Episode Transcript
[0:00:12 – 0:00:17] Hopalicious: From the high desert of southern Wisconsin, it’s Tumble Home Call-In with Hopalicious.
[0:00:23 – 0:00:29] SPEAKER_03: Hey, Eric.
[0:00:29 – 0:00:29] Hopalicious: Hey, Adam.
[0:00:30 – 0:00:38] Hopalicious: I just got back from my trip to the east side of Ensign and down into Ashigan, which was very trustworthy.
[0:00:38 – 0:00:41] Hopalicious: I wanted to share a little story of something that happened down the trip.
[0:00:42 – 0:00:46] Hopalicious: Saturday afternoon, my buddy and I were taking an afternoon nap.
[0:00:47 – 0:00:53] Hopalicious: I woke up from that nap to head out to the point to grab a little bit of water from the platypus and take in the view.
[0:00:54 – 0:01:02] Hopalicious: I then noticed a canoe floating upside down a ways offshore out in the bay, and there was a guy trying to flip it back upright.
[0:01:03 – 0:01:08] Hopalicious: I watched his attempt fail and figured the canoe was now way too full of water to ever get going without some help.
[0:01:09 – 0:01:14] Hopalicious: I also figured that water was pretty cold, and I had no idea how long he’d been out there.
[0:01:15 – 0:01:17] Hopalicious: I yelled to him that we’re coming to help and woke up my buddy.
[0:01:18 – 0:01:20] Hopalicious: We paddled out and tied a rope to his canoe.
[0:01:20 – 0:01:30] Hopalicious: This was our first water rescue, so we made the mistake of tying him to the front of our canoe, so we had to paddle back towards shore backwards, which was not easy.
[0:01:31 – 0:01:35] Hopalicious: At this point, by my estimate, he’d been in the water for close to an hour or
[0:01:36 – 0:01:39] Hopalicious: so I kept asking him questions to make sure he still had his faculties.
[0:01:40 – 0:01:42] Hopalicious: He kept answering, then he felt okay.
[0:01:43 – 0:01:49] Hopalicious: After getting him back to shore, he was able to dump out the water, gather up all his remaining belongings, and jump back in.
[0:01:50 – 0:01:55] Hopalicious: While he prepared to depart, my buddy and I paddled out into the bay to gather his remaining gear.
[0:01:56 – 0:02:02] Hopalicious: Most of it went to the bottom, but he had a nail gene, a pike lipper, and a container of leeches still floating out there.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:04] Hopalicious: As he finished diving,
[0:02:06 – 0:02:14] Hopalicious: gathering his stuff back in his canoe and we headed back, he attempted to launch and almost immediately dumped the canoe again.
[0:02:17 – 0:02:26] Hopalicious: He paddled it back to shore and loaded all his stuff up a second time and launched again, which almost immediately ended in another dumping.
[0:02:26 – 0:02:34] Hopalicious: At this point, my buddy jumped out of the back of the canoe to help steady his Winona Solo Prism, which
[0:02:34 – 0:02:36] Hopalicious: Seemed pretty tippy.
[0:02:36 – 0:02:41] Hopalicious: He also had a chair in the middle of it, which kind of made him extra high, which couldn’t have been helping.
[0:02:42 – 0:02:44] Hopalicious: He again loaded up all his remaining gear and off he went.
[0:02:45 – 0:02:51] Hopalicious: About 20 feet from us, he stopped paddling, kind of turned around to wave goodbye and thank us one more time.
[0:02:52 – 0:02:55] Hopalicious: In doing so, he dumped the canoe again.
[0:02:56 – 0:02:59] Hopalicious: And this time he finally lost his St. Croix rod and reel setup.
[0:03:05 – 0:03:09] Hopalicious: I think I exceeded the maximum message there, so I guess part two.
[0:03:12 – 0:03:14] Hopalicious: He had lost his final dump.
[0:03:14 – 0:03:16] Hopalicious: He’d lost his rod and reel setup.
[0:03:17 – 0:03:18] Hopalicious: Got him back to shore.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:24] Hopalicious: At this point, I realized he was probably too cold to properly operate that narrow, solo canoe.
[0:03:25 – 0:03:27] Hopalicious: So we decided to find him back up to camp to warm up.
[0:03:28 – 0:03:32] Hopalicious: I built him a fire, and after a few minutes, you’d start to see him shake and begin to feel cold.
[0:03:32 – 0:03:34] Hopalicious: I think his adrenaline started wearing off, and he
[0:03:35 – 0:03:36] Hopalicious: The cold started to really sink in.
[0:03:38 – 0:03:44] Hopalicious: I sat in front of the fire, brewed him up a cup of coffee, which he drank down pretty quickly, and, man, he really enjoyed that coffee.
[0:03:45 – 0:03:47] Hopalicious: We’ve been chatting at camp for about 45 minutes.
[0:03:47 – 0:03:49] Hopalicious: He was a pretty nice guy from Chicago.
[0:03:50 – 0:03:53] Hopalicious: So it was his eighth trip and the first time he ever dumped a canoe.
[0:03:54 – 0:03:56] Hopalicious: Then we all walked back to his boat and helped him paddle away.
[0:03:57 – 0:04:03] Hopalicious: As he paddled towards camp, we saw him adjust his butt one more time, and we thought he was going to dump again, but he did not.
[0:04:04 – 0:04:07] Hopalicious: It goes to show you this can happen to anyone and it can happen fast.
[0:04:07 – 0:04:09] Hopalicious: Thankfully, he was wearing his PFD.
[0:04:10 – 0:04:17] Hopalicious: My buddy and I were also pretty thankful that we chose that campsite because had we not, there would have been no one around to see him.
[0:04:17 – 0:04:20] Hopalicious: If you ever hear this, I do not intend this story to make fun of him.
[0:04:21 – 0:04:24] Hopalicious: I never tried to board and operate a solo canoe soaking wet and cold.
[0:04:25 – 0:04:26] Hopalicious: I can’t imagine that’d be easy.
[0:04:27 – 0:04:31] Hopalicious: He was a great guy and we exchanged contact information and last night I received a text from him.
[0:04:31 – 0:04:35] Hopalicious: that he completed his trip and successfully exited at Williams and Hall Outfitters.
[0:04:36 – 0:04:37] Hopalicious: I wish you well, fine sir.
[0:04:37 – 0:04:39] Hopalicious: Now I’m at the show.
[0:05:06 – 0:05:12] Adam: Oh, welcome and welcome again to episode 0198.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:14] Adam: We found it.
[0:05:15 – 0:05:17] Adam: It’s back and then we’re just posting it.
[0:05:17 – 0:05:18] Adam: This is definitely the original.
[0:05:18 – 0:05:20] Adam: It is.
[0:05:20 – 0:05:29] Adam: Somehow a strange shadow creature came back in a time hole and explained to me what had happened and that we had claimed we had lost the show.
[0:05:30 – 0:05:32] Adam: But in fact, what is lost has now been found.
[0:05:33 – 0:05:38] Adam: My name is Adam, joined here in the Tumble Shed in real time by my good friend Eric.
[0:05:38 – 0:05:39] Adam: Hello, Eric.
[0:05:39 – 0:05:40] Erik: Hello.
[0:05:40 – 0:05:42] Erik: What exactly do you mean by real time?
[0:05:44 – 0:05:45] Adam: The present.
[0:05:45 – 0:05:46] Adam: Presently.
[0:05:46 – 0:05:46] Adam: Yes.
[0:05:47 – 0:05:51] Adam: And today is June 21st, 2022.
[0:05:51 – 0:05:52] Adam: Bluegills are spawning.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:52] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:53] Erik: Oh, boy.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:58] Adam: And, uh, no, I’m just kidding.
[0:05:58 – 0:06:00] Adam: It is the, we’re redoing the whole episode.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:03] Adam: Never been done before in tumble home history.
[0:06:03 – 0:06:12] Adam: Uh, the episode has been lost, possibly re possibly re recorded the, uh, fly away home tumble home cinema classic over it or, uh,
[0:06:13 – 0:06:22] Adam: Or just the podcasting gods understood how bad my performance was in the first try, so they just did me the grace of deleting the file.
[0:06:22 – 0:06:27] Adam: Or possibly Eric just deleted it as a mercy deletion.
[0:06:28 – 0:06:29] Adam: And who knows?
[0:06:29 – 0:06:30] Adam: We’ll never find out.
[0:06:30 – 0:06:31] Adam: It is June 28th, 2022.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:45] Adam: 2022 it is the new moon tonight but it is bright daylight out here the big door is open on the tumble shed tonight’s true ronald shara outdoor calendar fact of the day
[0:06:46 – 0:06:48] Adam: Seen any lightning bugs?
[0:06:48 – 0:06:48] Adam: Question mark?
[0:06:49 – 0:06:49] Adam: Seen?
[0:06:49 – 0:06:54] Adam: Sunset is at 9.03 p.m. Yeah.
[0:06:54 – 0:06:59] Adam: I thought I maybe had seen one last night, actually, but I couldn’t be sure.
[0:06:59 – 0:07:01] Adam: But they got to be close.
[0:07:01 – 0:07:03] Adam: Everything’s like three weeks behind, though.
[0:07:04 – 0:07:05] Adam: There was some in our yard last week.
[0:07:05 – 0:07:10] Adam: Yeah, well, it might be 4th of July before we’ve seen one here, but I don’t know.
[0:07:10 – 0:07:13] Adam: I wouldn’t be surprised to see one tonight on the new moon.
[0:07:13 – 0:07:14] Adam: It’s going to be dark out there.
[0:07:15 – 0:07:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:19] Erik: If you can stay up late enough, it might eventually… Who knows, yeah.
[0:07:20 – 0:07:28] Erik: I mean, I swear they were lightning bugs slash fireflies, but maybe it was just the distant flickering lights of the Octantus.
[0:07:28 – 0:07:28] Adam: The Octantus.
[0:07:30 – 0:07:31] Adam: Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
[0:07:31 – 0:07:33] Adam: Cruise ship talk.
[0:07:33 – 0:07:34] Adam: It’s back.
[0:07:34 – 0:07:38] Erik: Did spookily roll by Grand Marais the other night.
[0:07:38 – 0:07:39] Erik: It’s like, what is that?
[0:07:39 – 0:07:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:07:40 – 0:07:42] Erik: Long strip of alien-esque.
[0:07:42 – 0:07:44] Erik: I was like, is there a moon somewhere?
[0:07:44 – 0:07:47] Erik: It looks like it’s reflecting like moonlight down to the lake.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:48] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:07:48 – 0:07:51] Erik: Pulled up the old boat tracker, old anchor app.
[0:07:51 – 0:07:52] Adam: Boat tracker.
[0:07:52 – 0:07:53] Adam: What boat tracker do you like?
[0:07:53 – 0:07:54] Erik: Marine traffic.
[0:07:55 – 0:07:56] Adam: Oh, that’s the best one.
[0:07:56 – 0:07:57] Adam: That’s all I use.
[0:07:57 – 0:07:58] Adam: It’s the only one.
[0:07:59 – 0:08:05] Adam: It’d be funny if you could see all the canoes on the Boundary Waters on there with all the funny names people give their canoes.
[0:08:05 – 0:08:06] Adam: That would be awesome.
[0:08:06 – 0:08:07] Adam: Yeah.
[0:08:07 – 0:08:10] Erik: Red Horses Revenge is moving on out of Basswood today.
[0:08:10 – 0:08:11] Erik: Yeah.
[0:08:11 – 0:08:12] Erik: It’s incredible.
[0:08:12 – 0:08:18] Erik: We talked about doing that a couple of times on previous trips where we could allow people to track us with the spot tracker.
[0:08:18 – 0:08:19] Adam: What’s the map?
[0:08:19 – 0:08:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:08:20 – 0:08:23] Adam: If we had our spot tracker up, then people could just track us.
[0:08:23 – 0:08:24] Adam: We’ve also talked about the…
[0:08:25 – 0:08:49] Adam: the map from harry potter where you can see everybody’s location at all times that would be fun too right i don’t know i feel like that might be a little invasive you don’t have to sign up but you can opt in yeah you could opt in i think that’d be fair opt in as long as it is your choice then it would be okay okay we don’t want to force anybody to have a tracker on their boat that wouldn’t be uh very that wouldn’t be very uh freedom loving of us
[0:08:50 – 0:08:52] Erik: No, I couldn’t imagine that it would be.
[0:08:52 – 0:08:54] Adam: That would be completely fucking insane.
[0:08:55 – 0:08:56] Adam: Where’s the timestamp?
[0:08:56 – 0:08:56] Adam: Jesus.
[0:08:56 – 0:08:57] Erik: There it is.
[0:08:58 – 0:09:00] Erik: There it is in pod we trust.
[0:09:01 – 0:09:02] Erik: You know what they say?
[0:09:03 – 0:09:06] Erik: Why would I listen to a podcast when I could listen to my rod cast?
[0:09:06 – 0:09:07] Adam: That’s right.
[0:09:08 – 0:09:09] Adam: There it is.
[0:09:09 – 0:09:09] Erik: There it is.
[0:09:09 – 0:09:11] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:09:11 – 0:09:12] Erik: 8.30 to be safe.
[0:09:12 – 0:09:14] Adam: We’re going to 8.50.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:14] Adam: Okay.
[0:09:14 – 0:09:15] Adam: 8.30 to 8.50.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:16] Erik: There it is.
[0:09:16 – 0:09:19] Erik: Ladies and gentlemen, the loons are out.
[0:09:20 – 0:09:21] Erik: And it’s warm.
[0:09:22 – 0:09:30] Erik: And we’re cracking some beers that were definitely… We definitely had a couple of these left over from last week.
[0:09:30 – 0:09:31] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[0:09:31 – 0:09:36] Adam: We definitely didn’t have to drag these out of the recycling can to figure out exactly what we were having.
[0:09:38 – 0:09:42] Adam: We do have tonight’s beer sponsor of the week.
[0:09:43 – 0:09:47] Adam: Art supplies for the Tumble Homies greeting from the Miami of Minnesota.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:47] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:49] Adam: Visit Winona forces us to say that.
[0:09:50 – 0:09:52] Adam: Josh, hashtag JDAT.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:53] Adam: JDAT.
[0:09:53 – 0:09:55] Adam: Thanks, Josh, for these delicious treats.
[0:09:56 – 0:09:57] Adam: What do you got over there, Eric?
[0:09:58 – 0:09:59] Erik: Let’s see.
[0:10:00 – 0:10:01] Erik: Rattle around.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:02] Adam: I almost dropped mine.
[0:10:02 – 0:10:03] Adam: That definitely was a full beer.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:05] Adam: You can hear it on the mics.
[0:10:05 – 0:10:08] Erik: This is a Too Far Juice.
[0:10:09 – 0:10:16] Erik: Looks like a bit of a collab with Fair State Co-op and Drecker.
[0:10:16 – 0:10:17] Erik: It’s a sour.
[0:10:17 – 0:10:18] Erik: Wow, it’s a Drecker Fair State.
[0:10:18 – 0:10:21] Erik: Yeah, they’ve pushed juice too far this time.
[0:10:21 – 0:10:25] Erik: Extra thick, fruited sour with blackberry plum lactose.
[0:10:25 – 0:10:26] Erik: Love that lactose.
[0:10:27 – 0:10:28] Erik: Unless you lack the toes.

[0:11:03 – 0:11:07] Adam: Looks like a perfect beer to drink while wearing short shorts in a shed.
[0:11:08 – 0:11:08] Erik: Yes.
[0:11:09 – 0:11:14] Adam: Or possibly hanging out in the galley on the Viking Ocontentus.

[0:12:05 – 0:12:06] Adam: What am I going to give it?
[0:12:06 – 0:12:09] Adam: I’m going to give it two out of two shorts.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:10] Adam: Wow.
[0:12:10 – 0:12:11] Adam: Two out of two.
[0:12:11 – 0:12:11] Erik: Solid.
[0:12:12 – 0:12:15] Erik: I mean… Can’t get any better than that when it comes to shorts.
[0:12:15 – 0:12:23] Erik: One less and you’re flunking, but yeah, we’ll go ahead and say seven out of eight delicious.
[0:12:23 – 0:12:24] Erik: All right.
[0:12:24 – 0:12:24] Erik: Delicious.
[0:12:25 – 0:12:26] Erik: Delicious.
[0:12:26 – 0:12:29] Erik: Yeah, it’s a side tangent.
[0:12:29 – 0:12:29] Erik: What?
[0:12:29 – 0:12:30] Erik: No, never.
[0:12:30 – 0:12:31] Erik: We’ve never…
[0:12:31 – 0:12:35] Adam: We’re going to start the show with seven to eight side tangents, probably.
[0:12:35 – 0:12:45] Erik: Yeah, the solar honey reminds me of this time I was at a seemingly very nice German Airbnb.
[0:12:45 – 0:12:47] Erik: And I say seemingly because I was on a road trip with family.
[0:12:48 – 0:12:49] Erik: It was shady as hell.
[0:12:49 – 0:12:50] Erik: No, it was very nice.
[0:12:50 – 0:12:54] Erik: But we weren’t given the opportunity to get the full breakfast experience.
[0:12:54 – 0:12:57] Erik: We sat down at this table and…
[0:12:57 – 0:12:59] Adam: I think I know this story.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:00] Adam: This is a good honey story.
[0:13:00 – 0:13:06] Erik: Very kindly German woman came over and she kind of started taking our order.
[0:13:06 – 0:13:10] Erik: And then all of a sudden it was just like an entire table full of food.
[0:13:11 – 0:13:14] Erik: And then she was like, and then we have the honey.
[0:13:14 – 0:13:19] Erik: This one is from the forest and this one is from the field.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:22] Erik: This is the most amazing breakfast I’ve ever had.
[0:13:23 – 0:13:27] Erik: And then we were just getting phone calls and texts from our family like, we have to go.
[0:13:28 – 0:13:31] Erik: We need to be in Dachau in 10 minutes.
[0:13:31 – 0:13:32] Erik: And it’s like, what?
[0:13:32 – 0:13:32] Erik: I’ll pass.
[0:13:32 – 0:13:33] Erik: Yeah, can I pass?
[0:13:33 – 0:13:36] Erik: But we were all in the same vehicle, and I was the driver.
[0:13:36 – 0:13:43] Erik: So we had to very obviously disappoint this very sweet old woman.
[0:13:44 – 0:13:46] Erik: Be like, well, we just have to go.
[0:13:46 – 0:13:50] Erik: And she was like, I can send you with sandwiches, bottles of water, anything, please.
[0:13:51 – 0:13:54] Erik: Like, I was expecting an entire breakfast for you.
[0:13:55 – 0:13:56] Erik: You’re going to go hungry.
[0:13:56 – 0:13:59] Erik: And we just, like, ever since then, I’m like, I have to go back.
[0:13:59 – 0:14:01] Adam: Yeah, you made the wrong choice there.
[0:14:02 – 0:14:03] Erik: Multi-honey experience.
[0:14:03 – 0:14:05] Adam: Life is all about the choices you make.
[0:14:05 – 0:14:07] Adam: So what did you go with, though?
[0:14:07 – 0:14:08] Adam: The forest or the field?
[0:14:08 – 0:14:09] Adam: We provided with both.
[0:14:10 – 0:14:12] Adam: Oh, but did you pick one?
[0:14:13 – 0:14:14] Erik: We sampled them both.
[0:14:14 – 0:14:14] Adam: You did them both.
[0:14:15 – 0:14:17] Erik: We had enough time to have some toast and fruit.
[0:14:18 – 0:14:20] Erik: She was starting to take our egg order.
[0:14:21 – 0:14:25] Erik: I was like, well, I guess I have to go visit a concentration camp.
[0:14:25 – 0:14:28] Erik: Who created this itinerary?
[0:14:29 – 0:14:31] Erik: It was a little too strict for my liking.
[0:14:31 – 0:14:32] Erik: I did enjoy the entire time.
[0:14:32 – 0:14:37] Erik: If any of my family members who were on that trip were listening, it was great.
[0:14:39 – 0:14:42] Adam: Dang it, I wanted that breakfast.
[0:14:42 – 0:14:43] Adam: What’s breakfast in German?
[0:14:44 – 0:14:46] Adam: What is breakfast in German?
[0:14:48 – 0:14:48] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:14:48 – 0:14:49] Adam: Yeah, I should know this.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:50] Adam: It’s embarrassing.
[0:14:50 – 0:14:52] Erik: I took German for four years in high school.
[0:14:52 – 0:14:52] Adam: Stall, Eric.
[0:14:53 – 0:14:54] Adam: I’m going to look this up.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:57] Adam: I’m not going to be able to go on if we don’t figure this one out.
[0:14:58 – 0:14:59] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:00] Adam: Breakfast in Deutsch?
[0:15:01 – 0:15:02] Adam: Auf Deutsch.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:04] Adam: Final morning is Morgan.
[0:15:04 – 0:15:05] Erik: That’s a tough one.
[0:15:07 – 0:15:09] Adam: Yeah, the internet’s not doing so hot in here.
[0:15:09 – 0:15:10] Erik: Well, that’s all… We’ll get to it.
[0:15:10 – 0:15:13] Erik: That’s all the vamping I can do for you.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:13] Erik: Sorry.
[0:15:14 – 0:15:21] Erik: Thank you for the what is now becoming a hot, hot trend on the wildcard line.
[0:15:21 – 0:15:23] Erik: Thank you, Hopalicious, for your tales.
[0:15:23 – 0:15:25] Erik: We have a few more voicemails tonight.
[0:15:26 – 0:15:31] Erik: And it is, I would say, relatively appropriate that we did happen to lose…
[0:15:32 – 0:15:37] Erik: episode 0198, when we’re talking about lost and found items.
[0:15:37 – 0:15:38] Erik: There you go.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:39] Erik: That’s a good way to spin it, right?
[0:15:39 – 0:15:40] Erik: Yeah.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:40] Erik: Nailed it.
[0:15:40 – 0:15:42] Erik: We almost, like, we did it on purpose.
[0:15:42 – 0:15:43] Adam: Frühstück.
[0:15:43 – 0:15:44] Adam: Frühstück?
[0:15:44 – 0:15:45] Adam: Frühstücke.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:47] Adam: Das Frühstücke.
[0:15:47 – 0:15:48] Adam: I honestly don’t even, like…
[0:15:48 – 0:15:50] Adam: I don’t remember ever using that word.
[0:15:50 – 0:15:50] Erik: No.
[0:15:50 – 0:15:51] Adam: Is that really what…
[0:15:51 – 0:15:53] Adam: Anybody in Germany listening to this?
[0:15:53 – 0:15:55] Adam: What are you guys really calling breakfast?
[0:15:55 – 0:15:55] Adam: Come on.
[0:15:56 – 0:15:57] Erik: Just call it Morgan Essen.
[0:15:59 – 0:16:00] Adam: Morning food.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:01] Adam: Morning eat.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:04] Adam: Morning eat.
[0:16:04 – 0:16:08] Erik: Well, that’s not any of the crazy words that they have to invent in German.
[0:16:08 – 0:16:09] Erik: They just start piling on.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:15] Erik: I think the longest word in the German language for the longest time was Panzertank because they didn’t know…
[0:16:16 – 0:16:19] Erik: There wasn’t any word for it, so it was just fully descriptive like…
[0:16:20 – 0:16:43] Adam: rolling shredded tire metal box gun vehicle just all has a nice ring to it yeah i mean i think i literally just inhaled a mosquito well i’m sure that really goes well with the seven million megawatt ale yeah yeah you know aldi one with the calling on the hotline i’m delicious oh i’m sorry hop hopalicious
[0:16:44 – 0:16:51] Erik: Yeah, the Ashigan story, but the almost comical, yet lest we be judged, yet we, they, be judged.
[0:16:52 – 0:16:53] Erik: Yeah, that’s right.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:54] Erik: That’s the Bible verse.
[0:16:55 – 0:17:04] Adam: Hopalicious, I believe, hails from Madison, in which they have the famous German restaurant called the Essenhaus, which literally just means eat house.
[0:17:04 – 0:17:07] Adam: Great polka, good dancing there on the weekends.
[0:17:07 – 0:17:08] Adam: Is that still around?
[0:17:09 – 0:17:11] Adam: Anybody still out there listening to the accordions and doing the polka?
[0:17:11 – 0:17:13] Erik: Tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[0:17:13 – 0:17:16] Erik: And the hotmail, it’s… Big boots of beer.
[0:17:16 – 0:17:19] Erik: The voicemail box, the hotline is open.
[0:17:19 – 0:17:20] Erik: It’s live.
[0:17:20 – 0:17:21] Erik: It’s buzzing.
[0:17:22 – 0:17:25] Erik: Almost on a regular basis, we are getting some voicemails in.
[0:17:25 – 0:17:26] Erik: We’ve got some trip reports.
[0:17:26 – 0:17:29] Erik: We’ve got some bagel opinions to get to as well.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:30] Adam: Bagel rankers.
[0:17:30 – 0:17:34] Erik: But I would spend a minute just unpacking the…
[0:17:36 – 0:18:02] Adam: i’m seriously like messed i think i it may have been a large fly well did you see it anybody else straight up mute my mic again this is a 198 this is cursed for me all right this we’re gonna lose this one too you might have to seriously go to commercial break here it’s got a uh i like a ate a large mosquito black fly against my will bite on the uvula that mosquito didn’t give me any choice in the matter it just flew right down the pipe
[0:18:03 – 0:18:19] Erik: Well, I mean, I feel like you’re, if anything, not necessarily even getting close to balancing out the old gripe episodes where I was coughing for close to three hours of content, which is, I would say, above average.
[0:18:21 – 0:18:21] Erik: There it is.
[0:18:21 – 0:18:26] Adam: This is a good… Serious trouble.
[0:18:27 – 0:18:28] Adam: And you know what they say…
[0:18:29 – 0:18:41] Erik: Why would I listen to a podcast when I can listen to my Rodcasts here at Tumble Homecasts and the podcasts that provides you with content well above expected?
[0:18:41 – 0:18:44] Adam: Why am I slamming this delicious beer?
[0:18:44 – 0:18:45] Adam: I have a bottle of water here.
[0:18:45 – 0:18:47] Adam: I could clear this up real quick with this bottle of water.
[0:18:48 – 0:18:51] Erik: Our CPAC stats are off the charts.
[0:18:52 – 0:18:54] Erik: We’re breaking the model here in the shed.
[0:18:55 – 0:18:57] Adam: Yeah, I mean, is it just short-term success?
[0:18:57 – 0:18:59] Adam: Are we going to recurse?
[0:18:59 – 0:19:05] Adam: Is there enough data here in the model to really judge our CPACs right now?
[0:19:06 – 0:19:10] Erik: Closing in on 200, I would think we have a bit of a track record that can be measured.
[0:19:10 – 0:19:11] Adam: Yeah, what’s your baseline CPAC?
[0:19:12 – 0:19:20] Erik: Dom LeCision’s models do prove we are providing well above content provided that is expected.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:27] Erik: And this is measured against all of their podcasts in the Boundary Waters realm and beyond.
[0:19:27 – 0:19:31] Adam: Dom’s model does love us and loves Tumble Home in general.
[0:19:31 – 0:19:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:33] Adam: So that’s nice.
[0:19:33 – 0:19:33] Adam: Yeah.
[0:19:34 – 0:19:36] Adam: Oh, yeah, I think I cleared her out.
[0:19:37 – 0:19:38] Adam: That was troubling.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:38] Adam: That was really troubling.
[0:19:39 – 0:19:40] Erik: Well, I’m glad you pushed through.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:42] Erik: You are a champion podcaster.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:45] Adam: That’s what you do, you know, when you got ash again on the mind, you know.
[0:19:46 – 0:19:48] Adam: You got to fight through, buddy.
[0:19:48 – 0:19:52] Adam: All right, so there’s a prism with a chair in it.
[0:19:52 – 0:19:54] Adam: That’s not very trustworthy, for one.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:59] Adam: And I was shocked to find out that they held on to the St. Croix rod until the third dumping.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:05] Erik: Yeah, also very surprising that it took finally the third dumping to just lose the rod.
[0:20:05 – 0:20:06] Adam: Yeah, it’s very poetic.
[0:20:08 – 0:20:09] Adam: I guess.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:11] Adam: Yeah, there’s something there.
[0:20:11 – 0:20:13] Erik: Well, at least he was wearing his PFD.
[0:20:13 – 0:20:14] Adam: Yeah, that was the good news.
[0:20:15 – 0:20:16] Erik: He was in the water for an hour, though.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:16] Erik: That’s insane.
[0:20:16 – 0:20:17] Adam: That’s a long time.
[0:20:18 – 0:20:19] Adam: What was the term?
[0:20:20 – 0:20:20] Adam: Pike lipper?
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Adam: Is that what I think it is?
[0:20:22 – 0:20:29] Erik: I would imagine it’s probably like that little long, grabby muck boot that you slide down when you’re ice fishing.
[0:20:30 – 0:20:31] Adam: Are they long pliers?
[0:20:31 – 0:20:31] Adam: Oh, the gaff?
[0:20:32 – 0:20:34] Adam: No, I’m thinking this is like that long grabber.
[0:20:34 – 0:20:36] Erik: Yeah, with like the tiny little pincer thing.
[0:20:36 – 0:20:36] Adam: Right.
[0:20:36 – 0:20:41] Adam: I kind of use a similar, I like the long dinosaur plier, but that’s not a pike clipper, I don’t think.
[0:20:42 – 0:20:44] Erik: Or is a pike clipper one of those like jaw spreaders?
[0:20:45 – 0:21:01] Adam: uh i yeah i’m thinking it’s the thing like the you grab it by the lip with the it’s like a big vice grip looking thing yeah but it’s gentle it’s gentle but tough yeah the it’s tough love on the pike the jaw spreader just strikes me as so like a medical device yeah that’s brutal
[0:21:01 – 0:21:05] Erik: Yeah, it’s like the rib cracker when you’re going in for like open heart surgery.
[0:21:06 – 0:21:06] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:21:07 – 0:21:13] Erik: There’s so many different insanely specific implements that go into fishing that is just kind of… Well, I got to say, yeah.
[0:21:13 – 0:21:17] Erik: Slowly led me to like just oversimplify everything.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:20] Adam: Meanwhile, I’ve got… Yeah, just got your cold steel X-wrap.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:20] Adam: That’s it.
[0:21:20 – 0:21:21] Erik: Yeah.
[0:21:21 – 0:21:24] Erik: And then my whole hand in a pike’s mouth just waiting to get shredded.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:25] Adam: There’s your pike clipper.
[0:21:25 – 0:21:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:25 – 0:21:26] Adam: Your left hand.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:27] Adam: Don’t use your right.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:27] Adam: Right.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:30] Adam: You’re going to need that for splitting kindling later.
[0:21:30 – 0:21:31] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:34] Adam: Yeah, eighth trip, though, on a Chicago.
[0:21:34 – 0:21:36] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:21:36 – 0:21:38] Adam: And never had dumped one before.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:39] Adam: All it takes is one.
[0:21:39 – 0:21:40] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:47] Adam: And I’ve been there and done that where you’re in the water and then you just completely, like, lose all sense of up and down.
[0:21:48 – 0:22:13] Adam: yeah and uh you’re done ski at that point it was really amazing that the guy was even able to paddle away after like a 45 minute coffee break yeah maybe hero status for hopalicious you saved that guy’s life hero status let’s just say it right out and the guy saved you saved that guy’s life i know what it feels like yeah i’ve saved some lives in my day not me i have fed a few people nice lunches though at the essen house eat eat eat eat eat
[0:22:15 – 0:22:17] Erik: Eat, eat your skin and bones.
[0:22:18 – 0:22:20] Del Figulus: Have some schnitzel with the honey.
[0:22:21 – 0:22:24] Erik: From the field and this one is from the forest.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:27] Adam: I guess I would go with the forest honey first at least.
[0:22:28 – 0:22:29] Adam: And then try the field honey later.
[0:22:30 – 0:22:41] Erik: Were you at the State Fair with us that time when we were in the Ag House and we went to that honey display where it was the entire spectrum of colors from super dark to very light?
[0:22:41 – 0:22:43] Adam: It was a spectrum of honeys, yeah.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:45] Erik: I wonder where the woods honey…
[0:22:45 – 0:22:46] Erik: I don’t remember the colors.
[0:22:46 – 0:22:47] Erik: They seemed like they were mostly the same.
[0:22:48 – 0:22:50] Erik: And she was probably just blowing some old German smoke.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:51] Erik: Yeah, right.
[0:22:51 – 0:22:52] Erik: You know.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:53] Erik: I appreciate the effort.
[0:22:55 – 0:22:57] Adam: I mean, it certainly made an impression on you.
[0:22:57 – 0:22:58] Adam: It did.
[0:22:58 – 0:23:00] Adam: I remember it probably mostly due to the fact that I had to bail.
[0:23:01 – 0:23:03] Erik: I still think of her on a regular basis.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:05] Erik: If you’re out there, Frau.
[0:23:06 – 0:23:07] Adam: It’s the breakfast lost.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:08] Adam: Es tut mir leid.
[0:23:08 – 0:23:09] Adam: The bagel left behind.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:11] Adam: You never forget.
[0:23:13 – 0:23:13] Erik: Never forget.
[0:23:14 – 0:23:17] Erik: Speaking of bagels, should we get to some bagel responses?
[0:23:17 – 0:23:18] Erik: Yeah, I gotta know.
[0:23:18 – 0:23:19] Adam: What are the people thinking?
[0:23:19 – 0:23:21] Adam: I got my bagel scorecard ready to go here.
[0:23:21 – 0:23:27] Erik: Well, I think first of all, we need to get to a bit of clarification from Del Figulus.
[0:23:28 – 0:23:31] Adam: Yeah, this is where the origin came from, Del Figulus.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:33] Erik: Yeah, and I think we were talking last week.
[0:23:34 – 0:23:38] Erik: I don’t know if we were, two weeks ago or whatever, necessarily…
[0:23:39 – 0:23:45] Erik: talking about the bagel in exact terms on where it was found.
[0:23:45 – 0:23:47] Erik: And I think that will be clarified here.
[0:23:48 – 0:23:51] Erik: And then we do have another email to go along with that.
[0:23:52 – 0:23:53] Adam: I’m going to try to think back.
[0:23:53 – 0:23:54] Adam: Was it cut in half?
[0:23:54 – 0:23:57] Erik: It was one half of a bagel, as far as we know at this point.
[0:23:57 – 0:23:58] Adam: The regular way?
[0:23:59 – 0:24:01] Erik: Well, I don’t know.
[0:24:01 – 0:24:01] Adam: Which half?
[0:24:02 – 0:24:03] Erik: What’s the regular way?
[0:24:03 – 0:24:04] Erik: The only way.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:04] Erik: Split, right?
[0:24:04 – 0:24:05] Adam: With a hole in the middle.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:10] Erik: I don’t want a little, you know, a crescent moon.
[0:24:11 – 0:24:13] Erik: The only thing that you… A fat crescent moon look.
[0:24:13 – 0:24:14] Adam: I don’t need that.
[0:24:14 – 0:24:15] Erik: That’s a bachelor cut, man.
[0:24:15 – 0:24:19] Erik: That’s if you just have like the whole tub of cream cheese at your disposal.
[0:24:19 – 0:24:19] Erik: You’re just dipping it?
[0:24:20 – 0:24:21] Erik: Just fully scooping.
[0:24:21 – 0:24:22] Adam: I’ve never done that, actually.
[0:24:22 – 0:24:23] Adam: I used to do that.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:25] Adam: Dipping the bagel into the cream cheese.
[0:24:25 – 0:24:26] Erik: Yeah.
[0:24:26 – 0:24:27] Erik: Oh, just not even.
[0:24:27 – 0:24:29] Adam: That’s a real derelict maneuver there.
[0:24:30 – 0:24:34] Erik: Dipping is a very kind term for what I was doing in that tub of cream cheese.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:35] Adam: Gorging.
[0:24:35 – 0:24:36] Erik: I was shoveling.
[0:24:36 – 0:24:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:38 – 0:24:38] Adam: You’re mining.
[0:24:39 – 0:24:39] Adam: Yes.
[0:24:39 – 0:24:42] Adam: Mining the cheese with your bagel implement.
[0:24:42 – 0:24:42] Adam: Yes.
[0:24:43 – 0:24:47] Erik: I was using the bagel as a rudimentary tool.
[0:24:48 – 0:24:52] Erik: And the bagel to cream cheese ratio was probably close to one to one.
[0:24:52 – 0:24:53] Adam: Yeah, that’s perfect.
[0:24:53 – 0:24:53] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:54 – 0:24:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:24:54 – 0:24:55] Adam: It’s a healthy breakfast.
[0:24:55 – 0:24:58] Adam: Didn’t even have a paper plate at your disposal.
[0:24:58 – 0:24:58] Adam: No.
[0:24:58 – 0:24:59] Erik: Who needs it?
[0:24:59 – 0:24:59] Erik: Not at all.
[0:25:00 – 0:25:00] Erik: All right.
[0:25:00 – 0:25:08] Erik: Well, let’s get some clarification on the bagel, and then maybe that will sway our minds, and then we’ve got some responses to the bagel as it stands.
[0:25:08 – 0:25:12] Erik: And like we say, the voicemail wildcard line is open.
[0:25:13 – 0:25:16] Erik: Where do you come down on bagel after this clarification?
[0:25:18 – 0:25:18] Del Figulus: Hey, guys.
[0:25:18 – 0:25:19] Del Figulus: Del Figulus again.
[0:25:20 – 0:25:29] Del Figulus: Clearly, I didn’t leave you with enough information on this bagel, and so I just thought I’d set the record straight.
[0:25:29 – 0:25:35] Del Figulus: First of all, it was one half of a bagel exactly.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:37] Del Figulus: The cream cheese was fresh.
[0:25:38 – 0:25:40] Del Figulus: No cracks on the edges.
[0:25:41 – 0:25:46] Del Figulus: It was moist, and it was sitting right there on the beach.
[0:25:46 – 0:25:46] Del Figulus: The dude…
[0:25:48 – 0:25:53] Del Figulus: almost certainly ditched it on his way to the motorized boat.
[0:25:54 – 0:25:59] Del Figulus: I’m sure he was looking forward to eating some beef Wellington once he got into town.
[0:25:59 – 0:26:02] Del Figulus: So this guy ditched a perfectly good bagel.
[0:26:03 – 0:26:07] Del Figulus: That being said, I am definitely team no bagel.
[0:26:08 – 0:26:14] Del Figulus: So we didn’t eat it, and it ended up coming out with all the trash, all the garbage.
[0:26:15 – 0:26:16] Del Figulus: So anyways,
[0:26:17 – 0:26:19] Del Figulus: If you need more information on it, let me know.
[0:26:19 – 0:26:25] Del Figulus: Happy to share what I know about this bagel atrocity.
[0:26:26 – 0:26:33] Del Figulus: I want to share one other thing really quick, just to wrap up the discussion on things found in the park.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:40] Del Figulus: A lot of these Basswood Lake campsites have, if you go back in the woods, a pile of metal.
[0:26:40 – 0:26:41] Del Figulus: I’m talking bolts.
[0:26:42 – 0:26:45] Del Figulus: gears, strips of metal.
[0:26:45 – 0:26:46] Del Figulus: It’s all rusty.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:47] Del Figulus: It’s old.
[0:26:48 – 0:26:56] Del Figulus: Really don’t know what they’re from, but we noticed this on a few different sites, and they’re always in a pile stashed way back in the woods.
[0:26:56 – 0:26:59] Del Figulus: So anyways, if you guys know anything about that, let me know.
[0:27:01 – 0:27:04] Del Figulus: Kind of one of the strangest things that I’ve found in the park.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:07] Del Figulus: Take it easy, guys.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:08] Del Figulus: Looking forward to hearing from you.
[0:27:12 – 0:27:12] Erik: All right.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:13] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:20] Erik: I feel like the fact that it was on a beach may play in.
[0:27:21 – 0:27:22] Erik: The sandiness.
[0:27:22 – 0:27:23] Adam: The sandiness.
[0:27:23 – 0:27:24] Adam: Although… That’s nasty.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:25] Erik: Moist.
[0:27:25 – 0:27:26] Adam: Yeah.
[0:27:26 – 0:27:27] Erik: It is moist.
[0:27:27 – 0:27:28] Adam: Yeah, I know.
[0:27:28 – 0:27:40] Adam: Del Figulus back at it with a primary clarifier and describing the bagel as fresh and moist, Eric, and, quote, perfectly good…
[0:27:43 – 0:27:50] Adam: But also an atrocity and on team not eating the bagel and packed it as trash out.
[0:27:50 – 0:27:53] Adam: So, I mean, points for packing it out, I guess.
[0:27:53 – 0:27:55] Adam: But you could have packed it out in your guts.
[0:27:56 – 0:27:56] Erik: Yeah.
[0:27:57 – 0:28:01] Adam: Because it seemed like it was, I don’t know, perfectly good and fresh.
[0:28:01 – 0:28:01] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:02 – 0:28:10] Erik: I feel like a little bit more shrift needs to be given to the person who is fully on the scene.
[0:28:10 – 0:28:13] Erik: And even he is team no bagel.
[0:28:14 – 0:28:17] Adam: Yeah, well, that goes a long way for sure.
[0:28:17 – 0:28:23] Adam: We’ll give an extra weighting on the CPACs rating for that story.
[0:28:23 – 0:28:24] Erik: 1.5 votes.
[0:28:24 – 0:28:26] Adam: 1.5 votes for Del Figulus.
[0:28:26 – 0:28:29] Adam: All right, I will add the extra 0.5 there.
[0:28:29 – 0:28:31] Erik: No Bagel, no Bagel, no Bagel, no Bagel.
[0:28:31 – 0:28:33] Adam: I’ll agree to add 0.5.
[0:28:33 – 0:28:35] Adam: You’re still on Team Bagel?
[0:28:35 – 0:28:37] Adam: I am on Team Bagel, and you’re on Team No.
[0:28:38 – 0:28:44] Adam: So now we’re at 2.5 versus 1 right now on the Bagel scorecard.
[0:28:44 – 0:28:44] Erik: Nice.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:46] Erik: If you’re scoring at home.
[0:28:46 – 0:28:47] Erik: Everybody is.
[0:28:48 – 0:28:52] Erik: And yeah, especially like Basswood.
[0:28:54 – 0:28:57] Adam: At least you didn’t find it in the pile of metal out back.
[0:28:57 – 0:28:59] Adam: Yeah, then you would for sure.
[0:28:59 – 0:29:03] Adam: Then I’d be even questioning it because you don’t want to take a haunted bagel with you.
[0:29:03 – 0:29:03] Adam: No.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:05] Adam: Yeah.
[0:29:05 – 0:29:08] Adam: Your guts might get spooked.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:09 – 0:29:10] Erik: Haunted duodenum.
[0:29:10 – 0:29:10] Erik: Yeah.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:14] Erik: Yeah, you don’t want that.
[0:29:14 – 0:29:14] Erik: No, you don’t.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:30] Erik: Yeah, I mean, I don’t know what to say about the, because you see on the permits, the leave no trace goes one way, but then there’s also the leave artifacts where clearly it’s trash, but it’s aged.
[0:29:30 – 0:29:31] Erik: It’s heritage garbage, right?
[0:29:32 – 0:29:33] Adam: Heritage trash, yeah.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:35] Erik: At what point does it turn into an artifact?
[0:29:35 – 0:29:40] Adam: 20 years is just like the classic plates on a Pontiac Vibe.
[0:29:40 – 0:29:41] Erik: Yeah, get that collector’s plate.
[0:29:42 – 0:29:43] Adam: Yeah, it’s a collector plate.
[0:29:43 – 0:29:46] Adam: I would say 20 years is where I would start the bidding on that one.
[0:29:47 – 0:29:50] Adam: That’s my over-under on for heritage trash or if it’s just trash trash.
[0:29:50 – 0:29:51] Adam: Yeah, 20 years.
[0:29:52 – 0:29:53] Adam: 20 years after that, you got to leave it.
[0:29:54 – 0:30:03] Adam: If that bagel had been 20 years old, somehow you radiocarbon dated the cream cheese and found out it was a 21-year-old bagel specimen, then you got to leave it.
[0:30:03 – 0:30:05] Adam: That’s an archaeological find.
[0:30:06 – 0:30:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:06 – 0:30:08] Erik: I mean, there’s a lot of that stuff out there.
[0:30:08 – 0:30:13] Erik: At the end of the portages and campsites at Caribou, there’s the old logging camp.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:19] Erik: Basswood’s festooned with old logging and machinery parts.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:19] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:25] Erik: I know that Quetico trip we were on, there was Quetico Lake and Beaver House, I remember.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:25] Erik: A lot full of stuff.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:30] Erik: There was just like full frames of like Model Ts on portages and stuff.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:31] Erik: Mm-hmm.
[0:30:31 – 0:30:34] Adam: Yeah, there’s an old, like, Volkswagen Beetle at the end of the road here.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:35] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:30:35 – 0:30:36] Adam: Coming in.
[0:30:36 – 0:30:41] Adam: You can still see there, especially in the spring, right before everything leaves out, you get a really good look at it.
[0:30:42 – 0:30:43] Adam: That’s definitely been in there for more than 20 years.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:44] Erik: Yeah, yeah.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:49] Erik: And then there’s, I don’t know, the Moose Viewing Trail has, like, an old, like, 70s, like, Chevy.
[0:30:49 – 0:30:51] Adam: Yeah, that stuff is kind of neat.
[0:30:52 – 0:30:53] Adam: on one hand.
[0:30:54 – 0:30:56] Adam: On the other hand, it is just trash.
[0:30:56 – 0:30:57] Adam: Mm-hmm.
[0:30:57 – 0:31:01] Adam: And a very clear example of don’t leave it there, but I don’t know what the story is with that old stuff.
[0:31:02 – 0:31:05] Adam: You know, they clearly just dumped it and left it, but…
[0:31:05 – 0:31:10] Adam: You know, was there ever a chance they could have pulled it out of there?
[0:31:10 – 0:31:10] Adam: Who knows?
[0:31:10 – 0:31:12] Adam: Yeah, or it could also… Don’t bring it in if you can’t pack it out.
[0:31:12 – 0:31:22] Erik: Yeah, it could also just be, like, years of motor bros out there just kind of, well, the old Honda finally kicked the bed.
[0:31:22 – 0:31:23] Erik: Just throw her in the woods.
[0:31:23 – 0:31:23] Erik: Yep.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:24] Erik: Piled.
[0:31:24 – 0:31:27] Adam: The toilet seat just nailed to a tree.
[0:31:28 – 0:31:28] Adam: That kind of deal.
[0:31:29 – 0:31:30] Adam: You know, that’s not a heritage.
[0:31:30 – 0:31:31] Adam: That’s not neat.
[0:31:32 – 0:31:33] Adam: That’s not heritage trash.
[0:31:33 – 0:31:33] Adam: That’s crap.
[0:31:34 – 0:32:01] Erik: yeah I guess yeah I mean sometimes when it’s like I mean it’s old so that it it’s like made well so it’s like made out of like real metal like that stuff for whatever reason doesn’t seem as bad as like the Dasani one sipper water bottle or a granola bar wrapper but really I don’t know what’s the difference
[0:32:02 – 0:32:23] Adam: just been there longer and it’s made out of nicer materials yeah you don’t want to find a hard mountain dew uh can the hard mountain dew lane and camp that would be easy to date this is definitely uh yeah you bring that in antiques roadshow in a couple years this is absolutely a fine specimen 2022
[0:32:24 – 0:32:30] Erik: How did it take Mountain Dew this long to get on the hard Mountain Dew train?
[0:32:30 – 0:32:31] Adam: Somebody, yeah.
[0:32:31 – 0:32:35] Adam: Somebody’s probably getting a really nice bonus this year for finally cracking that one.
[0:32:35 – 0:32:37] Erik: I mean, it’s been like over a year since like the…
[0:32:37 – 0:32:38] Erik: The hard.
[0:32:39 – 0:32:39] Erik: The hard.
[0:32:39 – 0:32:43] Erik: It’s been over a year since they were like memeing how everybody was making hard seltzers.
[0:32:43 – 0:32:45] Adam: Yeah, I know.
[0:32:45 – 0:32:47] Adam: What else is out there that hasn’t been harded?
[0:32:48 – 0:32:49] Adam: What else has not been hardened?
[0:32:52 – 0:32:53] Adam: Yeah, I don’t know.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:53] Adam: That’s a good question.
[0:32:53 – 0:32:54] Adam: Everything.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:54] Adam: Hard milk.
[0:32:55 – 0:32:55] Adam: Hard water.
[0:32:56 – 0:32:56] Adam: Hard water.
[0:32:56 – 0:33:00] Adam: Well, I mean, basically, you could probably get a… Is that what Zima was?
[0:33:01 – 0:33:02] Adam: Anybody out there remember Zima?
[0:33:02 – 0:33:03] Adam: What was Zima?
[0:33:03 – 0:33:04] Adam: Hard water.
[0:33:05 – 0:33:07] Adam: It’s literally hard water that’s also hard.
[0:33:08 – 0:33:09] Adam: It’s not softened in any way.
[0:33:09 – 0:33:09] Adam: No.
[0:33:10 – 0:33:11] Erik: Hard water and it’s got alcohol in it.
[0:33:11 – 0:33:15] Adam: It also rusts your guts and gets you dancing the polka.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:33:16 – 0:33:19] Erik: It comes in a very noticeable and unique bottle.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:20] Erik: That’s for sure.
[0:33:21 – 0:33:22] Erik: You remember back in the day?
[0:33:22 – 0:33:23] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Erik: You’re from Wisconsin.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:32] Erik: They may not have crossed the borders that much, but Golden Light Cans, they used to come with the most Art Deco-esque can.
[0:33:33 – 0:33:33] Erik: Is it Art Deco?
[0:33:34 – 0:33:34] Erik: It’s back.
[0:33:34 – 0:33:35] Erik: It’s back.
[0:33:35 – 0:33:36] Erik: Art Deco.
[0:33:36 – 0:33:39] Erik: You know the bottle of the Zimas that had all the tiny panels?
[0:33:39 – 0:34:00] Erik: yeah the mcgolden like cans used to have that too where it was like almost like crinkled around the edges yeah and they smoothed it out because expenses got too high yeah we can’t be wasting all our time creasing the can but they just put the lines on instead oh well that’s cheap thrills exactly no thank you give me my crinkled i want the crinkles give me that crinkle
[0:34:00 – 0:34:05] Adam: Yeah, well, I mean, I do remember that, but I don’t remember when it went away.
[0:34:06 – 0:34:07] Adam: It’s one of those things.
[0:34:07 – 0:34:12] Adam: We’ll just sneak it in the middle of the night on a Friday, and then hopefully nobody notices.
[0:34:12 – 0:34:18] Adam: A few people will notice, but after a week, they’ll get distracted by something else, and they’ll never talk about the crinkles again.
[0:34:18 – 0:34:23] Adam: Somebody is at the Mick Golden Light headquarters right now pounding their fist on a big table.
[0:34:23 – 0:34:26] Erik: Yeah, there’s some dusty light going off right now and an alarm.
[0:34:26 – 0:34:28] Adam: Damn it all, hell, Douglas.
[0:34:28 – 0:34:29] Adam: They’re on to us again.
[0:34:29 – 0:34:31] Adam: We’ve got to get this PR off.
[0:34:31 – 0:34:32] Adam: It’s a goddamn nightmare.
[0:34:33 – 0:34:34] Adam: The Crinkles.
[0:34:35 – 0:34:35] Adam: Sorry, boss.
[0:34:35 – 0:34:36] Adam: We’ll be right on it.
[0:34:36 – 0:34:38] Adam: We’ll get it first thing in the morning.
[0:34:38 – 0:35:02] Adam: now now all right jesus that poor intern yeah that was fun he’s like yeah he’s like the heaven’s gate you can level eight that right eric oh yeah it’ll get levelated he’s like the heaven’s gate internet tender everybody else is gone but he’s still watching me to make sure nobody is aware of the old crinkle can alarm i’m gonna delete that comment waiting i’m gonna have it
[0:35:03 – 0:35:11] Erik: Yeah, I seem to remember, I don’t know if this is true anymore, but I always remember hearing in high school and college, because that was like, that was the beer, that and Stroh’s.
[0:35:13 – 0:35:15] Adam: That’s the difference between you and I and our upbringing.
[0:35:15 – 0:35:17] Adam: You were drinking Strohs and Mick Golden Lights.
[0:35:18 – 0:35:20] Adam: Eastern Wisconsin, nothing but Red Dog.
[0:35:20 – 0:35:23] Adam: Just a plain old smooth dog can.
[0:35:23 – 0:35:24] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:35:24 – 0:35:25] Adam: 30 packs.
[0:35:25 – 0:35:26] Adam: I think that was the first 30 pack.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:28] Adam: It probably was.
[0:35:29 – 0:35:31] Adam: $9.99 a 30 pack.
[0:35:31 – 0:35:33] Erik: And then Boxer came along and tried pushing the limits.
[0:35:33 – 0:35:34] Adam: A 36?
[0:35:34 – 0:35:35] Adam: Were you insane, Boxer?
[0:35:35 – 0:35:36] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:36 – 0:35:38] Erik: And that’s no longer even a thing, I don’t think.
[0:35:38 – 0:35:39] Adam: Actually, I think it got made illegal.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:40] Adam: And rightly so.
[0:35:40 – 0:35:42] Adam: Now, that’s an atrocity.
[0:35:42 – 0:35:42] Erik: Yeah.
[0:35:42 – 0:35:45] Erik: They’re in beer jail with Four Loko and Zuma.
[0:35:45 – 0:35:47] Adam: I haven’t seen Boxer in a while.
[0:35:47 – 0:35:47] Adam: Is that still around?
[0:35:47 – 0:35:48] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:49] Adam: Neither is Red Dog and Boxer.
[0:35:50 – 0:35:50] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:35:51 – 0:36:19] Erik: yeah but the i do 10 000 candles in the wind no cranks no i do remember hearing like the only place that mick golden light it can be found is in minnesota and wisconsin it’s not anywhere else i don’t know if they just said that to help us make yeah i feel special yeah this is pretty special man they don’t you can’t get this stuff in indiana okay oh no oh no oh darn can’t get the bladder wash in indiana okay
[0:36:20 – 0:36:22] Erik: Anyway, I don’t even know where we’re at at this point.
[0:36:22 – 0:36:27] Erik: We’ve got an email that’s going to maybe swing the votes on bagel or no bagel.
[0:36:27 – 0:36:28] Erik: An email?
[0:36:28 – 0:36:29] Erik: No, voicemail.
[0:36:29 – 0:36:30] Erik: Okay, hit it.
[0:36:30 – 0:36:31] Erik: No emails.
[0:36:31 – 0:36:33] Erik: We just have responses on the subreddit.
[0:36:33 – 0:36:41] Erik: We’re going to finally, I swear to G, I swear to pod, we’re going to kill this question of the week once and for all.
[0:36:41 – 0:36:42] Erik: It’s been a month in the making.
[0:36:42 – 0:36:43] Adam: We’re going to get it.
[0:36:43 – 0:36:46] Adam: Got some responses to get to here, but first, we’ve got one more voicemail.
[0:36:46 – 0:36:48] Adam: I can’t even read tonight, so this is going to be great.
[0:36:49 – 0:36:53] Erik: All four eyes can read tonight, so look forward to that.
[0:36:53 – 0:36:54] Erik: It’s going to be hot.
[0:36:54 – 0:36:55] Erik: Here’s a voicemail.
[0:36:55 – 0:36:56] Erik: Where do you come down?
[0:36:56 – 0:36:57] Erik: Bagel?
[0:36:57 – 0:36:57] UNKNOWN: No bagel.
[0:36:58 – 0:36:59] Anthony: Hey, Eric and Adam.
[0:36:59 – 0:37:00] Anthony: This is Anthony.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:07] Anthony: I had to call immediately and let you know that I am definitely on team eat the bagel.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:09] Anthony: However, there are some caveats.
[0:37:09 – 0:37:10] Anthony: If there has been some
[0:37:11 – 0:37:15] Anthony: evidence of rodent nibbling, then I would forego the eating.
[0:37:15 – 0:37:26] Anthony: And especially in this instance, I would have to decline devouring that bagel because, oh, well, there’s cream cheese on it, and I do not eat the lactations of the bovine creature.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:28] Anthony: So that one’s out for me.
[0:37:28 – 0:37:37] Anthony: But generally speaking, if that bagel is sitting there, probably being hit by the sunlight, I would definitely eat it.
[0:37:37 – 0:37:37] Anthony: It’d be great.
[0:37:39 – 0:37:48] Anthony: Secondly, what is going on with people squatting other campsites in the BWCA while there’s already campers there?
[0:37:48 – 0:37:50] Anthony: Did you guys hear that news?
[0:37:51 – 0:37:53] Anthony: We need to discuss that, I think.
[0:37:54 – 0:38:05] Anthony: It’s like a big reason that I don’t go to this beer hiking trail very often anymore because I don’t want some squatter showing up in the middle of the wilderness while I’m trying to, I don’t know, listen to a bird or something.
[0:38:06 – 0:38:09] Anthony: So, anyways, I have a lot more to say, but I’ll cut this one short.
[0:38:09 – 0:38:12] Anthony: I’ll call back another time with more rants.
[0:38:12 – 0:38:13] Anthony: So, thanks, you guys.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:15] Anthony: Love the podcast, as always.
[0:38:16 – 0:38:16] Anthony: Bye-bye.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:19] Erik: Okay.
[0:38:19 – 0:38:25] Adam: Well, I mean, I scored it as eat the bagel, but then I have to rescind the vote, I guess.
[0:38:25 – 0:38:28] Erik: It’s a very technical answer slash vote, I feel like.
[0:38:29 – 0:38:32] Erik: Eat the bagel, but not in this case.
[0:38:32 – 0:38:35] Erik: Terry Free, Anthony.
[0:38:35 – 0:38:37] Adam: Thank you for the call.
[0:38:37 – 0:38:40] Adam: Sorry to hear you’re not going to indulge in the cram chase.
[0:38:41 – 0:38:47] Adam: I mean, I understand it, but I really couldn’t comprehend a life of no dairy.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:53] Adam: I could do vegetarian, but I don’t think I could ever give up eggs and cheese.
[0:38:55 – 0:38:58] Adam: But in this case, have you ever tried the cashew cream cheese?
[0:38:58 – 0:38:58] Adam: No.
[0:39:00 – 0:39:07] Adam: I do carry this at the co-op, and people ask me about it from time to time, and I have to be like, thank you for the question, but I have never tried this product.
[0:39:08 – 0:39:13] Adam: I cannot give you a recommendation on this, yes or no.
[0:39:13 – 0:39:14] Adam: Not enough information on this one.
[0:39:15 – 0:39:18] Adam: But people buy it, the cashew cream cheese.
[0:39:18 – 0:39:20] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:39:21 – 0:39:23] Adam: So maybe it was.
[0:39:23 – 0:39:25] Adam: Maybe it wasn’t real cream cheese, but…
[0:39:27 – 0:39:33] Erik: Well, it sounds like it was your straight run-of-the-mill Philadelphia thick cream cheese.
[0:39:33 – 0:39:38] Adam: It didn’t look like it had been nibbled by a rodent, so I don’t think you have to worry about that.
[0:39:38 – 0:39:40] Adam: I don’t know how to score that one.
[0:39:40 – 0:39:43] Adam: I guess I’m going to say no due to the cheese.
[0:39:43 – 0:39:44] Erik: Maybe that’s a .5.
[0:39:44 – 0:39:47] Erik: Yeah, we get the .5 back.
[0:39:47 – 0:39:48] Erik: Nice.
[0:39:48 – 0:39:50] Adam: Or you just get a .5 on your column.
[0:39:50 – 0:39:51] Adam: So we’re up to 3-1 right now.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:53] Adam: I would score that as a .5 in the pass.
[0:39:54 – 0:40:23] Adam: just on principle on dairy but in you know in reality though it sounded like open to the concept of eating a left behind bagel on a beach sure yeah so i’m not going to take a 0.5 on our side on that one but um so it looks like we’re sitting at one to three right now after the voting okay from the last two callers voting is a little disappointed i’m not surprised though people are skittish um you know eating you know orphaned bagel i’m not surprised
[0:40:24 – 0:40:26] Erik: What about this squatters, though, Eric?
[0:40:26 – 0:40:27] Erik: You haven’t heard about this?
[0:40:27 – 0:40:30] Erik: I am not up to speed on this one.
[0:40:30 – 0:40:34] Adam: My finger is no longer on the pulse of wilderness news nearly as much as it used to be.
[0:40:34 – 0:40:37] Adam: I’m assuming this is in reference to the story on NPR.
[0:40:38 – 0:40:41] Adam: One day I came into work and literally had three different people at the co-op be like, did you hear about this?
[0:40:42 – 0:40:50] Erik: These people, I heard this on NPR, these people just paddled into somebody’s campsite and set up right on the landing while they were cooking dinner.
[0:40:51 – 0:41:15] Adam: and just like didn’t make eye contact and refused like just didn’t acknowledge that there’s people in the campsite already like we’re just gonna pretend like you’re not there and that was uh odd um i wouldn’t like that at all but then the people camping there like didn’t really it didn’t seem like they really like confronted the people either like hey shoo that sounds like some scram it sounds like the people that were camping there were probably some like lutheran minnesotans then
[0:41:15 – 0:41:17] Adam: Yeah, I guess we’ll just let them.
[0:41:18 – 0:41:24] Adam: But from what I had heard, I didn’t actually see or I didn’t read the story or hear the story on the radio.
[0:41:25 – 0:41:28] Adam: It sounded like there was other campsites available on the lake, too.
[0:41:29 – 0:41:32] Adam: That’s what made this a particularly egregious offense.
[0:41:32 – 0:41:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:41:32 – 0:41:34] Adam: Just sounds like somebody has no idea what’s going on.
[0:41:35 – 0:41:38] Adam: You’ve heard of it before where somebody’s like, do you mind if I pull in for the night?
[0:41:38 – 0:41:41] Adam: It’s sunset, and all these sites are taken.
[0:41:42 – 0:41:45] Adam: I’ve never had that happen, but all right, if it’s that late in the day.
[0:41:45 – 0:41:47] Adam: But from what I heard about this one, it was like middle of the day.
[0:41:48 – 0:41:51] Adam: Other sites are open, and these people are like, your site looks quite nice.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:54] Adam: We’re going to just pull in here and then not acknowledge your presence.
[0:41:54 – 0:41:55] Adam: Well, that’s the way to do it.
[0:41:55 – 0:41:57] Adam: That’s super weird, and that’s one thing.
[0:41:57 – 0:41:59] Adam: But then how did they cook?
[0:41:59 – 0:42:02] Adam: I assume they already claimed the fire-grade area.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:03] Adam: I don’t know what you do there.
[0:42:03 – 0:42:09] Erik: Just a bunch of gypsies mouth mixing cash like or like Richmore Foods down at the shoreline.
[0:42:09 – 0:42:14] Adam: Yeah, there was like a Gangs of New York style fight scene up at the Boxesser.
[0:42:14 – 0:42:15] Erik: I bet, yeah.
[0:42:17 – 0:42:22] Erik: Yeah, no, I did not hear about that one specifically, but I would for sure say something.
[0:42:22 – 0:42:27] Adam: I think this was a story that was also kind of indicating that this has been happening.
[0:42:28 – 0:42:32] Adam: I didn’t, again, I’m not going to talk too much more on this because I didn’t actually hear it.
[0:42:32 – 0:42:34] Adam: I just heard it secondhand from three different people.
[0:42:35 – 0:42:36] Adam: So I feel like I got the gist of it.
[0:42:36 – 0:42:37] Erik: Yeah, you basically read the article.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:40] Adam: Yeah, you talked to three people that told you about an article.
[0:42:40 – 0:42:43] Adam: I think you basically read it three times over then.
[0:42:43 – 0:42:43] Adam: Yeah.
[0:42:44 – 0:42:54] Adam: Yeah, it basically just seemed like this was a story being told to indicate that this is also happening to other people who maybe weren’t directly interviewed.
[0:42:55 – 0:42:56] Adam: So it’s a new thing.
[0:42:56 – 0:42:56] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:42:57 – 0:42:58] Erik: Are you surprised?
[0:42:58 – 0:43:09] Erik: I’m sure the U.S. Forest Service will make some wild sweeping change that is out of the blue and not consulted with anybody else to make up for a few weird anecdotes that happen.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:16] Adam: Anyways, if somebody ever pulled up in my cams, I’ve given people salty looks and yelled at people for paddling too close to my bobber.
[0:43:16 – 0:43:20] Adam: So if somebody actually tried to make landfall without permission…
[0:43:21 – 0:43:28] Adam: in our campsite, I would go ahead and say I guarantee I would, you know, I wouldn’t share my bagel with them and I would not share my campsite.
[0:43:29 – 0:43:29] Adam: Get out of here.
[0:43:30 – 0:43:30] Erik: No.
[0:43:30 – 0:43:31] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:31 – 0:43:34] Adam: Especially if there’s open campsites around, be like, paddle over there.
[0:43:34 – 0:43:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:43:34 – 0:43:35] Erik: You knuckleheads.
[0:43:35 – 0:43:37] Erik: Do you not understand how this works?
[0:43:38 – 0:43:39] Adam: That’s not how any of this works.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:40] Adam: All right.
[0:43:40 – 0:43:41] Adam: So we put that one to bed.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:42] Adam: Got it.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:42] Adam: Nailed it.
[0:43:42 – 0:43:43] Adam: We’re on the same page here.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:44] Adam: Check.
[0:43:44 – 0:43:46] Erik: Two to zero on the voting there.
[0:43:46 – 0:43:50] Erik: Why would I listen to a podcast when I can listen to a podcast?
[0:43:51 – 0:43:52] Adam: Didn’t, didn’t.
[0:43:54 – 0:43:58] Adam: Well, I’m done with my solar-powered honey ale.
[0:43:59 – 0:43:59] Erik: Are you?
[0:43:59 – 0:43:59] Adam: Yep.
[0:44:00 – 0:44:01] Adam: It was pretty good.
[0:44:01 – 0:44:03] Adam: Thank you for that, J-Dat.
[0:44:03 – 0:44:04] Adam: Appreciate you.
[0:44:04 – 0:44:07] Adam: I appreciate you, J-Dat.
[0:44:08 – 0:44:09] Adam: I love you.
[0:44:09 – 0:44:12] Adam: The sun is still shining here in the tumble shed.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:13] Erik: I love you.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:14] Adam: I love you, buddy.
[0:44:15 – 0:44:16] Adam: I want to give you a hug.
[0:44:16 – 0:44:18] Adam: I’ll share my campsite with you, J-Dat.
[0:44:19 – 0:44:20] Adam: Not these other clowns.
[0:44:21 – 0:44:23] Adam: That’s the kind of people that would woodclimb you.
[0:44:23 – 0:44:26] Adam: They’d come in and be like, hey, can we come on in the campsite?
[0:44:26 – 0:44:27] Adam: We’ll give you this wet birch.
[0:44:28 – 0:44:31] Erik: Yeah, we got a nice treated 4×4 here that I hauled in from the feed farm.
[0:44:32 – 0:44:33] Adam: Hey, it’s treated.
[0:44:33 – 0:44:34] Adam: You know it’s good.
[0:44:34 – 0:44:35] Adam: I’m going to burn real nice.
[0:44:35 – 0:44:36] Adam: Thing will burn all night.
[0:44:36 – 0:44:37] Adam: I’m going to burn real nice.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:39] Adam: It’s a new moon tonight.
[0:44:39 – 0:44:40] Adam: We’re going to need the extra kindling.
[0:44:40 – 0:44:42] Erik: We’re going to need the warmth, too.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:42] Erik: It’s all in the warmth.
[0:44:43 – 0:44:44] Erik: 62 right now.
[0:44:45 – 0:44:46] Adam: Yes.
[0:44:46 – 0:44:46] Adam: Yes.
[0:44:47 – 0:44:47] Adam: Yes.
[0:44:50 – 0:44:56] Adam: If the word yes has multiple syllables, you know you’re doing it right, Eric.
[0:44:56 – 0:44:57] Adam: Yeah.
[0:44:58 – 0:44:58] Adam: Oh, yes.
[0:44:58 – 0:44:59] Adam: Oh, yes.
[0:44:59 – 0:45:00] Adam: All right.
[0:45:00 – 0:45:02] Adam: Well, I think I am going to bust into a backup beer here, though.
[0:45:03 – 0:45:04] Adam: It’s a pretty nice afternoon here in the shed.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:05] Erik: It is.
[0:45:05 – 0:45:11] Erik: The dogs are not cajoling, and we’re making it seem like we are on the back of a dog sled.
[0:45:12 – 0:45:34] Erik: apologies uh 45 minutes in and we’ve listened to a number of voicemails if you’re still listening fyi if you’re gonna call in three minutes is the limit on a voicemail recording no limits on the amount of voicemails he can leave though you can keep calling and just assign make sure you announce at the beginning this is part two of six yeah
[0:45:35 – 0:45:36] Erik: Just so we can keep track.
[0:45:36 – 0:45:37] Erik: Chapter three.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:39] Erik: Chapter three.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:40] Adam: Rusted junk.
[0:45:40 – 0:45:42] Adam: Heritage trash.
[0:45:42 – 0:45:44] Adam: Where do you come down on bolts?
[0:45:45 – 0:45:45] Adam: Old cans.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:47] Adam: Ceramics.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:49] Adam: You ever find ceramics?
[0:45:49 – 0:45:54] Adam: Remember when Deke found them ceramics up on, bleep the name of the lake out.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:55] Erik: Bleep.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:56] Adam: Lake.
[0:45:56 – 0:45:57] Erik: Yeah.
[0:45:57 – 0:45:57] Erik: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
[0:45:58 – 0:46:01] Adam: I don’t, but… You don’t remember when he came back with the ceramics?
[0:46:01 – 0:46:04] Adam: I was like, geez, that could be, like, real old.
[0:46:04 – 0:46:09] Adam: But then he had them, like, looked at by somebody, and it was like, these are from the 70s.
[0:46:09 – 0:46:11] Adam: I think this is from… Pottery Barn?
[0:46:11 – 0:46:12] Adam: J.C. Penney’s.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:14] Erik: This is from Prangies.
[0:46:14 – 0:46:18] Erik: This is a Montgomery Ward chafing dish.
[0:46:20 – 0:46:20] Erik: Yeah.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:23] Adam: You can still see the remnants of margarine.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:24] Erik: Get out of here.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:35] Erik: I do remember the kiosk at Prairie Portage has a little mini paragraph that we thought for the longest time that it was a typo.
[0:46:35 – 0:46:36] Erik: Pottery sherds.
[0:46:37 – 0:46:37] Erik: Sherds.
[0:46:37 – 0:46:39] Adam: Oh, my God.
[0:46:40 – 0:46:42] Erik: Yes, on them sherd days.
[0:46:42 – 0:46:45] Erik: But then we ended up doing a little bit more research.
[0:46:45 – 0:46:48] Erik: And in fact, sherds is a thing.
[0:46:48 – 0:46:48] Erik: It’s not shards.
[0:46:49 – 0:46:51] Erik: It is actually sherds.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:51] Adam: Sherding.
[0:46:52 – 0:46:53] Erik: Sherds.
[0:46:55 – 0:46:56] Adam: That’s if it’s older than 20 years.
[0:46:56 – 0:46:58] Adam: Yeah, that’s if it’s… Then it becomes…
[0:46:58 – 0:46:59] Adam: It’s no longer shards.
[0:46:59 – 0:47:01] Adam: It’s more refined.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:02] Erik: That’s if it’s from…
[0:47:02 – 0:47:03] Erik: Aged to perfection.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:07] Erik: You used to be able to order it from the catalog via Sears and Roebuck.
[0:47:07 – 0:47:08] Erik: There you go.
[0:47:08 – 0:47:10] Erik: Whatever happened to Roebuck?
[0:47:10 – 0:47:12] Erik: Sears seems like he kind of took the lead there.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:13] Erik: There’s no Roebuck Tower.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:16] Adam: Tied a cinder block around his ankle.
[0:47:16 – 0:47:16] Adam: Oh, God.
[0:47:17 – 0:47:21] Adam: Tossed him overboard off the Viking Ocontantis murder yacht.
[0:47:21 – 0:47:22] Adam: There it is.
[0:47:22 – 0:47:22] Adam: Boats.
[0:47:24 – 0:47:26] Erik: Well, we’re finishing the question.
[0:47:26 – 0:47:28] Erik: Oh, the week found and lost.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:29] Adam: We’re doing it.
[0:47:29 – 0:47:31] Adam: No more voicemails.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:31] Adam: We’re good.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:32] Erik: Well, there are some.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:33] Erik: We’ll save them, though.
[0:47:33 – 0:47:34] Erik: They’re mostly trip report based.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:39] Adam: So we’re currently sitting at, yeah, one to three on the bagels and don’t like it.
[0:47:39 – 0:47:42] Adam: Perfectly good, delicious, moist bagel.
[0:47:43 – 0:47:43] Adam: I’ll pass.
[0:47:44 – 0:47:45] Adam: Come on.
[0:47:45 – 0:47:46] Erik: Pack it out in your gullet.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:47] Erik: Come on, people.
[0:47:47 – 0:47:48] Adam: Yep.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:49] Adam: Okay.
[0:47:49 – 0:47:51] Adam: So we have some comments to read as well?
[0:47:51 – 0:47:52] Adam: Yes, we do.
[0:47:52 – 0:47:52] Adam: All right.
[0:47:52 – 0:47:53] Erik: We sure do.
[0:47:54 – 0:47:55] Erik: You don’t remember reading these?
[0:47:55 – 0:47:58] Adam: Oh, yeah, but I can’t wait to read them all again.
[0:47:58 – 0:47:59] Adam: It’s so much fun.
[0:47:59 – 0:48:00] Adam: It was great.
[0:48:00 – 0:48:06] Adam: Actually, I do remember not being able to read them.
[0:48:06 – 0:48:10] Adam: My reading voice and eyes were not working last week.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:16] Adam: So it is, again, a blessing that that file has somehow mysteriously vanished.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:18] Adam: Fishy.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:21] Adam: You’ll never know what happened there, but it’s probably for the best.
[0:48:21 – 0:48:26] Adam: So we’ll reread them, and I guarantee you, Eric, I will do a lot better at reading tonight.
[0:48:27 – 0:48:27] Erik: You guarantee it?
[0:48:27 – 0:48:33] Adam: Also, it’s not 11 p.m., and I actually slept last night, so I’m feeling great.
[0:48:34 – 0:48:34] Adam: Okay.
[0:48:35 – 0:48:36] Adam: He’s feeling great.
[0:48:36 – 0:48:39] Erik: Y’all know what the topic of conversation is.
[0:48:39 – 0:48:41] Erik: We’re talking about found items.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:43] Erik: Strange.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:44] Erik: Usable.
[0:48:45 – 0:48:47] Erik: Never speak of it again-able.
[0:48:48 – 0:48:50] Erik: Items in the park.
[0:48:50 – 0:48:52] Erik: Squarejaw77.
[0:48:52 – 0:48:55] Erik: Hello, friend of the show.
[0:48:56 – 0:48:58] Erik: There’s a green dot next to his little emoji guy.
[0:48:58 – 0:49:02] Erik: I bet you that means he’s verified and bona fide.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:03] Erik: Send him a message.
[0:49:04 – 0:49:05] Adam: Hey, we’re talking about you right now.
[0:49:05 – 0:49:06] Erik: We’re talking about you right now.
[0:49:07 – 0:49:08] Erik: Anything to say?
[0:49:08 – 0:49:10] Erik: There’s a German word for that, for sure.
[0:49:10 – 0:49:17] Erik: SquareJaw77, I really cannot say I have found anything, but we did run into something interesting on a Saginaw Gat campsite last year.
[0:49:19 – 0:49:20] Erik: Oh my.
[0:49:20 – 0:49:21] Erik: Seems like.
[0:49:21 – 0:49:28] Erik: A child with quite an imagination created a small little diorama out of rocks, sticks, etc.
[0:49:28 – 0:49:33] Erik: We didn’t see it at first, but when we discovered it, we all just examined it for quite some time.
[0:49:34 – 0:49:35] Erik: Was this the first season of…
[0:49:36 – 0:50:01] Erik: true detective yeah there were archways made out of twigs cobblestone like walkways neat buildings a bridge again etc i want to know more about was there any bones or antlers involved yeah you know this is like a real rust and coal scenario a human femur it was actually pretty neat i understand that it was definitely leaving a trace but it was so darn cute i didn’t mind
[0:50:02 – 0:50:02] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:50:02 – 0:50:03] Adam: You guys?
[0:50:03 – 0:50:03] Adam: Too cute.
[0:50:04 – 0:50:06] Adam: So that’s a different scenario.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:06] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:06 – 0:50:07] Erik: Too cute and or rusted.
[0:50:07 – 0:50:08] Erik: Then it’s not trash.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:08 – 0:50:11] Adam: If it’s real rusty and old, then it’s not trash.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:15] Erik: Rusted over 20 years old and cute, we’re fine.
[0:50:15 – 0:50:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:50:16 – 0:50:16] Adam: I agree.
[0:50:17 – 0:50:17] Erik: Okay.
[0:50:19 – 0:50:20] Erik: Too cute to trash.
[0:50:20 – 0:50:22] Erik: So Bobby, we all know Bobby.
[0:50:22 – 0:50:22] Erik: Yeah.
[0:50:23 – 0:50:23] Erik: What’s this?
[0:50:23 – 0:50:25] Erik: This isn’t a Bobby if it’s cute.
[0:50:28 – 0:50:30] Erik: What’s a cute name for a little kid?
[0:50:32 – 0:50:32] Erik: Pike?
[0:50:33 – 0:50:33] Erik: Betty?
[0:50:35 – 0:50:36] Adam: It’s Bobby and Betty.
[0:50:36 – 0:50:37] Adam: He got Betty’d.
[0:50:38 – 0:50:40] Adam: We already have a Barry, don’t we?
[0:50:41 – 0:50:42] Erik: Who’s Barry?
[0:50:42 – 0:50:45] Adam: I thought Barry was like Uncle Bobby’s father.
[0:50:46 – 0:50:47] Erik: Uncle Bobby?
[0:50:47 – 0:50:48] Erik: Uncle Bobby?
[0:50:48 – 0:50:49] Erik: No.
[0:50:49 – 0:50:51] Adam: Baby Bobby with Barry Bobby.
[0:50:51 – 0:50:53] Adam: I’m not sure.
[0:50:53 – 0:50:54] Adam: Baby Bobby.
[0:50:55 – 0:50:56] Adam: Does it have to start with a B?
[0:50:56 – 0:50:57] Erik: No, it doesn’t.
[0:50:57 – 0:51:02] Erik: But I’m just thinking about a scenario in which you do leave a trace, but it’s cute.
[0:51:02 – 0:51:06] Adam: What’s the cutest possible name, yeah, for a camping child?
[0:51:08 – 0:51:09] Erik: Get back to us.
[0:51:09 – 0:51:10] Erik: Tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[0:51:10 – 0:51:11] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:51:11 – 0:51:12] Erik: I got nothing.
[0:51:12 – 0:51:13] Erik: We’ll come up with it.
[0:51:13 – 0:51:15] Erik: I’m sure it’ll speak to us at some point here.
[0:51:16 – 0:51:17] Erik: But you’re up next.
[0:51:17 – 0:51:18] Erik: All right, sir.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:18] Erik: I’m going to twist the…
[0:51:21 – 0:51:38] Adam: i did uh i did during one of those voicemails find a couple extra german words for breakfast which i’ll lay on you later next up on the show cheap dancer uh 28 days ago now five boxes of wine very creative topic nice work people is this your topic
[0:51:40 – 0:51:41] Erik: No, we came up with this.
[0:51:42 – 0:51:45] Erik: I dreamt of this topic in a dream.
[0:51:46 – 0:51:50] Adam: One of my favorite aspects of camping is the take a steak, leave a steak program.
[0:51:51 – 0:51:51] Adam: Yeah.
[0:51:51 – 0:51:52] Adam: Meat?
[0:51:52 – 0:51:54] Adam: Steak is an A-K-E.
[0:51:55 – 0:52:00] Adam: I find the most private and all public campgrounds use this method for making sure all tents are staked out correctly.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:06] Adam: Of course, you cannot knowingly leave any steak behind, but it’s kind of like socks at the laundromat.
[0:52:06 – 0:52:07] Adam: Take one, leave one.
[0:52:08 – 0:52:13] Adam: I’m filled with pride when I dump out my steak bag and there’s no two steaks of the same color or material.
[0:52:14 – 0:52:14] Adam: Nice.
[0:52:15 – 0:52:16] Adam: That’s a yeah.
[0:52:16 – 0:52:18] Adam: That’s a real program, actually.
[0:52:18 – 0:52:27] Adam: It’s from the Endowment of the Arts and the Corporation for Public Tent Staking.
[0:52:27 – 0:52:31] Adam: And by campers like you, Cheap Dancer.
[0:52:31 – 0:52:33] Adam: Thank you for your support.
[0:52:33 – 0:52:34] Adam: Next up on the show…
[0:52:37 – 0:52:41] Adam: First time on the show, Montreslic.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:43] Adam: I nailed that, Eric.
[0:52:44 – 0:52:47] Adam: I guarantee I did it way better today than last week.
[0:52:48 – 0:52:51] Adam: Three boxes of wine 28 days ago.
[0:52:52 – 0:53:03] Adam: Last June was my first BWCA adventure, jumping in from entry point 62 after being helped by a handsome, tall, bearded man with a very familiar voice.
[0:53:04 – 0:53:06] Erik: Which entry point is 62?
[0:53:06 – 0:53:07] Erik: 62, Eric.
[0:53:08 – 0:53:12] Erik: I think that’s… Where are we going?
[0:53:13 – 0:53:14] Adam: It’s over here somewhere.
[0:53:15 – 0:53:18] Erik: That’s the… What is this?
[0:53:18 – 0:53:19] Erik: Have you ever seen this on the map?
[0:53:20 – 0:53:21] Erik: Just outside of Tower?
[0:53:21 – 0:53:22] Erik: President McKinley?
[0:53:23 – 0:53:24] Erik: Point of interest?
[0:53:24 – 0:53:27] Erik: If not… That’s got to be close to entry point 62.
[0:53:27 – 0:53:27] Erik: 62.
[0:53:29 – 0:53:30] Adam: You keep looking.
[0:53:30 – 0:53:31] Adam: I’m going to keep reading.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:33] Adam: I do not see a 62.
[0:53:33 – 0:53:35] Erik: I mean, I don’t even know if it goes…
[0:53:35 – 0:53:36] Erik: I don’t think they go up that high.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:39] Adam: We got off to a late start.
[0:53:40 – 0:53:41] Adam: Is this a hiking entry point?
[0:53:41 – 0:53:42] Adam: What’s going on?
[0:53:42 – 0:53:47] Adam: We got off to a late start and found that the first five campsites on Caribou were taken.
[0:53:47 – 0:53:50] Adam: Thankfully, the beautiful Site 6 was open.
[0:53:52 – 0:53:55] Adam: The weather was cold and rainy and we were both underdressed.
[0:53:56 – 0:53:59] Adam: My wet feet were freezing and fingertips were blue.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:02] Adam: We arrived at the campsite and needed a fire ASAP.
[0:54:03 – 0:54:11] Adam: Walked right up to the slight incline to the fire grate and were elated to find a large stack of cut, stacked dry firewood of all sizes.
[0:54:12 – 0:54:16] Adam: We were able to get a roaring fire set up within minutes and ended up having an amazing trip.
[0:54:16 – 0:54:17] Adam: P.S.
[0:54:17 – 0:54:21] Adam: You guys aren’t kidding about the number of huge smallies back there.
[0:54:22 – 0:54:23] Adam: Ah, we are not.
[0:54:24 – 0:54:25] Adam: We are not.
[0:54:25 – 0:54:28] Erik: It’s old slabbo cove is what they call it.
[0:54:29 – 0:54:30] Adam: A lot of big fish back there.
[0:54:30 – 0:54:31] Adam: My golly.
[0:54:32 – 0:54:34] Adam: My golly, I’m cruising, Eric.
[0:54:34 – 0:54:35] Adam: I’m just going to keep going.
[0:54:35 – 0:54:36] Erik: Okay, you’re pulling the reverse.
[0:54:36 – 0:54:37] Adam: I’m going one way.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:38] Adam: I got to make up for last week.
[0:54:38 – 0:54:39] Adam: You’re going to make up for last week.
[0:54:39 – 0:54:40] Adam: I mean this week.
[0:54:40 – 0:54:41] Adam: I mean, that never happens.
[0:54:41 – 0:54:42] Adam: This episode.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:44] Erik: These aren’t the responses you’re looking for.
[0:54:45 – 0:54:47] Adam: This is a real true detective.
[0:54:47 – 0:54:49] Adam: Time is a flat circle scenario here.
[0:54:50 – 0:54:50] Erik: Sure.
[0:54:51 – 0:54:52] Adam: Oh, boy.
[0:54:52 – 0:54:57] Adam: Next up on the show, Eagle98MN, great friend of the show.
[0:54:57 – 0:55:00] Adam: 28 days ago with five box of wine.
[0:55:01 – 0:55:03] Adam: I’ll restate my answer from the previous thread.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:09] Adam: I found a plastic clothing hanger hanging in a pine tree at the portage on the east end of Mountain Lake or Moose Lake.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:12] Adam: I don’t remember exactly anymore.
[0:55:13 – 0:55:14] Adam: No clothes, nothing else.
[0:55:16 – 0:55:21] Adam: Why on earth would someone need to be so neatly dressed in the wilderness that they need a hanger?
[0:55:22 – 0:55:23] Adam: Programming note to Eric.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:25] Adam: Cue Lady in Red.
[0:55:25 – 0:55:25] Adam: All right.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:26] Adam: Okay.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:27] Erik: Here it is.
[0:55:27 – 0:55:36] Adam: I attached it to my pack and intended to carry it out, and unfortunately, I think it broke off my pack somewhere in the Fowls or the Royal River area for someone else to discover later.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:40] Adam: Anyone out there listening find a hanger on the Royal River?
[0:55:40 – 0:55:40] Adam: No.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:52] Erik: It’s got to be something very specific that, you know, those guys that have like their foam noodles and their things that are not even intended.
[0:55:52 – 0:55:53] Erik: But it’s like, what?
[0:55:53 – 0:55:59] Adam: This might be an item from another future episode on bizarre things.
[0:55:59 – 0:56:00] Adam: Bizarre?
[0:56:00 – 0:56:02] Adam: Or just the most useless thing.
[0:56:02 – 0:56:04] Erik: Well, that one is out there.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:05] Adam: That’s going to come up next, I think.
[0:56:05 – 0:56:08] Adam: But yeah, that was probably left there by one of the coat hanger five.
[0:56:08 – 0:56:09] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:10] Erik: Coathanger 5.
[0:56:10 – 0:56:12] Erik: They’re affiliated with the Ely 6.
[0:56:13 – 0:56:15] Erik: Barney Lackner is in charge of it all.
[0:56:15 – 0:56:16] Adam: That was me.
[0:56:16 – 0:56:17] Adam: Bunch of other assholes.
[0:56:20 – 0:56:22] Erik: What do you think Barney Lackner is up to these days?
[0:56:23 – 0:56:24] Erik: Probably storming the Capitol.
[0:56:25 – 0:56:26] Erik: Yeah, just getting away with it.
[0:56:26 – 0:56:27] Erik: On his own right now.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:28] Erik: Yep.
[0:56:28 – 0:56:29] Erik: Just out there yelling.
[0:56:30 – 0:56:34] Erik: Hopalicious, thank you for the voicemail.
[0:56:34 – 0:56:36] Erik: Prior to my first trip, I had never heard of the Boundary Waters.
[0:56:36 – 0:56:43] Erik: Then one day a friend asked if I wanted to go fishing in Minnesota, and I said yes without really knowing what I just said yes to.
[0:56:44 – 0:56:47] Erik: What I found during that trip was the park.
[0:56:47 – 0:56:48] Adam: The park.
[0:56:48 – 0:56:50] Adam: Those memories will never be lost.
[0:56:51 – 0:56:55] Erik: Wow, what a wholesome, wholesome response that is from…
[0:56:56 – 0:57:01] Erik: Hopalicious, champion of the beer catalog, still going strong.
[0:57:01 – 0:57:02] Adam: Still doing it.
[0:57:02 – 0:57:02] Adam: Thank you.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:03] Adam: Still doing it.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:09] Adam: From the high desert of southern Wisconsin, somewhere near Lake Puckway, probably.
[0:57:09 – 0:57:10] Adam: Most likely.
[0:57:10 – 0:57:11] Adam: Very sandy.
[0:57:11 – 0:57:11] Adam: Very.
[0:57:12 – 0:57:30] Adam: i got five other words for breakfast in german for you as a brief interlude okay i’m sure these aren’t going to be offensive at all to german speakers but let’s hear it took two years of german i’ve been uh number two number one is okay number two morganesson
[0:57:31 – 0:57:31] Adam: Hey.
[0:57:32 – 0:57:33] Adam: So, yeah, pretty close.
[0:57:33 – 0:57:34] Adam: Not too bad.
[0:57:34 – 0:57:35] Adam: Not too shabby.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:36] Adam: Three, Je Morgan.
[0:57:37 – 0:57:38] Adam: Je Morgan.
[0:57:38 – 0:57:40] Adam: Four, Je Morgay.
[0:57:40 – 0:57:41] Erik: Okay.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:43] Adam: Five, Frühstücken.
[0:57:45 Р0:57:48] Adam: And finally, six, Caf̩ Komplett.
[0:57:49 – 0:57:52] Adam: That doesn’t sound, that must be a Frisian dialect of German.
[0:57:53 – 0:57:57] Erik: I was going to say, that one actually kind of sounded nice and not grating on my ears.
[0:57:58 – 0:58:00] Adam: That sounds like it probably had a cross wand on it.
[0:58:00 – 0:58:01] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:58:02 – 0:58:05] Adam: It’s over there in the, you know, that’s Western Germany for sure.
[0:58:05 – 0:58:09] Erik: That one sounds suspiciously close to the French border.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:10] Adam: All right.
[0:58:10 – 0:58:12] Adam: Well, we got to the bottom of that.
[0:58:12 – 0:58:13] Adam: I think those are all fun.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:14] Erik: Hmm.
[0:58:15 – 0:58:16] Adam: Thank you.
[0:58:16 – 0:58:16] Erik: Thank you.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:18] Adam: Thank you, Internet.
[0:58:18 – 0:58:18] Adam: Yes.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:20] Adam: You’re all welcome.
[0:58:20 – 0:58:22] Erik: You’re very welcome, Adam.
[0:58:22 – 0:58:23] Erik: I’m happy to help.
[0:58:24 – 0:58:26] Adam: That’s how the Internet sounds out here in the tumble shed.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:28] Erik: The Polish streaker.
[0:58:28 – 0:58:29] Erik: Wow.
[0:58:30 – 0:58:34] Erik: I once found a folding collapsible survival shovel at a campsite.
[0:58:34 – 0:58:46] Erik: It’s one of those things I probably wouldn’t have considered buying, but now it’s in the pack and it has proven itself to be excellent as a cleanup tool for when the dogs are along.
[0:58:47 – 0:58:48] Erik: Yeah, so you just got a poop scooper.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:49] Erik: Nice.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:53] Erik: Here we go.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:53] Erik: You got a big one.
[0:58:53 – 0:58:58] Erik: We got some bullet points coming up here, but you’re going to start off with Ghost of Ed Abbey.
[0:58:58 – 0:58:59] Adam: Whistle’s wet.
[0:59:00 – 0:59:03] Adam: Ghost of Ed Abbey, great friend of the show.
[0:59:03 – 0:59:04] Adam: Three boxes of wine.
[0:59:05 – 0:59:06] Adam: Interesting finds.
[0:59:06 – 0:59:09] Adam: Old iron remnants from the logging days.
[0:59:09 – 0:59:10] Adam: Yes, the heritage trash.
[0:59:10 – 0:59:11] Adam: Thank you.
[0:59:11 – 0:59:13] Adam: The last bits of a trapper’s cabin.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:13] Adam: Okay.
[0:59:13 – 0:59:14] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:59:14 – 0:59:20] Adam: The foundation outline of another former building and the footings from an old railroad bridge.
[0:59:21 – 0:59:22] Adam: Weird find.
[0:59:22 – 0:59:26] Adam: A hefty stick at a campsite.
[0:59:26 – 0:59:27] Adam: There’s more.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:32] Adam: At a campsite that had rocks pounded into it to make something like a club combo.
[0:59:33 – 0:59:35] Adam: Left it hung in the tree where we found it.
[0:59:35 – 0:59:37] Adam: The lame finds.
[0:59:37 – 0:59:43] Adam: Old rusty lures, including one snagged that was still attached to an old junky reel rod combo.
[0:59:44 – 0:59:49] Adam: Probably should have taken it out, but I’ll admit we took it out to deep water and sunk it.
[0:59:49 – 0:59:50] Adam: Sure.
[0:59:50 – 0:59:51] Erik: Good night, sweet prince.
[0:59:51 – 0:59:52] Erik: Good night, sweet prince.
[0:59:53 – 0:59:54] Adam: The frustrating finds.
[0:59:54 – 1:00:00] Adam: Remnants of filleted fish and elbow macaroni in the water near a campsite.
[1:00:00 – 1:00:01] Adam: Come on, people.
[1:00:01 – 1:00:04] Adam: It’s not that difficult to be responsible.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:05] Adam: Lost.
[1:00:06 – 1:00:06] Adam: Okay.
[1:00:07 – 1:00:19] Adam: Nice rod reel to the bottom of Clearwater and the stress of the everyday corporate grind, even if that always manages to find me again, again in a few days post-BWCA.
[1:00:20 – 1:00:44] Adam: again am i going mad that’s my best quincy endicott i could have possibly done you nailed it it wasn’t it wasn’t great it was a b minus endicott c plus it was fine it was pretty the energy was right and i blame the mosquito i inhaled earlier in the show yeah it’s throwing off my uh my vocal vortex
[1:00:46 – 1:00:53] Erik: Do you remember that, I think it was that fifth or sixth site down in Mountain, the one that has the portage that goes up to Pemmican?
[1:00:54 – 1:00:56] Erik: Remember we found that like- Oh, how can I forget?
[1:00:56 – 1:00:57] Erik: The survival lean-to?
[1:00:57 – 1:00:58] Erik: Yeah.
[1:00:58 – 1:01:02] Erik: I love, it’s not actually even the first one of those I’ve ever found.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:02] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:02 – 1:01:06] Erik: But it was the most memorable and well-maintained.
[1:01:06 – 1:01:07] Erik: I just saw Hummingbird.
[1:01:07 – 1:01:08] Adam: Huh.
[1:01:09 – 1:01:10] Adam: Nice.
[1:01:10 – 1:01:12] Adam: Yeah, no, I remember that.
[1:01:14 – 1:01:15] Adam: That’s a commendable structure.
[1:01:15 – 1:01:18] Adam: I mean, sure, if it’s like…
[1:01:18 – 1:01:21] Adam: If I were to inspect your camp right now, I’d…
[1:01:22 – 1:01:23] Adam: They give you good grades.
[1:01:23 – 1:01:24] Erik: I would have given it a commendable.
[1:01:24 – 1:01:25] Adam: Commendable.
[1:01:25 – 1:01:28] Erik: But, I mean, also it’s leaving a severe trace.
[1:01:28 – 1:01:28] Erik: Like, really?
[1:01:28 – 1:01:29] Erik: What are you doing?
[1:01:29 – 1:01:31] Adam: Yeah, you got to take that down when you’re done with it then.
[1:01:31 – 1:01:37] Erik: Or not even do it because it seemed like it involved, I mean, you’re not Les Stroud out there survivor manning it.
[1:01:37 – 1:01:37] Erik: Yeah.
[1:01:37 – 1:01:42] Erik: You don’t need to cut down full trees and build like a little lean-to slash tent space.
[1:01:42 – 1:01:45] Adam: Yeah, that again seems like a you just having fun.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Yeah.
[1:01:46 – 1:01:46] Adam: Making a fort.
[1:01:47 – 1:01:49] Adam: That’s not really like intended to actually shelter people.
[1:01:49 – 1:01:50] Erik: No, right.
[1:01:51 – 1:01:52] Erik: Nobody was surviving.
[1:01:52 – 1:02:04] Erik: It was just like… Somebody just built that to read stories and… Pretend like it’s fifth grade and we’re at that one camp where you have to go out and in the morning you do that thing where one of you is blindfolded and the other one has to lead you through the woods.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:04] Erik: Yeah.
[1:02:04 – 1:02:10] Erik: And then in the afternoon you have to try to start a fire without matches and build a shelter.
[1:02:11 – 1:02:13] Erik: And then you get to go bog stomping in the evening.
[1:02:14 – 1:02:16] Erik: But in the Boundary Waters, meh.
[1:02:17 – 1:02:18] Erik: I’m going to go ahead and say…
[1:02:19 – 1:02:20] Erik: No bueno.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:23] Adam: We’re both voting against it.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:23] Adam: Thumbs down.
[1:02:23 – 1:02:25] Erik: That’s our fourth language of the night.
[1:02:26 – 1:02:27] Adam: Try tasty ammo.
[1:02:27 – 1:02:28] Adam: That’s five.
[1:02:28 – 1:02:28] Erik: That’s five.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:30] Erik: That’s all we know.
[1:02:30 – 1:02:32] Erik: I don’t have any other ones.
[1:02:33 – 1:02:34] Erik: Bob Ross Paddler.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:53] Erik: I think we, yes, we did hear about this, I believe, in the last couple of weeks in the form of a voicemail, but entered on SAG last week and we decided to make a Thundermug stop at an island site just north of the Narrows before continuing our paddle.
[1:02:54 – 1:02:56] Erik: Shortly thereafter, multiple things were lost.
[1:02:56 – 1:02:57] Erik: Ourselves.
[1:02:58 – 1:03:07] Erik: I was sure glad my bow paddler had brought the compass before we left the outfitter, because it saved our bacon when trying to navigate across sag and other areas for the first time.
[1:03:08 – 1:03:09] Erik: Two, my phone.
[1:03:10 – 1:03:15] Erik: Nearing American Point, I was inspired to snap a photo with all the open water surrounding us, but it wasn’t there.
[1:03:16 – 1:03:19] Erik: Turns out, it had come unclipped from the waterproof lanyard…
[1:03:20 – 1:03:22] Erik: I had used to attach it to my neck.
[1:03:22 – 1:03:29] Erik: I wanted to push on with our paddle but my heroic bow paddler suggested a return to the island site we had earlier visited.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:36] Erik: Since I was certain it wasn’t in the canoe nor in the lake, we made the turn and paddled for over an hour.
[1:03:37 – 1:03:38] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:03:39 – 1:03:39] Erik: I don’t sag.
[1:03:40 – 1:03:41] Erik: I might just abandon that phone.
[1:03:41 – 1:03:44] Adam: What kind of phone was it?
[1:03:45 – 1:03:45] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:45 – 1:03:46] Adam: Nokia?
[1:03:46 – 1:03:49] Adam: I mean, I can take Northern Light pictures with my new iPhone.
[1:03:49 – 1:03:53] Adam: Well, it’s not even new now, but newer.
[1:03:54 – 1:03:57] Adam: That one I’d go back for, but an old Samsung or something?
[1:03:57 – 1:03:57] Adam: Nah.
[1:03:57 – 1:03:58] Erik: Yeah.
[1:03:58 – 1:04:01] Erik: They paddled back and found the phone right away.
[1:04:01 – 1:04:06] Erik: Also, paddling back to American Point went a lot better the second time around since we didn’t get lost.
[1:04:07 – 1:04:07] Erik: Well, that’s helpful.
[1:04:08 – 1:04:09] Erik: Yeah, that’s always nice.
[1:04:09 – 1:04:18] Erik: Between these two lost events, we spent a long time on SAG, but it made for an unforgettable start to our time in the B-Dub.
[1:04:18 – 1:04:19] Adam: I remember this story, yeah.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:21] Adam: Ended up being a little zapping.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:26] Erik: We got a timeout called.
[1:04:26 – 1:04:29] Adam: Gotta go check out this hummingbird.
[1:04:29 – 1:04:31] Erik: Yeah, we’re gonna go check out the hummingbird, both of us.
[1:04:33 – 1:04:35] Erik: Tumblehomecast at gmail.com.
[1:04:35 – 1:04:38] Erik: When was President McKinley in office?
[1:04:39 – 1:04:40] Erik: No Googling.
[1:04:40 – 1:04:42] Erik: Closest gets a prize.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:46] Adam: I’m going to go with like 1872.
[1:04:46 – 1:04:46] Adam: Okay.
[1:04:46 – 1:04:46] Adam: 1872.
[1:04:46 – 1:04:47] Adam: I feel like that’s Lincoln.
[1:04:47 – 1:04:48] Adam: Lincoln.
[1:04:51 – 1:05:02] Erik: no lincoln was dead by 72 dead next up on the show you heard it here first ladies and gentlemen shocking news cue the uh shoken farewell
[1:05:07 – 1:05:13] Adam: Next up on the show, AmateurCampere, 28 days ago, two boxes of wine.
[1:05:13 – 1:05:17] Adam: I always try to get my wife and kids some small gifts for my trips.
[1:05:17 – 1:05:22] Adam: Usually it’s like a shirt or a toy from a gift shop, but last year on my Kawishui Triangle trip,
[1:05:22 – 1:05:24] Adam: I found my gifts with them out in the park.
[1:05:25 – 1:05:34] Adam: For my three-year-old son, I found a lizard monster toy on a portage that cleaned up nicely and was actually fastened to the canoe for most of the trip in honor of Gordy.
[1:05:34 – 1:05:35] Adam: Ooh.
[1:05:36 – 1:05:37] Adam: Side question.
[1:05:37 – 1:05:38] Adam: Name?
[1:05:38 – 1:05:39] Adam: Did you name the lizard?
[1:05:40 – 1:05:40] Adam: It’s got to have a name.
[1:05:41 – 1:05:41] Adam: I hope so.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:47] Adam: For my wife, I found a great pair of women’s athletic shorts that actually fit her well.
[1:05:47 – 1:05:51] Adam: However, she refuses to wear them because they gross her out, which makes me sad.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:54] Erik: Question of the week next week.
[1:05:54 – 1:05:56] Erik: Would you wear the shorts?
[1:05:56 – 1:05:57] Erik: Would you wear the shorts?
[1:05:57 – 1:05:57] Erik: Shorts?
[1:05:57 – 1:06:01] Adam: I’d much rather eat a bagel I found than wear a pair of shorts I found, for sure.
[1:06:02 – 1:06:03] Erik: For my one-year-old…
[1:06:03 – 1:06:05] Erik: It depends on how tight-fitting they are.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:07] Adam: I don’t think it does.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:09] Adam: I don’t think it matters.
[1:06:09 – 1:06:12] Adam: I mean, I wouldn’t want to wear a super loose short, so that would also rule it out.
[1:06:12 – 1:06:16] Adam: And yeah, if it’s too tight, it definitely makes me not want to wear them anymore.
[1:06:16 – 1:06:21] Erik: Well, for sure, the too tight is what I was getting at, but if they were a nice pair of gym shorts, eh.
[1:06:21 – 1:06:26] Adam: I tend to like the tighter short, though, so my short shorts, they’re quite tight.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:33] Adam: For my one-year-old daughter, she kind of got the short end of the stick and had to settle for lures and assorted fishing tackle I hauled out.
[1:06:34 – 1:06:35] Adam: She seemed happy enough, though.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:43] Adam: Also, last year on a different trip, I found a large, rusted-out cooking pot submerged on the shoreline of a Nina Moose campsite.
[1:06:43 – 1:06:50] Adam: It was too big and rusty to pack, so I actually put it back in the water and planned to get it the next time I’m up that way if it’s still there.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:56] Adam: Was that the right move, or should I have left it in camp where someone else might be able to pack it out?
[1:06:57 – 1:06:59] Adam: Oh, a question to end the comment.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:00] Adam: Thank you.
[1:07:02 – 1:07:03] Adam: I wouldn’t have packed it.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:04] Adam: But I don’t know.
[1:07:04 – 1:07:07] Erik: If I was heading in, definitely not would have packed it.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:08] Erik: If it was my last day, I would have.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:12] Erik: And I think it sounds like this person would have also packed it out if it was the last day.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:13] Adam: Right, they were going the wrong way.
[1:07:13 – 1:07:15] Adam: Not taking that with me to lack of Troy.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:16] Erik: No.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:18] Adam: So I don’t know.
[1:07:18 – 1:07:19] Adam: I’m sure somebody else found it and probably…
[1:07:20 – 1:07:21] Adam: That’s not heritage trash.
[1:07:21 – 1:07:28] Adam: I wonder if that just fell out of the… slid down off the rock or something.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:30] Adam: Unintentional trashing.
[1:07:30 – 1:07:30] Erik: Yeah.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:32] Adam: Who knows the story behind that one?
[1:07:32 – 1:07:34] Adam: Anybody out there know what happened there?
[1:07:34 – 1:07:37] Adam: Next up on the show, cabin after.
[1:07:37 – 1:07:39] Adam: Friend of the show, two box of wine.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:42] Adam: On all separate trips…
[1:07:42 – 1:07:44] Adam: Okay, I got to redo that.
[1:07:44 – 1:07:45] Adam: I didn’t quite give it the right inflection.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:48] Adam: All on separate trips…
[1:07:49 – 1:07:53] Adam: A diaper, a full roll of duct tape, and a Go-Girl.
[1:07:54 – 1:07:55] Adam: One, I hauled out.
[1:07:55 – 1:07:56] Adam: Two, I did not.
[1:07:57 – 1:07:58] Adam: End of comment.
[1:07:59 – 1:08:00] Erik: End of story.
[1:08:00 – 1:08:01] Adam: End of story.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:03] Adam: So that’s the end of that then.
[1:08:04 – 1:08:12] Erik: I found a whole bag of diapers one time up on a previously named lake that is now Blackwater in Quetico.
[1:08:12 – 1:08:14] Adam: A whole garbage bag full of diapers.
[1:08:15 – 1:08:16] Adam: Used or fresh?
[1:08:19 – 1:08:20] Erik: The former.
[1:08:22 – 1:08:23] Erik: Most definitely used.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:24] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:08:25 – 1:08:35] Erik: And also an apparatus under a rock that is used to keep one from having animals that create diapers was found on that campsite as well.
[1:08:35 – 1:08:36] Adam: Oh, no.
[1:08:36 – 1:08:39] Adam: That was a nasty rock overturning, I can assure you.
[1:08:40 – 1:08:40] Erik: No.
[1:08:41 – 1:08:42] Erik: No, good at all.
[1:08:43 – 1:08:44] Adam: I don’t like that.
[1:08:44 – 1:08:45] Adam: I don’t like to see that anywhere.
[1:08:45 – 1:08:46] Erik: Definitely not in the woods.
[1:08:48 – 1:08:50] Adam: All right, Erica.
[1:08:50 – 1:08:51] Erik: Erica?
[1:08:51 – 1:08:54] Erik: Erica, I’m going to read this.
[1:08:54 – 1:09:00] Adam: I got one more big one here, and then I think there’s a couple left that I think we’ll turn it back to you.
[1:09:00 – 1:09:01] Adam: Okay.
[1:09:01 – 1:09:06] Adam: Next up on the show, Meps in Maps, 22 Days Ago, Two Boxes of Wine.
[1:09:07 – 1:09:13] Adam: On Swan, at the bad site that is small and flat, there are some old legacy garbage items.
[1:09:14 – 1:09:14] Adam: Oh, there we go.
[1:09:14 – 1:09:15] Adam: That’s another way.
[1:09:15 – 1:09:17] Erik: Heritage, legacy.
[1:09:18 – 1:09:19] Adam: What’s better, legacy or heritage?
[1:09:20 – 1:09:21] Erik: I think they’re both just as good.
[1:09:21 – 1:09:22] Erik: That’s a horse apiece.
[1:09:24 – 1:09:27] Adam: Um, maybe Bobby and Rex packed most of it out.
[1:09:27 – 1:09:34] Adam: These are spikes, nails, tin cans with bottom panels cut for 1920s era stove, twig stoves.
[1:09:34 – 1:09:35] Adam: Pretty cool garbage.
[1:09:35 – 1:09:36] Adam: All right.
[1:09:36 – 1:09:47] Adam: The area was once a logging camp for the Alger Smith operations, which began tree stealing quote in the 1898 and wiped out most of the version timber.
[1:09:47 – 1:09:49] Adam: I leave that legacy stuff.
[1:09:49 – 1:09:51] Adam: I consider it legacy if it predates me.
[1:09:51 – 1:09:52] Adam: Okay.
[1:09:52 – 1:09:53] Adam: There you go.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:54] Adam: In this case, that’s 1966.
[1:09:55 – 1:09:55] Adam: Okay.
[1:09:56 – 1:10:01] Adam: So definitely a longer timeframe than our 20-year window we were looking at.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:03] Erik: Yeah, that predates me.
[1:10:03 – 1:10:03] Erik: I’m 20.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:04] Adam: Ha ha.
[1:10:04 – 1:10:05] Adam: Ha ha.
[1:10:21 – 1:10:23] Adam: Done with your entire cabin?
[1:10:23 – 1:10:26] Adam: Just let it sit there and rot, including your cast iron pan.
[1:10:26 – 1:10:28] Adam: Nature will provide a garbage can.
[1:10:29 – 1:10:33] Adam: I do try and take the leech buckets, margarine tubs, and Labatt’s blues.
[1:10:34 – 1:10:41] Adam: The friends of Wabakimi raised several thousand dollars to cut up, fly out, and recycle some of the garbage on the larger lakes.
[1:10:42 – 1:10:54] Adam: Another thing about that place, the bidet and snozzle setup looks pretty great after seeing the logging operations tearing down virgin 100-year-old spruce for pulp to wipe our North American butts.
[1:10:57 – 1:11:05] Adam: Have not seen anything weirder than the usual stuff and associated toilet paper left behind by Bobby Rex and Cousin Alice.
[1:11:05 – 1:11:06] Adam: The end.
[1:11:06 – 1:11:07] Erik: Cousin Alice.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:08] Adam: There you go.
[1:11:09 – 1:11:10] Adam: Alice is a pretty good name.
[1:11:10 – 1:11:11] Adam: Yeah.
[1:11:11 – 1:11:12] Erik: It’s not cute, though.
[1:11:12 – 1:11:14] Erik: It’s not that cute, really, no.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:18] Erik: What about Charlie?
[1:11:19 – 1:11:25] Adam: If you say it with a British accent, like you’re Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that’s kind of a cute cousin.
[1:11:26 – 1:11:26] Erik: Sure.
[1:11:27 – 1:11:28] Erik: He’s out there working on the diorama.
[1:11:28 – 1:11:29] Adam: He’s making the diorama.
[1:11:29 – 1:11:31] Adam: Charlie made a little play.
[1:11:31 – 1:11:32] Adam: He’s just the future.
[1:11:32 – 1:11:33] Adam: Creative Charlie.
[1:11:33 – 1:11:38] Erik: The future version of the my family’s been here a long time guy.
[1:11:39 – 1:11:40] Erik: LVNV1212.
[1:11:44 – 1:11:44] Erik: 1212.
[1:11:45 – 1:11:52] Erik: Two years ago, while camping on Crocodile, my iPhone dropped out of my pocket, and despite looking, I couldn’t find it.
[1:11:52 – 1:11:55] Erik: So, when I got home, I locked it.
[1:11:56 – 1:11:57] Erik: I think the number is still displayed.
[1:11:58 – 1:12:00] Erik: Ordered a new one, and it came in like two days.
[1:12:01 – 1:12:03] Erik: Two days after that, I get a phone call.
[1:12:03 – 1:12:04] Erik: Did you lose a phone?
[1:12:05 – 1:12:08] Erik: Yep, I did, and the person sent it back to me.
[1:12:08 – 1:12:10] Erik: They found it while searching for wood.
[1:12:11 – 1:12:14] Erik: This miracle phone is now in possession of my son-in-law.
[1:12:14 – 1:12:21] Erik: I kept the new one and I bought the Tile product where you can ring the phone from the Tile.
[1:12:23 – 1:12:23] Erik: Hmm.
[1:12:23 – 1:12:24] Erik: What’s that?
[1:12:24 – 1:12:25] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:12:25 – 1:12:27] Adam: I don’t know what any of those words mean.
[1:12:27 – 1:12:29] Adam: Some sort of new tracking device.
[1:12:30 – 1:12:32] Erik: Well, that’s nifty.
[1:12:32 – 1:12:33] Erik: That’s quite nifty.
[1:12:33 – 1:12:36] Erik: That’s crazy that you just drop it and then immediately lose it.
[1:12:36 – 1:12:37] Adam: I’ve had that happen.
[1:12:38 – 1:12:39] Adam: Where could it have gone?
[1:12:39 – 1:12:40] Erik: Where could it have gone?
[1:12:40 – 1:12:41] Adam: Drives you crazy.
[1:12:43 – 1:12:44] Erik: If you let it.
[1:12:44 – 1:12:44] Erik: If you let it.
[1:12:44 – 1:12:45] Erik: Just forget about it.
[1:12:46 – 1:12:48] Erik: Just get the jitterbug and be done with it.
[1:12:49 – 1:12:51] Erik: Gray Panther 8.
[1:12:51 – 1:12:54] Erik: Long time, long time.
[1:12:55 – 1:12:57] Erik: Lots of old tobacco tins.
[1:12:58 – 1:13:03] Erik: Camped on Caribou and found the remains of a logging camp or something of significant structure.
[1:13:03 – 1:13:05] Erik: We found a barrel stove at the same site.
[1:13:06 – 1:13:11] Erik: I’ve also run into a few trees that had fruited out with fishing lures.
[1:13:12 – 1:13:13] Adam: Fruited with a lure.
[1:13:14 – 1:13:14] Adam: Yep.
[1:13:15 – 1:13:17] Adam: That’s a nice turn of phrase.
[1:13:17 – 1:13:20] Erik: Fluted and fruited with lure.
[1:13:22 – 1:13:29] Erik: Finishing it up here with, I believe, a first-time commenter, MasterFabricator84, problem at hand.
[1:13:32 – 1:13:38] Erik: Upon pulling up into a campsite on Knife Lake, I discovered some presumably female left…
[1:13:40 – 1:13:41] Erik: All right.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:42] Erik: Problematic.
[1:13:42 – 1:13:44] Erik: I don’t like the way this is going.
[1:13:44 – 1:13:48] Erik: Upon pulling up into a campsite on Knife Lake, I discovered some presumably…
[1:13:50 – 1:13:53] Erik: I’m still having a hard time with the tenses here.
[1:13:54 – 1:13:55] Erik: More than what is coming.
[1:13:57 – 1:14:08] Erik: Upon pulling up into a campsite on Knife Lake, I discovered what was presumably left by a female small vibrator on a rock facing the south.
[1:14:09 – 1:14:10] Erik: This was over five years ago.
[1:14:11 – 1:14:20] Erik: had a real long internal struggle, and finally donning a gallon Ziploc from my fresh onions on my hand, picked it up and packed it out.
[1:14:20 – 1:14:26] Erik: After carrying it for four more days… Man, I just…
[1:14:26 – 1:14:27] Erik: Were the batteries still fresh?
[1:14:27 – 1:14:30] Adam: I don’t know if you tested it.
[1:14:30 – 1:14:32] Adam: This is a whole other kind of question.
[1:14:33 – 1:14:33] Adam: Holy moly.
[1:14:33 – 1:14:36] Adam: Well… Continue?
[1:14:37 – 1:14:38] Adam: Is that the end of the comment?
[1:14:38 – 1:14:43] Erik: The final sentence is, this is Brackets Sick.
[1:14:43 – 1:14:47] Erik: Seeing the damn thing every time I made and broke camp was disgusting.
[1:14:48 – 1:14:49] Erik: Why did you have to see it?
[1:14:50 – 1:14:50] Adam: Wow.
[1:14:51 – 1:14:52] Adam: And why did you have to see it?
[1:14:52 – 1:14:53] Adam: Again, that’s my biggest.
[1:14:53 – 1:14:54] Adam: Did you pack it on the top of the pack?
[1:14:55 – 1:14:55] Adam: Yeah.
[1:14:55 – 1:14:57] Erik: Bury it or don’t.
[1:14:58 – 1:15:00] Erik: Pour a bunch of other garbage on top of it.
[1:15:01 – 1:15:02] Erik: I mean, it is gross.
[1:15:03 – 1:15:05] Erik: Somebody else’s, nah.
[1:15:05 – 1:15:11] Erik: I have no issues or complaints with anybody owning or using one, but leaving one behind.
[1:15:12 – 1:15:12] Erik: Yeah.
[1:15:13 – 1:15:13] Adam: Yeah.
[1:15:14 – 1:15:14] Adam: I remember one time.
[1:15:14 – 1:15:16] Adam: I assume that was a forgotten item.
[1:15:17 – 1:15:18] Adam: Hey.
[1:15:18 – 1:15:18] Adam: Probably disappointing.
[1:15:18 – 1:15:19] Erik: How do you leave something like that?
[1:15:21 – 1:15:22] Adam: Too relaxed.
[1:15:22 – 1:15:28] Erik: Or maybe it was some kind of a, you never know with fishing.
[1:15:28 – 1:15:31] Erik: Maybe it was like a minnow loosening tool.
[1:15:34 – 1:15:37] Erik: Got to get those minnows nice and loosened up or like a leech warmer.
[1:15:42 – 1:15:51] Erik: I remember one time at Clearwater, the staff found one of those under a bed and they had to come and tell us.
[1:15:53 – 1:16:06] Erik: And I think I’m probably one of the only people, I don’t know, you can never say for sure, but I’m probably in the vast minority of someone who has swept one of those into a dustpan and then into the trash.
[1:16:08 – 1:16:08] Adam: Uh-huh.
[1:16:09 – 1:16:12] Adam: You could have donated it to the recycling center.
[1:16:12 – 1:16:14] Adam: To the recycling center.
[1:16:15 – 1:16:18] Adam: Yeah, probably not something somebody wants to buy secondhand.
[1:16:19 – 1:16:28] Erik: No, but there is very specific things at the recycling center slash secondhand and or thrift shop that you wouldn’t think would be sold secondhand either.
[1:16:29 – 1:16:30] Adam: Too many people on this planet.
[1:16:31 – 1:16:33] Adam: How many sex toys do you think are in the Boundary Waters?
[1:16:34 – 1:16:35] Adam: Right now?
[1:16:35 – 1:16:35] Adam: Yeah, right now.
[1:16:36 – 1:16:36] Adam: Under control?
[1:16:36 – 1:16:36] Erik: Over under?
[1:16:37 – 1:16:38] Erik: Of an owner?
[1:16:38 – 1:16:39] Erik: Or just loose and lost?
[1:16:40 – 1:16:43] Adam: Either in somebody’s pack or just laying on a rock somewhere.
[1:16:43 – 1:16:44] Adam: Forgotten.
[1:16:45 – 1:16:48] Adam: I’d say over under in the middle of summer, probably hundreds.
[1:16:49 – 1:16:49] Adam: How many people?
[1:16:49 – 1:16:51] Erik: I was going to say a couple dozen.
[1:16:51 – 1:16:52] Adam: A couple dozen?
[1:16:52 – 1:16:53] Adam: How many people are in the Boundary Waters right now?
[1:16:54 – 1:16:55] Adam: I don’t know, a couple dozen.
[1:16:56 – 1:16:56] Adam: That’s it?
[1:16:56 – 1:16:57] Erik: Okay, I’m probably high then.
[1:16:58 – 1:17:00] Erik: Everybody’s packing vibrators.
[1:17:00 – 1:17:00] Adam: There’s a couple.
[1:17:01 – 1:17:06] Adam: I mean, I’ve never brought a vibrator on a trip, but maybe we should.
[1:17:07 – 1:17:10] Adam: Presumably female left.
[1:17:10 – 1:17:11] Adam: I wouldn’t presume anything.
[1:17:13 – 1:17:13] Adam: Yeah, who knows?
[1:17:14 – 1:17:15] Adam: Keep an open mind.
[1:17:15 – 1:17:16] Adam: Who’s the commenter?
[1:17:16 – 1:17:18] Erik: Master fabricator.
[1:17:18 – 1:17:19] Adam: Master fabricator.
[1:17:20 – 1:17:21] Adam: Keep an open mind.
[1:17:22 – 1:17:22] Adam: Who knows?
[1:17:23 – 1:17:23] Adam: I don’t know.
[1:17:23 – 1:17:26] Erik: I feel like the comment is leaving it open, presumably.
[1:17:26 – 1:17:29] Adam: Could have done the Ed Abbey and just paddled it to deep water and sunk it.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:30] Erik: Yeah.
[1:17:30 – 1:17:31] Adam: Turn it on.
[1:17:31 – 1:17:31] Erik: Turn it on.
[1:17:31 – 1:17:33] Adam: Turn it on and sink it.
[1:17:33 – 1:17:35] Adam: Then all of a sudden all sorts of minnows start coming up.
[1:17:36 – 1:17:37] Adam: You’d drum up a bunch of burbot.
[1:17:37 – 1:17:38] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:39 – 1:17:40] Adam: That’s one way to do it.
[1:17:40 – 1:17:40] Adam: Yeah.
[1:17:41 – 1:17:42] Erik: Yeah, I mean, who knows?
[1:17:42 – 1:17:48] Erik: Like I say, it could have been some esoteric and otherwise pointless fishing device.
[1:17:50 – 1:17:59] Erik: But let’s just go ahead and call it what it is, and that is a trace left behind physically, and it sounds like mentally.
[1:18:00 – 1:18:01] Erik: Emotionally, too.
[1:18:01 – 1:18:01] Erik: And emotionally.
[1:18:02 – 1:18:03] Erik: All right.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:06] Erik: That’s it.
[1:18:06 – 1:18:07] Erik: There’s nothing else to read.
[1:18:08 – 1:18:08] Adam: All right.
[1:18:08 – 1:18:09] Adam: Well, that’s the end of the episode then.
[1:18:09 – 1:18:10] Erik: Okay.
[1:18:11 – 1:18:17] Adam: Thank you for the fabulous ales with the fine honey, solar-powered honey.
[1:18:18 – 1:18:18] Adam: Love it, J-Dat.

[1:18:50 – 1:18:53] Adam: We’re going to have to go do a lap, I think, and lose some of these bugs.
[1:18:54 – 1:18:54] Adam: Yeah.
[1:18:54 – 1:18:57] Adam: Maybe close the door and put on some music.
[1:18:57 – 1:19:07] Erik: Trying to find some candles and or some hard chemicals to spray everywhere.
[1:19:07 – 1:19:10] Adam: I got to find some deet for sure for the second half of this evening.

[1:19:25 – 1:19:25] Adam: Thank you very much.
[1:19:26 – 1:19:26] Adam: Um,
[1:19:27 – 1:19:32] Adam: Didn’t really get to talk a whole lot about the subreddit tonight other than, of course, the thread we were focused on.
[1:19:32 – 1:19:34] Adam: But there’s some other good stuff on there.
[1:19:34 – 1:19:39] Adam: And being a week behind, I feel like we got extra stuff that we haven’t even gotten to.
[1:19:39 – 1:19:43] Adam: So, you know, it’s prime time, middle of summer season at this point.
[1:19:43 – 1:19:48] Adam: We’re past the solstice, and the grass is waist high at best.
[1:19:49 – 1:19:49] Adam: At worst?
[1:19:49 – 1:19:50] Adam: At best.
[1:19:50 – 1:19:51] Adam: We love it.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:51] Adam: At best.
[1:19:51 – 1:19:52] Adam: We love it.
[1:19:52 – 1:19:54] Adam: It’s green and lush, and we love you all.
[1:19:54 – 1:19:55] Adam: Thanks for being here.
[1:19:56 – 1:20:04] Adam: As always, every day is precious, and life is a miracle, and everybody in this country is capable of making their own choices.
[1:20:04 – 1:20:06] Adam: We don’t need any help making choices.
[1:20:08 – 1:20:10] Adam: So, for Tumble Home, arrivederci.
[1:20:11 – 1:20:12] Adam: Good night.
[1:20:12 – 1:20:13] Erik: Pack out your vibrators.
[1:20:34 – 1:20:34] SPEAKER_03: Stray.
