:36 – 0:37:39] Adam: I had it listed as a 16 next to blue jeans over here.
[0:37:39 – 0:37:40] Adam: I don’t know why.
[0:37:40 – 0:37:41] Adam: Oh, we could match it up.
[0:37:41 – 0:37:42] Adam: There’s one more.
[0:37:42 – 0:37:44] Adam: Oh, there’s a couple of 16s left.
[0:37:44 – 0:37:45] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:37:45 – 0:37:47] Erik: Whole potatoes versus Kevlar canoe.
[0:37:48 – 0:37:49] Erik: That’s a shoe-in.
[0:37:49 – 0:37:55] Adam: I think we should maybe use like a 16 on like water bottles or like two liters of soda or something.
[0:37:56 – 0:38:18] Erik: like something more like crazy like a potato is not that crazy a 15 potatoes got it potatoes plural yep um it implies a sack i don’t have to cross that out because i don’t have it on that’s the that’s the first one i’ve had that you didn’t have is potatoes right you know you you could make a nice hash
[0:38:20 – 0:38:22] Erik: How about let’s get into… What about butter?
[0:38:23 – 0:38:24] Adam: Now we’re talking about potatoes.
[0:38:24 – 0:38:25] Adam: We got to have some butter, no?
[0:38:26 – 0:38:28] Erik: I feel like butter is probably like a 15 or a 14.
[0:38:28 – 0:38:31] Adam: Or do we want to just skip butter and go with mayo packet?
[0:38:31 – 0:38:32] Adam: Do you have mayo packet?
[0:38:32 – 0:38:33] Erik: Mayo packet is on my list.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:35] Adam: Well, you don’t really need butter if you have mayo packets.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:36] Erik: Let’s rank mayo packet.
[0:38:36 – 0:38:42] Adam: I feel like that’s a… Yeah, mayo packets, if you’re going to bring potatoes, you better have some mayo packets, friend.
[0:38:42 – 0:38:43] Erik: That’s a 13, I feel like.
[0:38:43 – 0:38:44] Erik: Yeah, that’s fair.
[0:38:47 – 0:38:48] Adam: I don’t know if it is fair.
[0:38:48 – 0:38:50] Adam: Maybe it should have been an 11, but, you know.
[0:38:50 – 0:38:51] Erik: How about Tabasco packet?
[0:38:51 – 0:38:53] Adam: Well, Tabasco should be 11.
[0:38:53 – 0:38:54] Adam: Yeah, then.
[0:38:54 – 0:38:55] Adam: Or another 13 on the other bracket.
[0:38:55 – 0:38:56] Erik: Tabasco’s on the other side.
[0:38:56 – 0:38:58] Adam: Packets are always 13 seeds.
[0:38:59 – 0:38:59] Adam: Everybody knows that.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:00] Erik: Yeah, everybody.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:02] Erik: If you’ve ever followed this tournament.
[0:39:04 – 0:39:07] Erik: Got Tabasco and mayo both out at the same time.
[0:39:07 – 0:39:12] Adam: All right, what about a jet boil or some sort of high-octane single-burner stove?
[0:39:13 – 0:39:18] Adam: I know that a lot of people listening to this will scoff at the notion that you should boil water on the fire.
[0:39:19 – 0:39:42] Adam: like a true voyager but uh there’s something nice about having a like way to just quickly boil water in the morning no yes no i feel like that’s a pretty high i i don’t really feel like it would be voted against honestly i would say that’s a solid five five or six what do you want to call seven though a five i think i would just say like
[0:39:44 – 0:39:45] Adam: Single burner stove.
[0:39:45 – 0:39:46] Adam: Camp stove?
[0:39:46 – 0:39:46] Adam: SBS.
[0:39:47 – 0:39:48] Adam: I call it a camp stove.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:50] Adam: Camp stove, SBS.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:51] Erik: Yeah.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:54] Erik: I don’t even have that one on my list.
[0:39:54 – 0:39:56] Erik: How about a Crazy Creek canoe chair?
[0:39:57 – 0:39:59] Erik: I think I’m going to rate this pretty low for myself.
[0:40:00 – 0:40:06] Adam: I only was carrying mine as a camp chair, so I didn’t even consider it a canoe chair, but I will allow it.
[0:40:06 – 0:40:07] Adam: 14?
[0:40:07 – 0:40:08] Adam: Yeah, it’s a 14 at best.
[0:40:08 – 0:40:11] Erik: Yeah, CCC, Crazy Creek canoe chair.
[0:40:11 – 0:40:11] Adam: Yep.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:14] Erik: What else you got over there?
[0:40:14 – 0:40:14] Erik: Anything?
[0:40:15 – 0:40:18] Adam: I did have gravity filter water system.
[0:40:18 – 0:40:22] Adam: We could just put water filter, but I like a gravity filter.
[0:40:22 – 0:40:23] Adam: But I don’t know.
[0:40:23 – 0:40:25] Adam: Sometimes you need a pump once in a while.
[0:40:26 – 0:40:29] Erik: Do you want to do gravity and pump?
[0:40:30 – 0:40:32] Adam: I would just say water filter of some kind.
[0:40:32 – 0:40:33] Erik: Just water filter?
[0:40:33 – 0:40:39] Adam: Yeah, but, you know, I mean, I’m picturing the MSR, like, hanging filter in camp, but…
[0:40:39 – 0:40:42] Adam: I think just saying, we’re not going to have multiple different water filters on here.
[0:40:43 – 0:40:44] Erik: No, that probably doesn’t make sense.
[0:40:44 – 0:40:52] Adam: Water filter, you know, if we’re going to have a camp stove, then you might as well have a water filter to like, you don’t want to, you know, you got to get the bugs out of that coffee water.
[0:40:54 – 0:40:55] Adam: All the bugs?
[0:40:55 – 0:40:57] Adam: You got to get your coronavirus out of there.
[0:40:58 – 0:41:01] Adam: Is this MSR filter take out coronavirus?
[0:41:01 – 0:41:02] Erik: Yes.
[0:41:03 – 0:41:03] Adam: How about a five?
[0:41:04 – 0:41:05] Adam: For a water filter?
[0:41:05 – 0:41:05] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:05 – 0:41:06] Adam: Four?
[0:41:06 – 0:41:06] Adam: Four?
[0:41:07 – 0:41:08] Adam: I would say like a seven.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:09] Adam: Seven?
[0:41:09 – 0:41:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:09 – 0:41:11] Erik: Well, let’s do water filter at seven then.
[0:41:11 – 0:41:12] Erik: Yeah, that sounds right.
[0:41:13 – 0:41:13] Erik: Okay.
[0:41:14 – 0:41:16] Erik: Just any water filter.
[0:41:16 – 0:41:19] Erik: I don’t even have that on my list.
[0:41:20 – 0:41:26] Adam: What about, I was going to write like a doodle pad, but can I just get one in as art supplies?
[0:41:26 – 0:41:27] Adam: I have that.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:27] Adam: Completely out of that field.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:35] Erik: Yeah, I have it as like journal, general like field recording of like your experience.
[0:41:36 – 0:41:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:41:36 – 0:41:39] Erik: I feel like that’s like between a 7 and a 10.
[0:41:39 – 0:41:41] Adam: What’s the best way to say it though?
[0:41:41 – 0:41:45] Adam: Because if people say art supplies, then they’re going to be like, I don’t want to, I can’t draw chickadee.
[0:41:46 – 0:41:51] Adam: But if you say journal, some people are like, I’m not comfortable writing my thoughts down.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:54] Erik: I think we should just call it a journal as an 11.
[0:41:56 – 0:41:57] Adam: What about just like a notebook?
[0:41:58 – 0:42:00] Erik: Notebook and pen.
[0:42:03 – 0:42:04] Erik: You can do with it what you will.
[0:42:04 – 0:42:05] Erik: Yeah.
[0:42:05 – 0:42:07] Adam: You can draw or you can write your thoughts.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:08] Adam: Yeah.
[0:42:08 – 0:42:09] Adam: Notebook.
[0:42:09 – 0:42:14] Adam: But I liked art supplies because it also could, you know, could be something else.
[0:42:15 – 0:42:16] Adam: What’s in that bin there, Adam?
[0:42:16 – 0:42:17] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:42:17 – 0:42:17] Adam: Art supplies?
[0:42:18 – 0:42:19] Erik: I’m going to put forward.
[0:42:19 – 0:42:20] Erik: We’ve got all of our ones filled.
[0:42:20 – 0:42:24] Erik: I’m putting forward a 16 here with a hip strap.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:28] UNKNOWN: What?
[0:42:28 – 0:42:32] Erik: All right.
[0:42:32 – 0:42:33] Adam: Who’s that one going against?
[0:42:33 – 0:42:33] Adam: Do we have a matchup?
[0:42:33 – 0:42:36] Adam: Hip strap is going up against Kevlar Canoes.
[0:42:36 – 0:42:36] Adam: Wow.
[0:42:37 – 0:42:37] Adam: Tough.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:41] Adam: That’s a tough draw out of the strap conference.
[0:42:42 – 0:42:47] Erik: In that same vein, where would you put tump lines?
[0:42:49 – 0:42:50] Adam: At least a 14 for a tump.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:52] Adam: I’ve never actually used a tump line.
[0:42:52 – 0:42:52] Adam: 14?
[0:42:52 – 0:42:57] Adam: Yeah, it would be a cruel twist of fate to have a tump line versus a bonga.
[0:42:59 – 0:43:01] Erik: We can do a hammock versus tump line.
[0:43:01 – 0:43:01] Erik: That’s another.
[0:43:01 – 0:43:04] Erik: Yeah, let’s put it there.
[0:43:04 – 0:43:05] Erik: Tump line.
[0:43:08 – 0:43:09] Erik: All right, crossing out tump line.
[0:43:11 – 0:43:17] Erik: How about we’ve got, I think we should do another person.
[0:43:18 – 0:43:19] Adam: You have more people.
[0:43:19 – 0:43:20] Adam: Oh, I’ve got more people.
[0:43:20 – 0:43:22] Adam: How about Benny Ambrose?
[0:43:22 – 0:43:23] Adam: Ooh, the wild man.
[0:43:23 – 0:43:24] Adam: The wild man.
[0:43:25 – 0:43:26] Adam: Caution, wild man ahead.
[0:43:26 – 0:43:27] Adam: Turn back.
[0:43:27 – 0:43:28] Erik: Could you imagine?
[0:43:28 – 0:43:31] Erik: I don’t think he’s a high number, but I think he’s…
[0:43:31 – 0:43:33] Adam: He’ll even do a trip with you.
[0:43:33 – 0:43:34] Adam: That would be the real question.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:37] Erik: I would say like a six for Benny.
[0:43:39 – 0:43:41] Erik: Five?
[0:43:41 – 0:43:42] Erik: Six seems all right.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:46] Erik: Never in a thousand years did I ever think I was going to be having these conversations.
[0:43:48 – 0:43:49] Erik: We’ve got some twos to fill.
[0:43:50 – 0:43:50] Adam: We do?
[0:43:50 – 0:43:51] Adam: Yeah.
[0:43:53 – 0:43:55] Adam: What about like a saw?
[0:43:55 – 0:43:58] Erik: Yeah, I’ve got Sven and Silky Boys.
[0:43:59 – 0:43:59] Erik: Well.
[0:44:01 – 0:44:02] Adam: Silky Boys.
[0:44:02 – 0:44:05] Erik: Do you want to differentiate or just camp saw?
[0:44:06 – 0:44:08] Adam: Well, yeah, I think it’s just going to have to say camp.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:10] Adam: This is one where you just got to say saw.
[0:44:10 – 0:44:11] Adam: Well, then that’s a two.
[0:44:11 – 0:44:12] Adam: That’s a two.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:14] Adam: And I think it’s a very important one.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:17] Adam: We were actually having some very deep conversations out in the yurt.
[0:44:18 – 0:44:20] Adam: But what would you actually truly bring?
[0:44:20 – 0:44:22] Adam: We’re not joking around.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:23] Adam: You can’t bring Bostrom.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:24] Adam: He’s a ghost.
[0:44:24 – 0:44:25] Adam: He’s not going to really be helpful.
[0:44:25 – 0:44:26] Adam: Right.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:29] Adam: Wait, or is he?
[0:44:30 – 0:44:35] Adam: But no, you need something that if you really had to survive, we were like putting some conditions on it.
[0:44:35 – 0:44:38] Adam: Then like, well, if you had to make it a month, what would you bring?
[0:44:38 – 0:44:41] Adam: And I think saw or like hatchet was up there.
[0:44:41 – 0:44:43] Erik: Hatchet is also on the list.
[0:44:43 – 0:44:44] Erik: I think that could be a three.
[0:44:44 – 0:44:50] Adam: I think a hatchet’s way up the list, but I mean, I, I tend to not, it’s not really a hatchet.
[0:44:50 – 0:44:53] Adam: It’s more of like a splitting, um, ax, uh,
[0:44:54 – 0:44:55] Adam: is what I really like to bring.
[0:44:56 – 0:44:58] Adam: I really don’t actually want a hatchet.
[0:44:58 – 0:45:00] Adam: I want a saw and then something to split with.
[0:45:01 – 0:45:04] Adam: And you can split with a hatchet, sure, but I’d rather have a hatchet.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:05] Adam: All right.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:06] Adam: Hatchet.
[0:45:06 – 0:45:10] Adam: Everybody knows there’s no splitting mauls in the bracket.
[0:45:11 – 0:45:12] Adam: So if you like any maul…
[0:45:13 – 0:45:15] Erik: I don’t think a splitting maul should ever be brought into the Boundary Waters.
[0:45:16 – 0:45:17] Erik: Splitting maul?
[0:45:17 – 0:45:17] Erik: Oh.
[0:45:19 – 0:45:19] Adam: You are wrong.
[0:45:20 – 0:45:22] Adam: Oh, you are so wrong.
[0:45:22 – 0:45:23] Erik: How about, yeah, all right.
[0:45:23 – 0:45:25] Adam: Yeah, definitely room for a splitting ball.
[0:45:25 – 0:45:29] Adam: I would just say like a wedge, a sharpened metal wedge.
[0:45:30 – 0:45:31] Erik: Sharpened wedge.
[0:45:31 – 0:45:34] Adam: Yeah, I think that should be the entry, sharpened metal wedge.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:35] Adam: That sounds catchy.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:37] Adam: I’m going to put it in as hatchet.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:39] Adam: All right.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:41] Adam: Yeah, we’re putting it in as hatchet.
[0:45:41 – 0:45:42] Adam: It’s a hatchet.
[0:45:42 – 0:45:42] Adam: As a four?
[0:45:43 – 0:45:44] Adam: You can have a big hatchet if you want.
[0:45:45 – 0:46:06] Erik: yes all right and that’s a four all right going up against fresh dill i i smell it and upset my yeah yeah because uh how are you gonna cook that dill into a nice frittata if you don’t have nice wood though yeah yeah all right speaking of wood we’ve got birch bark you don’t need to bring birch bark though
[0:46:07 – 0:46:08] Erik: I’m not saying it’s not a bring thing.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:11] Adam: Oh, see, I think that’s I was like, I’m packing.
[0:46:12 – 0:46:13] Adam: I’m in the outfitting room right now.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:15] Adam: Like, am I grabbing birch bark or what?
[0:46:15 – 0:46:18] Erik: Oh, I haven’t even gotten to some of the other intangibles here.
[0:46:18 – 0:46:19] Erik: There’s an intangibles.
[0:46:19 – 0:46:22] Adam: Yeah, we didn’t even I didn’t even know about that category.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:23] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:26] Erik: Well, these are things that would enhance your experience.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:26] Adam: True.
[0:46:26 – 0:46:28] Erik: Whether you could decide on it or not.
[0:46:28 – 0:46:30] Adam: So it’s things that would enhance your experience.
[0:46:30 – 0:46:32] Adam: Not like you’re in the campsite then.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:33] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:35] Adam: And it’s not really what you brought.
[0:46:35 – 0:46:37] Adam: It’s like, what do I want right now in camp?
[0:46:37 – 0:46:37] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:37 – 0:46:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:38 – 0:47:07] Adam: hmm see i was kind of picturing it as like what am i packing in the pack first but i see what you’re saying yeah no there is yeah to like you know have your hand on a fistful of birch bark is sweet hey like we said this is a perfect system so we’ve got it all figured out i’d feel sick just saying fire starter too so let’s just say birch bark all right let’s if we’re gonna put fire starter in anyone no we’re not as a 16 seed no that’s why we just have birch bark birch bark is like a seven fans of fire starters can vote on birch bark i guess
[0:47:08 – 0:47:28] Erik: put birchbark in as a seven all right that sounds good all right in the same conversation we’re talking fires still cedar kindling
[0:47:31 – 0:47:34] Adam: Yeah, I’ll just say, like, yeah, that’s a good one.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:37] Adam: I’m not going to amend that in any way.
[0:47:37 – 0:47:39] Erik: Put it in as an 11.
[0:47:39 – 0:47:41] Erik: I vote for cedar kindling as an 11.
[0:47:41 – 0:47:43] Erik: I wouldn’t want to be that sixth seed.
[0:47:43 – 0:47:44] Erik: How about a Bic lighter?
[0:47:45 – 0:47:46] Adam: Yeah, no, I actually had that.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:47] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:49] Adam: I had a different list or something.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:52] Adam: I know some of these I had on my list.
[0:47:52 – 0:47:55] Adam: I must have had a starter list going at some point that I lost.
[0:47:55 – 0:47:57] Erik: I think a Bic lighter is a solid eight.
[0:47:57 – 0:47:58] Adam: I like bringing a Bic lighter.
[0:47:58 – 0:48:05] Adam: I’m sure you can bring your little sparky things or whatever, but I don’t know.
[0:48:05 – 0:48:09] Adam: A Bic lighter costs like a buck, and they’re good to have.
[0:48:09 – 0:48:10] Adam: Good to have two of them, honestly.
[0:48:11 – 0:48:11] SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
[0:48:12 – 0:48:39] Adam: uh cook custom sewing rainfly yeah awesome uh 10 by 10 yeah give me a 10 by 10 i don’t think there’s any three oh there is a three seed left for a nice rainfly i feel like it’s a two or a three and you’re it is a cook custom if you don’t need it it doesn’t matter but if you need it it’s amazing to have yeah they really could make them break a trip i love i i almost would never leave without one for sure no they’re so light and they just pack up i had rainfly on there
[0:48:41 – 0:48:41] Adam: Got it.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:42] Adam: All right.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:47] Adam: What about a hand crank weather radio?
[0:48:47 – 0:48:48] Adam: Do you have that on your list?
[0:48:49 – 0:48:50] Erik: I don’t, actually.
[0:48:51 – 0:48:52] Adam: And I think it should be included.
[0:48:52 – 0:48:53] Adam: I don’t think it’s a high seed.
[0:48:54 – 0:48:55] Adam: I had it listed as like a 10.
[0:48:56 – 0:48:57] Erik: Yeah, let’s put it in as a 10.
[0:48:57 – 0:48:58] Erik: All right.
[0:48:58 – 0:48:59] Erik: Hand crank.
[0:48:59 – 0:49:03] Erik: We have had some fun with that besides the radio.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:04] Adam: Obviously, it gets AM FM.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:05] Adam: Yeah.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:07] Adam: Yeah, and it has an EVP meter.
[0:49:08 – 0:49:08] Adam: Metre.
[0:49:09 – 0:49:13] Erik: All right, we’ve got some twos that we still need to fill out here.
[0:49:14 – 0:49:15] Erik: Yeah.
[0:49:15 – 0:49:16] Erik: What about fishing pole?
[0:49:17 – 0:49:17] Erik: Two twos.
[0:49:17 – 0:49:18] Erik: Fishing pole.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:19] Adam: Yeah.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:20] Adam: Fishing rig.
[0:49:21 – 0:49:22] Erik: I mean, it’s pretty…
[0:49:23 – 0:49:29] Erik: Yeah, it’d be hard to say to not have a fishing pole on.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:34] Erik: Just generally, we’re not going to have an in-depth conversation about fishing poles.
[0:49:34 – 0:49:40] Adam: No, it also is a placeholder for tip-up or a jigging rod if you’re in the winter trip.
[0:49:41 – 0:49:43] Adam: Just some sort of contraption for catching the fish.
[0:49:43 – 0:49:48] Adam: If we’re going to have lures on here, we’ve got to have some way to cast them or jig them, right?
[0:49:48 – 0:49:50] Erik: Yes, we have a fishing pole.
[0:49:50 – 0:49:51] Erik: There’s a two?
[0:49:52 – 0:49:53] Erik: That is a solid two.
[0:49:53 – 0:49:54] Adam: Yeah, that’s a good two.
[0:49:56 – 0:49:57] Erik: Do we want any other fishing?
[0:49:58 – 0:49:59] Erik: You’ve got Little Cleo.
[0:49:59 – 0:50:00] Adam: I have Little Cleo there.
[0:50:00 – 0:50:02] Adam: Yeah, we should bring a Little Cleo.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:03] Erik: That’s a five.
[0:50:05 – 0:50:06] Adam: What was the X-Wrap?
[0:50:07 – 0:50:08] Erik: That’s a good question.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:09] Erik: Where is the X-Wrap?
[0:50:09 – 0:50:10] Erik: X-Wrap’s a four.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:12] Adam: Yeah, that is right then.
[0:50:14 – 0:50:18] Adam: I could argue the Cleo at like a six or something, but I’m okay with it as a five.
[0:50:18 – 0:50:20] Erik: That’s a general, like any size and color.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:21] Adam: Jeez, you can catch anything on that.
[0:50:21 – 0:50:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:50:22 – 0:50:22] Erik: Another one.
[0:50:22 – 0:50:29] Erik: I think maybe if there’s one other lure that I could see getting thrown into the mix would be a Meps of some sort.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:32] Adam: Yeah, I’ve caught 50 fish on a Meps in a day.
[0:50:32 – 0:50:34] Adam: I feel like that could be like a 12.
[0:50:34 – 0:50:36] Adam: Like a Meps number three.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:36] Adam: Yeah.
[0:50:37 – 0:50:39] Adam: With the silver blade.
[0:50:39 – 0:50:40] Erik: Let’s put it in as a 12.
[0:50:42 – 0:50:48] Adam: Yeah, I had Swedish Pimple on here too, but that’s not a four-season lure.
[0:50:48 – 0:50:49] Erik: Sorry.
[0:50:50 – 0:50:53] Erik: How about some polarized specs?
[0:50:53 – 0:50:54] Adam: Ooh, yeah, I didn’t think of that.
[0:50:54 – 0:50:57] Adam: And you’ve got to protect your eyes, friends.
[0:50:57 – 0:50:58] Adam: Yeah, I’m going to rate that one.
[0:50:58 – 0:50:59] Adam: Your eyes are precious.
[0:50:59 – 0:51:07] Erik: I’m going to rate that one about as high as I possibly can at this point without going with the final two spot.
[0:51:08 – 0:51:09] Erik: which would be a four.
[0:51:09 – 0:51:13] Erik: I think polarized sunglasses on a sunny trip.
[0:51:14 – 0:51:16] Erik: Without them, you’re going to be feeling the pain.
[0:51:16 – 0:51:18] Erik: Yeah, you’re going to end up with a headache.
[0:51:19 – 0:51:22] Erik: So, yeah, we’ve got polarized specs going up against mayo packets.
[0:51:23 – 0:51:23] Erik: Ooh.
[0:51:24 – 0:51:25] Erik: Yeah, that’s tough.
[0:51:26 – 0:51:26] Adam: How do you pick?
[0:51:27 – 0:51:28] Adam: How do you pick between those two?
[0:51:28 – 0:51:29] Erik: Yeah, very tough.
[0:51:30 – 0:51:32] Erik: Very tough.
[0:51:35 – 0:51:35] Erik: Let’s do…
[0:51:38 – 0:51:38] Adam: What about DEET?
[0:51:39 – 0:51:40] Erik: Bug spray?
[0:51:40 – 0:51:41] Adam: Bug spray.
[0:51:41 – 0:51:44] Adam: I was going to say bug net, but I don’t know.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:45] Adam: That’s really hammock specific.
[0:51:46 – 0:51:51] Erik: For myself personally, I put that pretty low just based on my needs.
[0:51:52 – 0:51:53] Erik: But I think it’s definitely important.
[0:51:54 – 0:51:56] Adam: And I think it’s in the top 64 of things.
[0:51:57 – 0:51:58] Adam: Just bug repellent?
[0:51:58 – 0:51:58] Adam: 14.
[0:51:58 – 0:52:00] Adam: Can we just say bug repellent?
[0:52:00 – 0:52:01] Adam: Bug spray, bug repellent.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:01] Adam: 14?
[0:52:01 – 0:52:01] Adam: 11?
[0:52:02 – 0:52:02] Adam: 11?
[0:52:03 – 0:52:04] Adam: Yeah, I think it’s more of an 11.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:06] Adam: I almost always bring it.
[0:52:07 – 0:52:09] Adam: I don’t always use it, but I always bring it.
[0:52:09 – 0:52:09] Erik: How about a 10?
[0:52:10 – 0:52:11] Adam: Yeah, that sounds good.
[0:52:11 – 0:52:16] Adam: And then do we want to talk about, you know, sunblock?
[0:52:17 – 0:52:18] Adam: Got to protect that skin.
[0:52:19 – 0:52:20] Adam: That’s our moneymaker, Eric.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:22] Adam: Look at that beautiful face.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:23] Adam: Another 10.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:24] Adam: So handsome.
[0:52:25 – 0:52:27] Adam: You need to protect that handsome face, Eric.
[0:52:27 – 0:52:27] Erik: SPF.
[0:52:28 – 0:52:30] Adam: SPF something.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:31] Adam: For me, it was a 45.
[0:52:31 – 0:52:34] Erik: Bug spray in as a 10 and SPF in as a 10.
[0:52:35 – 0:52:37] Adam: Yeah, those are important.
[0:52:38 – 0:52:39] Erik: So those are two 7-10 matchups.
[0:52:40 – 0:52:45] Erik: Bent shaft paddles versus bug spray and water filters versus SPF.
[0:52:45 – 0:52:46] Adam: Oh, man.
[0:52:47 – 0:52:48] Adam: Now these are tough decisions.
[0:52:49 – 0:52:51] Erik: I know.
[0:52:55 – 0:52:56] Adam: First aid kit?
[0:52:57 – 0:52:57] Adam: Boo.
[0:52:57 – 0:53:01] Erik: No, we need to… That might be our final two.
[0:53:02 – 0:53:02] Erik: Is that two?
[0:53:03 – 0:53:06] Erik: Either that or it’s Dorothy Malter or Justine Kerfoot.
[0:53:06 – 0:53:07] SPEAKER_00: Wow.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:10] Erik: I think those are the last of the people.
[0:53:11 – 0:53:15] Adam: Yeah, I have nothing left on my list that would even approach a two seed, so…
[0:53:15 – 0:53:21] Erik: I mean, other things that could maybe come up as a two.
[0:53:21 – 0:53:25] Erik: So I got first aid, Dorothy Malter.
[0:53:25 – 0:53:28] Erik: I feel like she’s probably a little bit lower.
[0:53:28 – 0:53:32] Erik: She’s not like an in the field great person to have along.
[0:53:33 – 0:53:35] Adam: Not that there’s anything wrong with Dorothy Malter.
[0:53:35 – 0:53:37] Adam: Yeah, who knows how she traveled.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:44] Erik: And then the only other thing that could potentially fight for number two is just tailwinds.
[0:53:45 – 0:53:47] Erik: Tailwinds all day.
[0:53:47 – 0:53:47] Erik: Tailwinds.
[0:53:47 – 0:53:50] Adam: I think there’s some other things that are intangibles.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:56] Adam: Just with Dorothy Moulter, what did we have Benny Ambrose listed at?
[0:53:56 – 0:53:57] Adam: Like a five or six?
[0:53:58 – 0:53:59] Erik: He’s a six.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:03] Adam: Yeah, so I would say that’s a fair grade for Dorothy.
[0:54:04 – 0:54:05] Erik: Okay.
[0:54:05 – 0:54:07] Erik: She’s going in at a six on the other side.
[0:54:07 – 0:54:08] Erik: Yeah, so they could meet.
[0:54:09 – 0:54:11] Erik: Up against, yeah, in the finals.
[0:54:11 – 0:54:12] Erik: That would be…
[0:54:14 – 0:54:16] Erik: So Dorothy Malter is going in at a six.
[0:54:16 – 0:54:20] Erik: She’s going up against art supplies slash notebooks and pens.
[0:54:21 – 0:54:21] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:54:23 – 0:54:24] Adam: Do we have to reveal what we voted for?
[0:54:25 – 0:54:26] Erik: No, not tonight.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:27] Adam: Okay.
[0:54:27 – 0:54:28] Erik: No.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:30] Erik: How about Instant Coffee?
[0:54:30 – 0:54:32] Erik: Specifically, Medagli and Diora?
[0:54:32 – 0:54:34] Adam: Absolutely, yes.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:36] Adam: Yeah, what you said, the Diagilo.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:38] Adam: That’s a nine?
[0:54:38 – 0:54:39] Adam: Absolutely, it’s a nine.
[0:54:39 – 0:54:41] Adam: It might be even more than a nine.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:43] Adam: Yeah, let’s give it a five.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:45] Adam: This is 2020.
[0:54:45 – 0:54:46] Adam: I’d say it might be a two.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:47] Adam: No.
[0:54:48 – 0:54:49] Adam: Are you going on a trip without some?
[0:54:50 – 0:54:50] Adam: Ever?
[0:54:51 – 0:54:55] Adam: Would you ever leave home without some instant coffee crystals at this point?
[0:54:55 – 0:54:56] Adam: We’re not bringing a press.
[0:54:56 – 0:54:57] Adam: We’re not bringing whole beans.
[0:54:57 – 0:54:58] Adam: We’re not bringing a grinder.
[0:54:58 – 0:55:01] Adam: We’re not bringing a can of Folgers.
[0:55:01 – 0:55:02] Adam: Mark it down.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:02] Adam: That was 55.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:03] Adam: Mark that down.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:05] Adam: I’m such an idiot.
[0:55:05 – 0:55:05] Erik: All right.
[0:55:05 – 0:55:06] Erik: Let’s do it.
[0:55:06 – 0:55:09] Erik: Let’s put it in as the last remaining two.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:10] Erik: Instant coffee.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:15] Adam: Yeah, the only other things I was thinking about was, like, nice sunset.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:16 – 0:55:32] Adam: yeah no northern lights like something that would really you know a moose which walks up to you and licks you in the face that could be the only thing that i could see going in as a two seed that isn’t in there now yeah these are experiences they’re not things yes how about muck boots
[0:55:32 – 0:55:34] Adam: I had muck boots in here as like an eight.
[0:55:34 – 0:55:35] Adam: Got it.
[0:55:35 – 0:55:36] Adam: It’s in it as an eight.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:36] Adam: Yeah.
[0:55:37 – 0:55:39] Adam: That was one of my last ones I had.
[0:55:39 – 0:55:40] Adam: Chacos?
[0:55:40 – 0:55:43] Adam: And if we’re going to talk about muck boots, are we talking about like Tevas?
[0:55:44 – 0:55:44] Adam: Tevas?
[0:55:45 – 0:55:45] Adam: All right.
[0:55:45 – 0:55:46] Erik: Slash Chacos?
[0:55:46 – 0:55:47] Erik: Any kind of a… Just a sandal.
[0:55:48 – 0:55:48] Erik: All right.
[0:55:48 – 0:55:49] Erik: A decent like…
[0:55:50 – 0:55:51] Adam: Solid water shoe?
[0:55:51 – 0:55:53] Adam: Do you just want to say a wet shoe?
[0:55:54 – 0:55:55] Adam: Wet shoe of any kind.
[0:55:55 – 0:55:56] Adam: Muck boot, you’re trying to be dry.
[0:55:56 – 0:55:57] Erik: Yeah.
[0:55:57 – 0:55:59] Adam: I would say whatever your preferred wet.
[0:55:59 – 0:56:02] Adam: I would go with like the Astral water boot now at this point.
[0:56:02 – 0:56:03] Erik: I would rank that pretty high.
[0:56:03 – 0:56:04] Erik: I’m putting it as a six.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:05] Adam: Yeah, wet shoe.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:09] Adam: Yeah, your footwear, you really can’t overestimate.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:11] Erik: That’s going up against Tabasco packets.
[0:56:13 – 0:56:13] Adam: That’s tough.
[0:56:13 – 0:56:16] Adam: Wet shoe versus Tabasco packet?
[0:56:16 – 0:56:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:56:17 – 0:56:17] Adam: Oh, dear.
[0:56:18 – 0:56:20] Erik: I don’t think we ever put tailwinds anywhere, did we?
[0:56:20 – 0:56:24] Adam: My friend Juan is going to have a real hard time determining that vote.
[0:56:26 – 0:56:26] Adam: Hoo-wee.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:29] Erik: Let’s put tailwinds in as a seven.
[0:56:31 – 0:56:31] Adam: Tailwinds?
[0:56:31 – 0:56:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:32 – 0:56:34] Adam: There’s not very many high seeds left.
[0:56:35 – 0:56:35] Adam: That’s okay.
[0:56:36 – 0:56:40] Adam: How many open spots do you think we have at this point?
[0:56:40 – 0:56:42] Erik: Less than half, well under half.
[0:56:43 – 0:56:44] Adam: Well, that’s good.
[0:56:44 – 0:56:45] Erik: How about chubbies?
[0:56:46 – 0:56:48] Erik: That’s a 15, right?
[0:56:49 – 0:56:52] Erik: Chubby swimming shorts or just extra short shorts.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:53] Adam: Nice.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:56:53 – 0:56:54] Adam: Nice shorts.
[0:56:55 – 0:56:56] Adam: Chubbies.
[0:56:56 – 0:56:56] Adam: Just go with chubbies.
[0:56:56 – 0:56:57] Erik: Just go with chubbies.
[0:56:57 – 0:57:00] Adam: If you don’t know what chubbies are, just Google it.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:01] Adam: How about…
[0:57:01 – 0:57:03] Adam: Wait, what’s chubbies going against there?
[0:57:03 – 0:57:30] Adam: campsaw oh sorry chubby yeah sorry chubby sorry to do you like that but we had to get you in the bracket right yeah out of the fashion conference i feel like uh leatherman slash like all purpose like tool yeah uh pretty good like i had like a lay knife still out there but uh i don’t know if lay knife and if there’s enough room for fillet knife and a multi-tool
[0:57:31 – 0:57:32] Erik: Yeah, multi-tool.
[0:57:32 – 0:57:34] Adam: I would rather have a fillet knife than a multi-tool.
[0:57:34 – 0:57:36] Adam: We’re going to have a hatchet, probably.
[0:57:37 – 0:57:40] Adam: Anything that makes the Elite 8 is probably getting packed.
[0:57:40 – 0:57:41] Adam: Let’s be honest.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:41] Erik: Right.
[0:57:42 – 0:57:44] Erik: A fillet knife, let’s put a fillet knife in at 8.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:46] Adam: Okay.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:47] Adam: That’s fair.
[0:57:47 – 0:57:55] Erik: And the multi-tool, which does include a pliers and a file, in at a 9.
[0:57:56 – 0:57:56] Erik: Okay, yeah.
[0:57:56 – 0:57:57] Erik: I like that.
[0:57:58 – 0:57:59] Erik: Going up against muck boots.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:07] Adam: What about, do we have to put like safety equipment, like life jacket or just obvious stuff?
[0:58:07 – 0:58:10] Adam: No, I don’t think so.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:12] Adam: I mean, we don’t have tent in there yet.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:14] Erik: Yeah, I mean.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:15] Adam: But we have hammock.
[0:58:15 – 0:58:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:15 – 0:58:17] Adam: You know how we feel, folks.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:17] Erik: Right.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:18] Erik: Let’s just put tent in.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:19] Adam: We don’t have tent.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:58:20 – 0:58:21] Adam: We don’t have tent.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:21] Adam: Let’s put it in.
[0:58:21 – 0:58:27] Adam: I’m taking an old school 90s Eureka Timberline 4, but you can just go with tent.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:32] Erik: I’m just going to put it in as a, yeah, tent your choice.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:34] Erik: Tent against what?
[0:58:34 – 0:58:35] Erik: Cedar kindling.
[0:58:36 – 0:58:38] SPEAKER_00: Tell you which one I’d choose.
[0:58:38 – 0:58:41] Adam: Yeah, sleep on the ground next to your cedar kindling fire.
[0:58:41 – 0:58:41] Adam: Yep.
[0:58:42 – 0:58:42] Adam: All right.
[0:58:43 – 0:58:44] Adam: So we got tent in there.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:45] Adam: Tang and Jerry’s.
[0:58:46 – 0:58:46] Adam: What about sleeping bag?
[0:58:46 – 0:58:48] Adam: We don’t even have sleeping bag in yet.
[0:58:48 – 0:58:51] Adam: That’s true, but it’s like kind of one of those things where it’s not really.
[0:58:51 – 0:58:54] Adam: It’s so obvious that you’re definitely bringing it, but that’s not fair.
[0:58:54 – 0:58:56] Adam: I mean, we have everything else in there.
[0:58:57 – 0:58:57] Adam: Yeah, yes.
[0:58:58 – 0:59:03] Adam: We may have to move something around because I would literally never leave without a sleeping bag unless it was like the middle of August.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:04] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:04 – 0:59:06] Adam: So that one might need to be up there.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:12] Erik: Yeah, no, I think sleeping bags should probably replace the…
[0:59:13 – 0:59:15] Adam: This is why we’re doing it in pencil at first.
[0:59:15 – 0:59:21] Erik: Yeah, should probably replace the custom fly tent going in as a three.
[0:59:22 – 0:59:24] Erik: And the custom fly is moving down to a ten.
[0:59:25 – 0:59:26] Adam: A ten for the rain fly.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:30] Adam: Yeah, I mean, that’s probably the way it should go.
[0:59:30 – 0:59:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:59:32 – 0:59:36] Adam: Yeah, I think we might have to do more of this as we go on because we’re going to find other stuff we have to bump out.
[0:59:37 – 1:00:00] Erik: uh yeah um did we so we did we never put tang and jerry’s in anywhere that’s a deep 13 wow the tang and jerry’s tang and jerry’s uh we’re uh getting down there and what we’ve got here i have a welding mitt do you want to bring a welding mitt
[1:00:01 – 1:00:03] Erik: I think that could go in as a 14.
[1:00:03 – 1:00:05] Adam: Always good to protect your hands.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:07] Adam: We were talking just recently about protecting the feet.
[1:00:08 – 1:00:11] Adam: Important to protect those paddling paws, friends.
[1:00:12 – 1:00:13] Erik: Paddling paws.
[1:00:13 – 1:00:15] Erik: We still haven’t gotten Justine Kerfoot in anywhere.
[1:00:16 – 1:00:16] Adam: Oh, dear.
[1:00:17 – 1:00:17] Adam: Yeah, right?
[1:00:17 – 1:00:23] Adam: Well, she should be like a three if we don’t have any threes left, do we?
[1:00:23 – 1:00:24] Adam: No, we don’t.
[1:00:24 – 1:00:27] Adam: She should be higher up than Benny or Dorothy.
[1:00:27 – 1:00:28] Erik: Yeah.
[1:00:29 – 1:00:31] Adam: But not at the level of Charlie or Sig.
[1:00:32 – 1:00:32] Adam: Am I wrong?
[1:00:33 – 1:00:33] Adam: No.
[1:00:33 – 1:00:34] Adam: She should be a four.
[1:00:34 – 1:00:34] Adam: Easy.
[1:00:34 – 1:00:36] Adam: Do we have any fours we can bump?
[1:00:36 – 1:00:40] Adam: The thing is, now we’re bumping, we don’t have any medium.
[1:00:40 – 1:00:42] Adam: We have an eight and a nine open.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:44] Adam: Oh, boy.
[1:00:45 – 1:00:46] Adam: Yeah.
[1:00:46 – 1:00:48] Adam: Well, I don’t know.
[1:00:48 – 1:00:53] Adam: She could be, well, maybe she didn’t have a great regular season and she got in as an eight.
[1:00:53 – 1:00:53] Adam: Yeah.
[1:00:53 – 1:00:55] Adam: Just put Justine as that eight, I would say.
[1:00:57 – 1:01:00] Erik: She’s going to end up going up against a bag of wine.
[1:01:00 – 1:01:01] Erik: Wait, where’s LaBunga?
[1:01:02 – 1:01:06] Erik: La Bunga is the three down there.
[1:01:06 – 1:01:08] Erik: He’s going up against Weldingman.
[1:01:08 – 1:01:10] Adam: Well, sometimes the committee isn’t fair.
[1:01:10 – 1:01:11] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:11 – 1:01:12] Adam: Sorry, Justine, but.
[1:01:15 – 1:01:15] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:17 – 1:01:24] Erik: I think at this point all I’ve got left is just like experiences or things that are a little bit… What about Coghlan’s Camp Troff?
[1:01:25 – 1:01:26] Adam: Camp Troff?
[1:01:26 – 1:01:27] Adam: Yeah, we need to get Camp Troff in there.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:28] Erik: He’s going… Yeah, all right.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:30] Erik: He’s going to… That’s the 16 against Sig.
[1:01:31 – 1:01:34] Erik: The number one won against the last team in.
[1:01:34 – 1:01:34] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:35 – 1:01:35] Erik: Camp Troff.
[1:01:36 – 1:01:38] Erik: There could be a serious… No.
[1:01:38 – 1:01:39] Erik: No way.
[1:01:39 – 1:01:40] Erik: I swear to God.
[1:01:40 – 1:01:41] Erik: I’ll quit doing the podcast.
[1:01:41 – 1:01:42] Erik: I’ll quit the podcast if Camp Troff wins.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:43] Erik: That’s a joke.
[1:01:43 – 1:01:44] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:48 – 1:01:50] Erik: I got a wool button-up shirt.
[1:01:50 – 1:01:52] Erik: What the heck’s that?
[1:01:52 – 1:01:52] Adam: It’s a shirt.
[1:01:53 – 1:01:53] Adam: Wool shirt.
[1:01:53 – 1:01:54] Adam: Wool shirt, yeah.
[1:01:55 – 1:01:57] Adam: I would go with a raggedy old hoodie.
[1:01:59 – 1:02:00] Erik: Raggedy old hoodie.
[1:02:00 – 1:02:02] Erik: That’s a 15 against fishing pole.
[1:02:02 – 1:02:04] Adam: I love a good old hoodie.
[1:02:05 – 1:02:06] Adam: You can just throw it on.
[1:02:06 – 1:02:08] Adam: Don’t care how much smoke gets on it.
[1:02:08 – 1:02:11] Adam: Don’t care how many blood and guts gets on it.
[1:02:11 – 1:02:13] Adam: You can wear that thing into the bloody guts.
[1:02:13 – 1:02:14] Adam: What was it called?
[1:02:14 – 1:02:15] Adam: Faction.
[1:02:15 – 1:02:15] Adam: Bucket of blood.
[1:02:15 – 1:02:16] Adam: The bucket of blood.
[1:02:16 – 1:02:18] Adam: You can wear it.
[1:02:19 – 1:02:20] Adam: It should have been called the bloody guts.
[1:02:20 – 1:02:24] Adam: You can wear it in the bucket of blood on the first day of the trip and then when you get off.
[1:02:24 – 1:02:25] Adam: It doesn’t matter.
[1:02:25 – 1:02:27] Adam: And you can use it as a pillow.
[1:02:27 – 1:02:28] Adam: Honestly, I have 15.
[1:02:28 – 1:02:29] Adam: See, that’s a steal.
[1:02:29 – 1:02:30] Adam: I might vote for that one.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:32] Erik: Raggedy hoodie versus fishing pole?
[1:02:33 – 1:02:34] Adam: Yeah, especially.
[1:02:34 – 1:02:35] Adam: Depends on the time of year.
[1:02:35 – 1:02:38] Erik: All right, we’re going to put Benny Ambrose up against skinny dipping.
[1:02:39 – 1:02:40] Adam: Ooh, yeah, skinny dipping.
[1:02:41 – 1:02:41] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[1:02:42 – 1:02:43] Adam: Yes, that’s nice.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:44] Erik: That’s a tough one.
[1:02:44 – 1:02:46] Adam: People probably won’t know who Benny Ambrose is.
[1:02:46 – 1:02:47] Adam: Benny Ambrose.
[1:02:47 – 1:02:49] Adam: He was rarely clothed.
[1:02:49 – 1:02:52] Adam: That’s a very poetic matchup there.
[1:02:52 – 1:02:53] Erik: How about a Chris Marr?
[1:02:55 – 1:02:55] Adam: A map?
[1:02:55 – 1:02:55] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:56 – 1:02:57] Adam: Do we have any other maps on there yet?
[1:02:57 – 1:02:58] Erik: We don’t.
[1:02:58 – 1:03:00] Erik: Nat Geo’s and Chris Marr’s, I think, are like… What?
[1:03:00 – 1:03:02] Adam: How have we not included a map?
[1:03:02 – 1:03:03] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:03 – 1:03:04] Adam: We’ve got to bump somebody down.
[1:03:05 – 1:03:05] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:03:05 – 1:03:09] Adam: I feel like… Yeah, for a Chris Marr, you’re going to need it.
[1:03:11 – 1:03:31] Erik: we’re putting that geo in as an eight seed man chris marr in as a nine seed all right chris marr versus bick lighter what about northern lights northern lights is on there as an experience we need to get some experiences on here yeah put that up against camp stove northern lights yeah i could see that one as a 12 yeah i could see that one getting through

[1:03:58 – 1:04:01] Erik: Blue Jeans and Richmore Foods.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:03] Adam: Those are necessarily not fun.
[1:04:03 – 1:04:05] Adam: They’re just not good.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:06] Adam: Yeah, okay.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:08] Adam: I don’t want to put any bad ones in.
[1:04:09 – 1:04:09] Erik: We don’t have enough room.
[1:04:11 – 1:04:13] Erik: Let’s put Cubans in as a 15.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:14] Adam: Cuban sandwich?
[1:04:15 – 1:04:17] Adam: Let’s do it as a 14.
[1:04:17 – 1:04:19] Erik: Oh, Cubans versus cast iron.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:20] Erik: You can’t have one without the other.
[1:04:21 – 1:04:22] Erik: We’ve only got a couple of spots left.
[1:04:22 – 1:04:24] Adam: Sure, you can make a Cuban just on the grate.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:26] Adam: Oh, wrapped in tinfoil?
[1:04:26 – 1:04:26] Adam: Yeah.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:28] Erik: We’ve got a 12, a 15, a 9, and a 13 left.
[1:04:32 – 1:04:33] Adam: All right, can we take a break?
[1:04:33 – 1:04:41] Adam: We’re over the one-hour mark, and I need to step outside and get some fresh air and just really make sure we’re not missing out on something big here.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:43] Adam: This has been all in one take, by the way.
[1:04:44 – 1:04:45] Adam: This has not been edited in any way.
[1:04:46 – 1:04:46] Adam: I don’t know if you can tell.
[1:04:46 – 1:04:48] Adam: You don’t have nail jeans on there?
[1:04:48 – 1:04:49] Adam: We don’t have nail jeans.
[1:04:49 – 1:04:51] Adam: We don’t have a water bottle.
[1:04:51 – 1:04:53] Adam: Eric, before we take the break, we’ve got to get the water bottle in.
[1:04:54 – 1:04:56] Erik: All right, we’ll put it in as a 12 against camp chairs.
[1:04:56 – 1:04:57] Adam: Yeah.
[1:04:58 – 1:04:59] Adam: You need a water bottle?
[1:04:59 – 1:05:01] Adam: Well, I mean… Are you going to drink right out of the filter?
[1:05:01 – 1:05:02] Adam: Yeah, you could.
[1:05:02 – 1:05:04] Adam: You could just drink right out of the lake if you want.
[1:05:04 – 1:05:05] Erik: You could.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:06] Erik: All right.
[1:05:06 – 1:05:14] Erik: Well, this is all a… Yeah, you’re listening to us talk through this, so… Well, I think we’re being pretty efficient about it.
[1:05:14 – 1:05:15] Adam: I think we are at this point.
[1:05:15 – 1:05:15] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:05:15 – 1:05:18] Adam: Yeah, I do have to go step outside.
[1:05:18 – 1:05:22] Adam: So we’ll be back after these messages from our sponsors.
[1:05:28 – 1:05:30] Adam: Let me tell you about my tingler.
[1:05:31 – 1:05:33] Adam: It’s a new spoon.
[1:05:33 – 1:05:35] Adam: It’s hot, and it’s from Finland.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:43] Adam: This thing, it’s thin on the bottom, and it’s wide on top, and it’s covered in glow-in-the-dark paint.
[1:05:44 – 1:05:54] Adam: Made to look like a green-eared sunfish, this tingler is tipped with two writhing waxworms, and…
[1:05:55 – 1:05:57] Adam: It has caught us, Blake, today.
[1:05:58 – 1:06:01] Adam: Pick up a Tingler next time you’re in town.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:10] Adam: This podcast is sponsored by Tinglers.
[1:06:11 – 1:06:11] Adam: Thank you for that.
[1:06:11 – 1:06:13] Adam: We are happy to have them as sponsors.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Erik: What about a good book, Eric?
[1:06:17 – 1:06:19] Erik: I mean, yes.
[1:06:20 – 1:06:23] Adam: I mean, we have Notebook, and we just have Notebook.
[1:06:23 – 1:06:26] Erik: But a notebook is blank, like a good book.
[1:06:26 – 1:06:27] Adam: A good book can be any good book.
[1:06:28 – 1:06:28] Adam: Which good book?
[1:06:28 – 1:06:30] Adam: I like to bring a good book out camping.
[1:06:30 – 1:06:32] Adam: It doesn’t have to be a high seed, but I think it should be in.
[1:06:33 – 1:06:36] Adam: Unless you have any others that you’re feeling very strong about.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:39] Adam: We only have so many spots left in the tourney.
[1:06:39 – 1:06:41] Adam: Some teams, unfortunately, don’t make the big dance.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:43] Adam: This could be a team on the bubble.
[1:06:43 – 1:06:47] Adam: I can’t believe a good book is on the bubble, but maybe we just keep discussing for a bit.
[1:06:47 – 1:06:48] Adam: We don’t have to put it in.
[1:06:48 – 1:06:49] Erik: Well, pencil it in.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:50] Erik: That’s what the pencil’s for.
[1:06:50 – 1:06:51] Erik: It’s going in as a nine.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:51] Erik: That’s true.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:56] Adam: The other one I thought of while I was grabbing some fresh air was, what about a camera?
[1:06:57 – 1:07:00] Adam: And these days I would be fine to just bring like an old cell phone.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:01] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:01 – 1:07:03] Adam: An old phone that has a nice camera on it.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:04] Adam: But any camera.
[1:07:04 – 1:07:05] Adam: That’s a low one, I think.
[1:07:05 – 1:07:07] Adam: You know, people like to take pictures.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:09] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:11] Adam: You know, share them on the gram.
[1:07:13 – 1:07:15] Adam: So I would argue that those two should be on.
[1:07:15 – 1:07:17] Erik: They are both on now.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:18] Erik: All right.
[1:07:19 – 1:07:24] Erik: There’s one 15 seed left to fill, and my vote would be for a splinter picker.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:27] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:27 – 1:07:28] Adam: Or bear bells.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:30] Erik: Oh, yes.
[1:07:30 – 1:07:31] Erik: Let’s do bear bells.
[1:07:33 – 1:07:35] Adam: Oh, the old bear bells.
[1:07:35 – 1:07:38] Adam: We don’t have bear barrel anywhere on this.
[1:07:38 – 1:07:39] Adam: No, we don’t have the bear barrel.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:41] Adam: We don’t even have a pack.
[1:07:42 – 1:07:44] Adam: Well, I mean, it’s kind of one of those things where it’s like.
[1:07:44 – 1:07:47] Adam: You’re implying that this all went into a pack.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:47] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:48] Adam: You didn’t carry it out there.
[1:07:48 – 1:07:50] Adam: This is the pack is implied tournament.
[1:07:51 – 1:07:53] Adam: This is the tournament of the pack.
[1:07:53 – 1:07:54] Erik: Yes.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:55] Erik: What goes into the pack?
[1:07:57 – 1:07:57] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:57 – 1:07:58] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:07:58 – 1:07:58] Adam: I’m fine.
[1:07:59 – 1:08:01] Adam: We could sit here and overthink it for the rest of the night.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:02] Adam: We sure could.
[1:08:03 – 1:08:03] Adam: And that’s.
[1:08:05 – 1:08:06] Adam: No, we’re not going to do it, though.
[1:08:06 – 1:08:07] Erik: Yeah, we’re not.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:07] Adam: All right.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:08] Adam: Do we have any spots left?
[1:08:09 – 1:08:09] Erik: No.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:10] Adam: That’s it?
[1:08:10 – 1:08:11] Adam: That’s it.

[1:08:15 – 1:08:16] Erik: Let’s quick run down the matchups.
[1:08:16 – 1:08:25] Erik: And then, again, if you’re looking for where to go and vote on this, we’re going to post it in all of the places that we can think of posting it.
[1:08:26 – 1:08:28] Erik: But specifically, it is in the show notes.
[1:08:28 – 1:08:30] Erik: You’ll find it on Reddit, Facebook, Instagram.
[1:08:31 – 1:08:52] Erik: all over and if it doesn’t work well shoot this was still a fun conversation but i’ve tested the website and i think it’ll work um we’ll have some dates where it ends in terms of what it worked for me you can like as far as you can vote on it up to and then it will get displayed after a certain date so probably each round will be up for about a week
[1:08:54 – 1:08:55] Erik: And we’ll try to hype it as much as possible.
[1:08:56 – 1:08:57] Erik: So let’s start in the West.

[1:10:15 – 1:10:19] Erik: So 3.14 is La Bunga versus a Welding Mitt.
[1:10:22 – 1:10:25] Adam: So we’re going to have Benny Ambrose and La Bunga meet in the second round.
[1:10:25 – 1:10:26] Adam: Oh, wow, that’s tough.
[1:10:27 – 1:10:27] Erik: I know.

[1:11:02 – 1:11:02] Adam: It is exciting.
[1:11:02 – 1:11:04] Erik: It’s one of those hot, everybody’s picking Fresh Dill.
[1:11:04 – 1:11:07] Adam: It’s like Gonzaga of olden days.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:10] Adam: I can see Fresh Dill moving up to be at one seed someday.
[1:11:10 – 1:11:17] Erik: Yeah, eventually worked its way up from being that classic 12 that always wins.
[1:11:18 – 1:11:24] Erik: 6’11”, Dorothy Moulter versus Notebook slash some kind of a journaling device.
[1:11:24 – 1:11:28] Adam: That’s an interesting matchup there, too.
[1:11:28 – 1:11:31] Erik: 3’14”, Tent versus Crazy Creek Canoe Chair.
[1:11:32 – 1:11:34] Adam: That’s an easy, that three is going to destroy.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:37] Adam: You can use a crazy creek canoe chair as like a small tent for just your head.
[1:11:37 – 1:11:38] Erik: Yep.

[1:11:43 – 1:11:45] Erik: The Cook Custom Sewing Rainfly is a 10.
[1:11:46 – 1:11:47] Erik: Versus a birch bark.
[1:11:47 – 1:11:48] Erik: Birch bark.
[1:11:48 – 1:11:49] Erik: Just birch bark.
[1:11:49 – 1:11:54] Adam: I don’t know if that one’s going to get the amount of respect it needs just because people are like, I can find Birchbark wherever I need it.
[1:11:54 – 1:11:55] Erik: Yeah.
[1:11:55 – 1:11:55] Adam: Sure.
[1:11:55 – 1:11:56] Adam: Sure you could.
[1:11:56 – 1:11:59] Adam: 215, Pizza Biter versus Bear Bells.
[1:12:00 – 1:12:03] Erik: The 116, the last bracket.
[1:12:03 – 1:12:09] Erik: We’ve got a bag of wine as the one seed versus Richmore Turkey Tetrazzini.

[1:12:11 – 1:12:12] Adam: Ta-ta-ta!
[1:12:13 – 1:12:16] Erik: The 89, Justine Kerfoot versus A Good Book.
[1:12:19 – 1:12:20] Adam: Oh, my God.
[1:12:20 – 1:12:22] Adam: That sounds so lame now when you put it that way.
[1:12:23 – 1:12:25] Erik: She wrote a good book.
[1:12:25 – 1:12:25] Erik: You can just bring her.
[1:12:26 – 1:12:27] Erik: She can recite her own book.
[1:12:27 – 1:12:29] Erik: She’s going to be that dark horse.
[1:12:29 – 1:12:30] Adam: Can we just replace a good book now?
[1:12:30 – 1:12:32] Adam: We got to maybe take that one out of there.
[1:12:33 – 1:12:33] Adam: It’s too late.
[1:12:33 – 1:12:34] Adam: It’s all happening.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:34] Adam: Too late.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:37] Erik: Filet knife versus Meps of any number, 512.
[1:12:37 – 1:12:40] Erik: Filet has the five.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:47] Erik: An X-Wrap is a four seed going up against a 13 seed, which is just a camera.
[1:12:47 – 1:12:49] Adam: So, wait, can the Meps and the Rapala meet?
[1:12:49 – 1:12:50] Adam: They could, yeah.
[1:12:50 – 1:12:52] Adam: But a fillet knife and a camera could meet.
[1:12:52 – 1:12:53] Erik: Yes.
[1:12:53 – 1:12:54] Erik: Yes.
[1:12:54 – 1:12:55] Erik: A fillet knife and a camera could meet.
[1:12:56 – 1:13:02] Adam: What are you going to fillet or take a picture of, though, if you don’t have that X-Wrap?
[1:13:03 – 1:13:03] Adam: Think about it.
[1:13:04 – 1:13:06] Adam: I shouldn’t be campaigning for any of these.
[1:13:06 – 1:13:06] Adam: No.
[1:13:06 – 1:13:07] Erik: I’d take it all back.
[1:13:08 – 1:13:16] Erik: The 611 is a Chaco, Teva, Wet Shoe of any selection versus Tabasco Packets.
[1:13:17 – 1:13:33] Erik: uh 314 is a hammock versus tump line 710 is a tailwinds versus a radio hand crank style and the 215 this is the best one it’s a fishing pole versus a raggedy hoodie
[1:13:36 – 1:13:39] Adam: I am severely tempted to vote for Raggedy Old Hoodie.
[1:13:39 – 1:13:40] Adam: Raggedy Hoodie.
[1:13:40 – 1:13:41] Adam: Yeah.
[1:13:41 – 1:13:43] Adam: Severely underrated.
[1:13:43 – 1:13:48] Adam: Very disrespected, the Raggedy Old Hoodies coming out with a chip on their shoulder.
[1:13:48 – 1:13:49] Adam: Yeah.
[1:13:49 – 1:13:50] Erik: There’s been a few 15.
[1:13:50 – 1:13:51] Erik: There’s even been a 16.
[1:13:52 – 1:13:52] Erik: One.
[1:13:52 – 1:13:56] Adam: Like Shaquille O’Neal in the classic Oscar winning film, Blue Chips.
[1:13:57 – 1:13:58] Adam: Oh, wow.
[1:13:58 – 1:14:01] Adam: I never thought that was going to get on here, but it just did.
[1:14:01 – 1:14:04] Erik: Yeah, I had like a mini stroke there when you said blue chips.
[1:14:04 – 1:14:05] Erik: I was like, why?
[1:14:06 – 1:14:07] Erik: I totally forgot about that movie.
[1:14:07 – 1:14:10] Adam: You want me to pass it?
[1:14:10 – 1:14:10] Adam: Nah.
[1:14:10 – 1:14:10] Adam: Nah.
[1:14:10 – 1:14:11] Adam: Do you want me to shoot it?
[1:14:13 – 1:14:34] Erik: nah yeah i don’t know i think that i mean we could do this forever but i think it’s a good start and it gives us boundary waters enthusiasts and obsessionists something to think about this has been a fun episode to record something to do we’re gonna get this up
[1:14:35 – 1:14:38] Erik: I haven’t been able to figure out how to get the images.
[1:14:38 – 1:14:46] Erik: This website that I’ve been using, their image link doesn’t work because I thought it would be really fun to have a bunch of image links.
[1:14:47 – 1:14:49] Adam: You don’t have a screen grabber app on there?
[1:14:49 – 1:14:56] Erik: Yeah, I got a screen grabber app, but I haven’t figured out a way to get it so that it goes into the website so that it shows up.
[1:14:56 – 1:14:57] Erik: It always says that the link is invalid.
[1:14:59 – 1:14:59] Adam: Oh, I see.
[1:15:00 – 1:15:00] Adam: I see.
[1:15:01 – 1:15:01] Erik: Anyway.
[1:15:02 – 1:15:03] Adam: Well, it’s a free one.
[1:15:03 – 1:15:03] Adam: It’s free.
[1:15:03 – 1:15:04] Adam: Who cares?
[1:15:05 – 1:15:06] Erik: Follow the link.
[1:15:06 – 1:15:10] Erik: Unfortunately, they’re not going to all be on the same page.
[1:15:10 – 1:15:16] Erik: So you’ll have to go through and do the west side and then go in and do the east side.
[1:15:16 – 1:15:19] Erik: And then at the end of March, when we end up with…
[1:15:20 – 1:15:30] Erik: The champ from the West and the East will have to start another one just to do the final vote between, which will inevitably be like Kevlar Canoe versus Sigurd Olsen.
[1:15:31 – 1:15:32] Erik: But you never know.
[1:15:33 – 1:15:34] Erik: You never know.
[1:15:34 – 1:15:36] Erik: That’s why they call it March Madness.
[1:15:36 – 1:15:37] Adam: Raggedy old hoodie.
[1:15:37 – 1:15:38] Adam: Come on.
[1:15:39 – 1:15:39] Adam: Raggedy old hoodie.
[1:15:40 – 1:15:41] Adam: That’s my dark horse.
[1:15:42 – 1:15:43] Adam: They’re tough.
[1:15:43 – 1:15:43] Adam: Yeah?
[1:15:44 – 1:15:46] Adam: They play a real mean two-way game.
[1:15:47 – 1:15:47] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[1:15:50 – 1:15:51] Adam: No, no.
[1:15:52 – 1:15:54] Adam: I think a two-way game applies to any sport.
[1:15:55 – 1:15:55] Adam: Sure.
[1:15:57 – 1:15:57] Adam: All right.
[1:15:57 – 1:15:58] Adam: Well, that was fun.
[1:15:59 – 1:16:04] Erik: We’ll be back next week with the conclusion of the Sigurd Olsen series.
[1:16:05 – 1:16:06] Erik: Looking forward to that.
[1:16:06 – 1:16:07] Erik: Getting serious again.
[1:16:07 – 1:16:08] Erik: But not too serious.
[1:16:08 – 1:16:10] Adam: Yeah, you know, you got to have a little fun.
[1:16:12 – 1:16:14] Adam: Not that the Sigurd Olsen series isn’t fun, but…
[1:16:15 – 1:16:19] Adam: It was fun to get together here in Studio B and just laugh a bunch and be silly.
[1:16:19 – 1:16:19] Erik: Yeah.
[1:16:20 – 1:16:21] Adam: You got to be silly once in a while.
[1:16:21 – 1:16:22] Erik: You got to be silly.
[1:16:22 – 1:16:23] Erik: I’m going to get some art supplies.
[1:16:23 – 1:16:25] Adam: Don’t take yourselves too seriously.
[1:16:25 – 1:16:31] Erik: This week and put together one of the more ridiculous looking brackets of all time.
[1:16:31 – 1:16:32] Adam: Yeah.
[1:16:32 – 1:16:36] Adam: I doubt there’s ever been a Boundary Waters bracket like this.
[1:16:37 – 1:16:52] Erik: Not one that has ever pitted camp saws versus chubbies or labunga versus welding mitts or the showdown to beat all showdowns, fishing poles versus raggedy old hoodies.
[1:16:52 – 1:16:53] Erik: Can’t wait.
[1:16:53 – 1:16:55] Erik: I cannot wait to see how this one turns out.
[1:16:55 – 1:16:58] Adam: I’m very excited to see what the boat totals end up being.
[1:16:58 – 1:17:25] Erik: yeah and like you know oh round by round this is gonna be a real thrilling ride so it’s up to you it’s up to you now we’ve done the the the setting up of the tournament and now it is up to you to decide how wrong we truly are truly truly uh you can get candle on there candle or a candlestick candle got blown out in the first round of like the cusa tournament
[1:17:27 – 1:17:28] Adam: Yeah, that’s zone defense.
[1:17:29 – 1:17:29] Adam: It’s weak.
[1:17:29 – 1:17:31] Erik: Yeah, they get smoked by the Billikens.
[1:17:32 – 1:17:34] Erik: St. Louis.
[1:17:35 – 1:17:37] Erik: Never underestimate the Billikens.
[1:17:37 – 1:17:40] Adam: Is there any other ones out there that you thought should have been in that didn’t make it?
[1:17:41 – 1:17:44] Adam: What were some of the bubble teams that didn’t make it?
[1:17:44 – 1:17:46] Erik: Post-trip cold beer.
[1:17:46 – 1:17:48] Adam: Yeah, well, it’s just not part of the trip, though.
[1:17:48 – 1:17:50] Erik: Yeah, getting wood-numbed.
[1:17:50 – 1:17:51] Erik: Yeah, that is nice.
[1:17:51 – 1:17:56] Erik: And then we kind of didn’t really get into animal experiences like moose, loon call.
[1:17:56 – 1:17:58] Adam: I did say moose licking you would be nice.
[1:17:58 – 1:17:59] Adam: Or wolf howl.
[1:18:00 – 1:18:01] Adam: Oh, yeah, wolf howl.
[1:18:02 – 1:18:03] Adam: See?
[1:18:04 – 1:18:06] Adam: Maybe they’ll make it next year.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:06] Adam: Maybe next year.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:13] Adam: We’ll see how the people respond because the committee is always listening to what the people have to say.
[1:18:14 – 1:18:20] Adam: We’ll see how this year’s tournament goes and we will adjust our selection process accordingly for next year’s tournament.
[1:18:22 – 1:18:36] Adam: For Tumble Home, episode 087, coming to you live from Studio V with The View, my name is Adam, and I have been joined by my good friend Eric with the very handsome face because he uses that SPF 45.
[1:18:38 – 1:18:40] Erik: And my tongue is on fire because of Miss Jenny.
[1:18:40 – 1:18:41] Erik: Thank you, Miss Jenny.
[1:18:42 – 1:18:42] Adam: Thank you, Zach.
[1:18:43 – 1:18:44] Adam: For the idiot farms.
[1:18:44 – 1:18:45] Adam: Thank you, Matt.
[1:18:46 – 1:18:48] Adam: And for the calendar and the nice letter.
[1:18:48 – 1:18:57] Adam: And thanks to all our friends on Patreon for putting up with this nonsense and for, I assume at this point, participating wildly in this grand tournament.
[1:18:57 – 1:18:58] Erik: It’s going to be grand.
[1:18:59 – 1:19:00] Adam: All right.
[1:19:00 – 1:19:04] Adam: As we always say, life is precious and every day is a miracle.
[1:19:05 – 1:19:10] Adam: And thanks to all our sponsors on the fishing trip, and I hope we got some of that madness in there.
[1:19:11 – 1:19:14] Adam: But it’s been a good evening here.
[1:19:14 – 1:19:14] Adam: Good night.
[1:19:15 – 1:19:15] SPEAKER_00: Yes.
[1:19:15 – 1:19:16] SPEAKER_00: Good night.
[1:19:43 – 1:19:44] SPEAKER_00: What to do?
[1:20:44 – 1:20:45] UNKNOWN: What to do?
