[0:01:24 – 0:01:25] CheapDancer: We can only talk one at a time.
[0:01:28 – 0:01:33] CheapDancer: Here we are in the hot tent, eating biters and drinking beers.
[0:01:33 – 0:01:38] CheapDancer: I mean, it’s like a flipping old Milwaukee commercial in here.
[0:01:43 – 0:01:44] Admiral Geary: Oh, yeah.
[0:01:45 – 0:01:46] Admiral Geary: Cheers, brother dancer.

[0:01:49 – 0:01:50] Admiral Geary: Cheers, Mr. Gary.
[0:01:54 – 0:01:55] UNKNOWN: Oh, yeah.
[0:01:57 – 0:01:58] Admiral Geary: Insight Brewing.
[0:01:59 – 0:02:00] Admiral Geary: What do you got?
[0:02:00 – 0:02:03] Admiral Geary: I have the Trollway American IPA.
[0:02:04 – 0:02:07] Admiral Geary: And I have the Drift West Coast.
[0:02:08 – 0:02:17] Admiral Geary: I’m camped in my spot next to the stove and Mr. Cheap Dancer is camped in the ice rink.
[0:02:19 – 0:02:20] Admiral Geary: It’s a little bit of ice in the tent.
[0:02:22 – 0:02:23] Admiral Geary: We’re having a good day today.
[0:02:24 – 0:02:31] Admiral Geary: We cooked up some pastries, some Pillsbury croissants with jam in the middle.
[0:02:32 – 0:02:35] Admiral Geary: Cooked them next to the wood stove and walked around a bunch today.
[0:02:35 – 0:02:38] Admiral Geary: A lot of walking.
[0:02:39 – 0:02:44] CheapDancer: Maybe we should get a skidoo or something around here.
[0:02:52 – 0:02:54] CheapDancer: Okay, greetings from the tent, temple homies.
[0:02:56 – 0:03:00] CheapDancer: Where Admiral Gary and I, I’m Chief Dancer, we’re here in the hot tent.
[0:03:01 – 0:03:02] CheapDancer: And it’s very hot in here.
[0:03:02 – 0:03:06] CheapDancer: We’ve really stoked the fires very well here.
[0:03:07 – 0:03:08] CheapDancer: But that’s because we’re cooking.
[0:03:09 – 0:03:10] CheapDancer: Cooking a little special dinner here.
[0:03:11 – 0:03:12] CheapDancer: We call this…
[0:03:13 – 0:03:14] CheapDancer: Puppy Prontos.
[0:03:14 – 0:03:17] CheapDancer: These are mini corn dogs on the cast iron.
[0:03:18 – 0:03:35] CheapDancer: And we have, you know, somehow, neither of us remembered to bring any condiments for some reason, but we were able to obtain the ultimate condiment, and that is turkey gravy from the co-op in Grand Marais.
[0:03:36 – 0:03:36] CheapDancer: Thank you, Tick Check.
[0:03:37 – 0:03:39] CheapDancer: And here we go.
[0:03:39 – 0:03:40] CheapDancer: We’re going to open it up.
[0:03:41 – 0:04:04] CheapDancer: it’s in this sort of cardboard container like uh elementary school milk and uh squeeze pour corners together okay and now what lift do you know how this works no gary got no idea do not microwave it says
[0:04:06 – 0:04:07] CheapDancer: Squeeze.
[0:04:08 – 0:04:11] CheapDancer: You know how hard it is to open those milk containers in school, right?
[0:04:11 – 0:04:13] CheapDancer: I mean, I’m dealing with the same thing here.
[0:04:13 – 0:04:20] Admiral Geary: You know, I don’t think Eric and Adam ever had issues like this at the original Pronto Pup Lodge.
[0:04:20 – 0:04:22] Admiral Geary: Two miles north of here.
[0:04:22 – 0:04:25] CheapDancer: I think that was a no gravy Pronto Pup.
[0:04:26 – 0:04:29] CheapDancer: This is going to be a very saturated…
[0:04:31 – 0:04:32] CheapDancer: If I ever get this thing open.
[0:04:32 – 0:04:34] CheapDancer: I think it’s time to use the knife.
[0:04:34 – 0:04:35] Admiral Geary: Knife, knife.
[0:04:38 – 0:04:39] CheapDancer: Oh yeah, that was much better.
[0:04:40 – 0:04:43] CheapDancer: Okay, so any other tumble homies that go get the free gravy.
[0:04:44 – 0:04:46] CheapDancer: Don’t bother trying to open it.
[0:04:46 – 0:04:48] CheapDancer: Don’t use the instructions on the box.
[0:04:49 – 0:04:51] CheapDancer: Just use a good sharp camp knife.
[0:04:52 – 0:04:54] CheapDancer: And saw that thing off the top.
[0:04:57 – 0:04:58] CheapDancer: Oh yeah, this is…
[0:04:59 – 0:05:00] CheapDancer: Some good looking gravy.
[0:05:00 – 0:05:01] CheapDancer: Okay, Gary.
[0:05:03 – 0:05:04] CheapDancer: Give it a dip.
[0:05:04 – 0:05:05] Admiral Geary: I’m dipping it.
[0:05:07 – 0:05:09] CheapDancer: Corn puppy in the gravy.
[0:05:10 – 0:05:13] Admiral Geary: That is certainly a mini corn dog in gravy.
[0:05:14 – 0:05:15] Admiral Geary: He looks very satisfied.
[0:05:16 – 0:05:23] CheapDancer: Okay, we’re going to eat all these corn puppies, and then whatever gravy’s left at the end, we’re just going to chug.
[0:05:24 – 0:05:24] CheapDancer: Am I right?
[0:05:25 – 0:05:25] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:05:25 – 0:05:28] CheapDancer: Two dancers chugging two pints of gravy.
[0:05:28 – 0:05:32] CheapDancer: We made a blood pact earlier that we would chug whatever’s left over.
[0:05:32 – 0:05:34] Admiral Geary: That’s how Hopeland works.
[0:05:34 – 0:05:36] CheapDancer: So cheers, tumble homies.
[0:05:36 – 0:05:36] CheapDancer: Cheers.
[0:05:37 – 0:05:40] CheapDancer: And we will catch you on the flip side.
[0:05:46 – 0:05:48] CheapDancer: Okay, back with you, tumble homies.
[0:05:48 – 0:05:52] CheapDancer: Here we are in, I know you probably are hearing a bit of an echo.
[0:05:52 – 0:05:55] CheapDancer: But no, we are not in a brown volcano.
[0:05:56 – 0:05:57] CheapDancer: Coming to you live from Studio S.
[0:05:58 – 0:06:00] Admiral Geary: That’s studio box.
[0:06:00 – 0:06:01] Admiral Geary: No, no.
[0:06:01 – 0:06:05] Admiral Geary: Okay, that might need a loon bleep.
[0:06:05 – 0:06:05] Admiral Geary: Loon bleep.
[0:06:07 – 0:06:08] Admiral Geary: Studio Subaru.
[0:06:08 – 0:06:09] CheapDancer: Studio Subaru.
[0:06:09 – 0:06:15] CheapDancer: We are back to the car after a long haul with a heavy toboggan.
[0:06:16 – 0:06:21] CheapDancer: But good thing Admiral Gary here is just a maniac with the tow rope.
[0:06:21 – 0:06:24] CheapDancer: So I was pretty much just having a garden walk behind him.
[0:06:24 – 0:06:27] CheapDancer: Um, but, uh, the trip’s over.
[0:06:28 – 0:06:31] CheapDancer: Um, any, uh, you want to do a little recap of what happened?
[0:06:32 – 0:06:32] Admiral Geary: Yeah.
[0:06:33 – 0:06:36] Admiral Geary: Um, so we came in, um, this is Admiral Geary.
[0:06:37 – 0:06:37] Admiral Geary: We.
[0:06:39 – 0:06:42] Admiral Geary: I have a bit of land up in Hoveland.
[0:06:42 – 0:06:48] Admiral Geary: We camped on my deck with a teepee hot tent.
[0:06:48 – 0:06:52] Admiral Geary: We were about maybe two miles south of the Boundary Waters.
[0:06:52 – 0:06:55] Admiral Geary: Pine Lake would be kind of the closest lake to where we are.
[0:06:55 – 0:07:07] Admiral Geary: Yeah, we cooked, hiked around a bunch, visited some of the snowmobile trails that Adam’s been talking about.
[0:07:08 – 0:07:15] CheapDancer: Yeah, and there was a bit of tumble hijinks, I guess you would call them.
[0:07:16 – 0:07:18] CheapDancer: We raised the Gordie flag the first night.
[0:07:19 – 0:07:20] CheapDancer: That was epic.
[0:07:21 – 0:07:23] CheapDancer: And Gordie flew over the camp the entire time.
[0:07:24 – 0:07:34] CheapDancer: And we did have biters on the wood stove, which had quite a bit of revenge built in for the next day.
[0:07:35 – 0:07:39] CheapDancer: So the next day we did the baby corn, baby.
[0:07:39 – 0:07:40] CheapDancer: Corn puppies.
[0:07:40 – 0:07:40] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:07:40 – 0:07:41] Admiral Geary: Corn dog puppies.
[0:07:41 – 0:07:42] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:07:44 – 0:07:45] Admiral Geary: Pronto puppies.
[0:07:45 – 0:07:47] CheapDancer: With the gravy dippers.
[0:07:47 – 0:07:49] CheapDancer: So that was fantastic.
[0:07:50 – 0:07:53] CheapDancer: And after I guzzled the gravy, it was pretty much lights out after that.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:54] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:07:54 – 0:07:55] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:07:55 – 0:07:58] CheapDancer: And then the next morning, here we are walking out.
[0:07:58 – 0:08:00] CheapDancer: It was just a two night trip.
[0:08:00 – 0:08:00] CheapDancer: It was very fun.
[0:08:01 – 0:08:10] CheapDancer: And we went from digital meme group to we became analog family here.
[0:08:10 – 0:08:10] CheapDancer: It was great.
[0:08:11 – 0:08:11] CheapDancer: Yeah.
[0:08:12 – 0:08:12] CheapDancer: Good times.
[0:08:13 – 0:08:14] CheapDancer: You got any last words?
[0:08:14 – 0:08:25] Admiral Geary: Yeah, I think I said it in my question of the year response possibly, but I’m immensely grateful to Eric and Adam for…
[0:08:25 – 0:08:32] Admiral Geary: you know, somehow turning this whole thing into a place where people are connecting in the real world.
[0:08:33 – 0:08:35] Admiral Geary: Any last words, Chief Dancer?
[0:08:36 – 0:08:38] CheapDancer: Yeah, should we turn this microphone on now and do it for real?
[0:08:40 – 0:08:41] Admiral Geary: It is on.
[0:08:43 – 0:09:00] CheapDancer: it’s recording oh good good good okay cheap dancer here we’re gonna sign off um we probably should have had some clever sign off thing but maybe we’ll just go with steak yeah i screwed it up stay classy tumble home niche right yeah

[0:09:24 – 0:09:24] Adam: Good evening.
[0:09:25 – 0:09:37] Adam: And thank you to Admiral Geary and Cheap Dancer live in the field to open episode 279 of Tomahome, a proud independent podcast and community.
[0:09:39 – 0:09:47] Adam: And thank you for the live report and the detailed description of the corn pups.
[0:09:47 – 0:09:48] Adam: Corn puppies.
[0:09:49 – 0:09:52] Adam: Dipped into a pool of gravy.
[0:09:52 – 0:09:53] Adam: Swimming in gravy.
[0:09:54 – 0:09:58] Adam: And thanks for coming to get that gravy and featuring it so nicely.
[0:09:59 – 0:10:01] Adam: Get your gravy knife out.
[0:10:01 – 0:10:03] Adam: Disregard the instructions, Eric.
[0:10:03 – 0:10:06] Adam: Get the gravy knife out and just cut the top right off.
[0:10:06 – 0:10:07] Erik: Bring your own gravy knife.
[0:10:07 – 0:10:09] Erik: Those gravies are still available then?
[0:10:10 – 0:10:12] Adam: There’s a whole pallet of them still in back.
[0:10:13 – 0:10:14] Adam: They only grabbed two.
[0:10:14 – 0:10:16] Adam: They should have probably taken a case each.
[0:10:17 – 0:10:20] Adam: So there’s plenty of gravy to go around if anybody out there is interested.
[0:10:21 – 0:10:23] Adam: And you can dip whatever you want in there.
[0:10:24 – 0:10:25] Adam: No rules.
[0:10:25 – 0:10:25] Adam: No, yeah.
[0:10:25 – 0:10:26] Erik: No judgments.
[0:10:26 – 0:10:29] Erik: Especially if you cut the entire top off.
[0:10:29 – 0:10:31] Adam: If you use a gravy knife, you can do whatever you want.
[0:10:31 – 0:10:32] Adam: It’s legal.
[0:10:32 – 0:10:38] Erik: Yeah, dip it in just like a soldier into one of those soft boiled eggs.
[0:10:40 – 0:10:40] Erik: Get it in there.
[0:10:41 – 0:10:42] Erik: What?
[0:10:43 – 0:10:48] Erik: That’s what they call the little toast guys.
[0:10:48 – 0:10:57] Erik: You know, the little egg holder that you tap the top of and then you kind of like peel off like a quarter inch, like just a little cap on the egg.
[0:10:57 – 0:10:59] Erik: Those little toast dippers are called soldiers.
[0:11:00 – 0:11:00] Adam: They are.
[0:11:00 – 0:11:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:11:02 – 0:11:03] Adam: Yolk soldiers?
[0:11:03 – 0:11:03] Adam: I guess.
[0:11:03 – 0:11:11] Erik: They’re in there fighting the good fight against the somewhat barely coagulated egg yolk.
[0:11:12 – 0:11:13] Erik: That’s like a three and a half minute egg.
[0:11:13 – 0:11:14] Adam: Interesting.
[0:11:14 – 0:11:15] Adam: Three and a half minutes.
[0:11:16 – 0:11:17] Erik: It’s not even a soft boiled egg.
[0:11:17 – 0:11:20] Erik: That’s just like kind of firms up the whites a little bit.
[0:11:21 – 0:11:22] Erik: Very German.
[0:11:22 – 0:11:22] Adam: Stable.
[0:11:23 – 0:11:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:11:24 – 0:11:24] Adam: All right.
[0:11:25 – 0:11:27] Adam: Yeah, it sounds like a great trip.
[0:11:28 – 0:11:31] Adam: And I always enjoy hearing from people in the field.
[0:11:31 – 0:11:35] Adam: And it sounds like you had a pretty good tent set up there.
[0:11:36 – 0:11:40] Erik: So I’m nice and crackly, nice and warm.
[0:11:41 – 0:11:53] Adam: And what are the chances that you’re using Pillsbury Doughboy products in the field while we were talking about cinnamon rolls last week?
[0:11:53 – 0:11:57] Adam: Like, where are the chances?
[0:11:57 – 0:11:59] Adam: Oh, no, not again.
[0:12:01 – 0:12:03] Erik: That is the current loon bleep.
[0:12:03 – 0:12:07] Adam: Yeah, and what is your loon bleep?
[0:12:07 – 0:12:08] Erik: What is the loon bleep?
[0:12:08 – 0:12:15] Erik: It seems like an insane clown horn of some sort.
[0:12:15 – 0:12:15] Adam: Yeah.
[0:12:16 – 0:12:17] Adam: Episode 279…
[0:12:21 – 0:12:22] Adam: I don’t think it’s a full moon.
[0:12:22 – 0:12:26] Adam: It’s definitely snowing outside, though, so irregardless, you can’t see anything.
[0:12:26 – 0:12:28] Adam: It’s just snowing pretty good on the right over here.
[0:12:29 – 0:12:30] Adam: I didn’t see no foxes.
[0:12:30 – 0:12:31] Adam: I didn’t see no wolves.
[0:12:31 – 0:12:33] Adam: I didn’t see no bunnies.
[0:12:33 – 0:12:37] Adam: There’s nothing in my snares when I walk down here this evening.
[0:12:38 – 0:12:48] Adam: Of course, we will be talking about a lot of bunnies tonight on Tumble Home, Tumble-O-Nay, Season 7, Episode 8.
[0:12:49 – 0:12:51] Erik: Somebody else has a four bunny day.
[0:12:52 – 0:12:54] Adam: How many four bunny days are they going to have?
[0:12:54 – 0:12:55] Adam: It’s incredible.
[0:12:55 – 0:12:56] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:12:57 – 0:12:59] Erik: All this speak of wildlife, though.
[0:12:59 – 0:13:03] Erik: The owl eruption finally came to my door.
[0:13:04 – 0:13:08] Erik: They came for the lagomorphs, and I said nothing.
[0:13:08 – 0:13:10] Erik: We just laughed and laughed.
[0:13:10 – 0:13:11] Erik: Laughed and laughed.
[0:13:11 – 0:13:12] Erik: It’s never going to happen to me.
[0:13:12 – 0:13:15] Erik: And then all of a sudden, they’re right outside my front door, literally.
[0:13:15 – 0:13:16] Adam: I hadn’t even considered.
[0:13:16 – 0:13:17] Erik: You sent me the picture.
[0:13:17 – 0:13:18] Erik: Is it still out there?
[0:13:19 – 0:13:19] Erik: Who knows?
[0:13:19 – 0:13:20] Erik: It might be.
[0:13:20 – 0:13:25] Erik: The thing was, it literally flew in front of these windows here that we both saw it.
[0:13:25 – 0:13:26] Erik: Just like, what the?
[0:13:26 – 0:13:30] Erik: And then looked out and it landed in the closest tree to my house.
[0:13:31 – 0:13:32] Erik: Massive owl.
[0:13:33 – 0:13:38] Adam: And then you got your letter accepting you into Hogwarts.
[0:13:38 – 0:13:38] Adam: Yeah.
[0:13:39 – 0:13:41] Adam: And congratulations.

[0:14:05 – 0:14:07] Erik: Uh, no, it was like that weird time of night.
[0:14:07 – 0:14:11] Erik: And also it was like a very dreary gray day.
[0:14:11 – 0:14:13] Erik: So there was no light whatsoever.
[0:14:13 – 0:14:16] Erik: It was more of a silhouette right at the end of the day.
[0:14:17 – 0:14:21] Erik: Silhouette looking for a little, a little Mexican snack, I think.
[0:14:22 – 0:14:23] Erik: Oh.
[0:14:23 – 0:14:43] Erik: because tori saw it like 10 minutes before when hector was outside oh i see and he was barking like crazy and running down the road and then the thing came like from behind him and he was like jumping up at it no no not your friend and though i swear it was coming back and it was just sitting in that tree just like
[0:14:44 – 0:14:45] Erik: Doing the big head turn.
[0:14:45 – 0:14:46] Adam: Where’s that shrew?
[0:14:46 – 0:14:48] Adam: Yeah, where’s that big black shrew?
[0:14:48 – 0:14:49] Adam: I want that Mexican shrew.
[0:14:49 – 0:14:51] Erik: I need to spice things up a little bit.
[0:14:51 – 0:14:52] Erik: Where’s that black shrew?
[0:14:53 – 0:14:54] Erik: Picante.
[0:14:54 – 0:14:59] Adam: Vote for me and you could have chimichangas for dinner every night of the week.
[0:14:59 – 0:15:00] Erik: Mm, heart healthy.
[0:15:02 – 0:15:03] Adam: All right.
[0:15:03 – 0:15:12] Adam: We do have a mystery box here, and I threw some extra stuff in here, but there is a bag.
[0:15:12 – 0:15:13] Adam: Hold on.
[0:15:13 – 0:15:14] Adam: This bag is very fragile.
[0:15:15 – 0:15:17] Erik: You don’t want to just suckle on maple syrup again?
[0:15:17 – 0:15:21] Adam: As much as I would like to do that, I mean, all that…
[0:15:22 – 0:15:25] Adam: All that family-owned maple syrup is down the hatch.
[0:15:25 – 0:15:34] Erik: You came in pretty hot with essentially like a maple addendum from last week.
[0:15:35 – 0:15:38] Erik: Apparently the shaped… Oh, right.
[0:15:38 – 0:15:45] Adam: As soon as I walked in the door, I was like, it’s Mrs. Buttersworth, Eric, not Aunt Jemima that’s shaped like the old woman.
[0:15:45 – 0:15:47] Erik: Buttersworth is the shaped bottle.
[0:15:48 – 0:15:49] Erik: Still shaped like that?
[0:15:50 – 0:15:50] Adam: Apparently.
[0:15:50 – 0:15:54] Adam: According to our grandma’s pantry.
[0:15:54 – 0:15:58] Erik: Yeah, the picture that you showed me was like all of the racist food items.
[0:15:59 – 0:16:00] Erik: It was like Uncle Ben’s.
[0:16:00 – 0:16:01] Erik: Who was the cream of wheat guy?
[0:16:02 – 0:16:03] Erik: There’s just the cream of wheat guy.
[0:16:03 – 0:16:06] Erik: Some old black, some old haggard black man.
[0:16:06 – 0:16:07] Erik: Selling oatmeal.
[0:16:07 – 0:16:08] Erik: Selling oatmeal.
[0:16:09 – 0:16:09] Erik: Buttersworth.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:10] Erik: She’s not really.
[0:16:10 – 0:16:11] Adam: Terry Creams.
[0:16:12 – 0:16:13] Adam: Terry Creams.
[0:16:13 – 0:16:15] Adam: And then Mrs. Buttersworth.
[0:16:15 – 0:16:15] Adam: And then Jemima.
[0:16:16 – 0:16:23] Adam: Yeah, I actually went to Johnson’s today to get illegal contraband red sprinkles.
[0:16:24 – 0:16:25] Adam: Why are they illegal?
[0:16:25 – 0:16:31] Adam: Because the ones the co-op sells aren’t red and don’t have any hoof in them.
[0:16:31 – 0:16:33] Erik: Oh, so you want red five and hoof?
[0:16:35 – 0:16:35] Erik: All of it.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:16:35 – 0:16:41] Adam: If you’re making red sprinkles with anything, I’m sorry, but the ones that co-op sells just aren’t good enough.
[0:16:41 – 0:16:41] Adam: Sure.
[0:16:42 – 0:16:50] Adam: And if you’re going to ingest any like toxic chemicals in the name of a holiday, you know, spirit and cheer, you know, once in a while, I think that’s fine.
[0:16:50 – 0:16:51] Erik: What’s the holiday?
[0:16:52 – 0:16:52] Adam: Valentine’s Day.
[0:16:53 – 0:16:54] Erik: Oh, right.
[0:16:54 – 0:16:55] Adam: Heart-shaped cookies, Eric.
[0:16:55 – 0:16:56] Adam: Okay.
[0:16:56 – 0:17:12] Erik: Well, we don’t need to get into that quite yet, but it does bring to mind, I don’t know why this didn’t come up last week, one of the other most memorable, if not famous, not infamous, but famous shaped bottles.
[0:17:12 – 0:17:16] Erik: There is another syrup bottle that comes in the shape of a log cabin.
[0:17:17 – 0:17:17] Erik: Is it?
[0:17:17 – 0:17:20] Erik: Yes, it’s kind of like the hard…
[0:17:21 – 0:17:22] Adam: Syrup is really bringing it.
[0:17:22 – 0:17:29] Erik: Yeah, why is syrup the one container that can be like, yeah, we’re going to shape it like an old lady.
[0:17:29 – 0:17:30] Erik: Syrup gets it.
[0:17:30 – 0:17:31] Adam: Syrup gets it.
[0:17:31 – 0:17:32] Adam: Nobody else gets it.
[0:17:32 – 0:17:40] Adam: Yeah, the gravy box is the most plain packaging in the history of food ever.
[0:17:40 – 0:17:43] Erik: What else would you want a gravy container to be shaped like, though?
[0:17:43 – 0:17:44] Erik: A barrel?
[0:17:44 – 0:17:45] Erik: Just a big barrel.
[0:17:48 – 0:17:51] Erik: I can think of a few other things that might be better served in like a barrel.
[0:17:51 – 0:17:53] Adam: Like what about a cauldron of gravy?
[0:17:54 – 0:18:18] Erik: uh yeah yeah that could work that seems like that could be pragmatic for like the i mean it always ends up boiling down to like what is what is the food company really you know at the end of the day are they willing to put something in like a crazy like they could kind of be like a all right this has got to go through r and d we got to make sure that the whole thing should look like a big turkey well yeah pour the gravy out the beak
[0:18:19 – 0:18:22] Erik: Yeah, but then it’s like, oh, everything gets caught up in like the tail feathers.
[0:18:22 – 0:18:24] Adam: Yeah, you lose a lot of the product that way.
[0:18:24 – 0:18:31] Erik: I’m sure there’s a lot of like, how many actual fun shapes of… Are also a good shape for holding liquid food.
[0:18:31 – 0:18:37] Erik: Yeah, I swear there is a, I’m almost positive that there is a like log cabin shaped maple syrup.
[0:18:37 – 0:18:44] Adam: Well, I was at the grocery store where all the fun syrup and bottles might be and I totally forgot to look for it.
[0:18:44 – 0:18:46] Adam: I just went and got the sprinkles.
[0:18:46 – 0:18:48] Adam: I grabbed a bag of charcoal and I walked right out.
[0:18:49 – 0:18:50] Adam: I totally forgot to look at the syrup.
[0:18:50 – 0:18:51] Adam: I was so mad.
[0:18:52 – 0:19:01] Adam: But I did do a little internet research, and yeah, it is apparently Mrs. Buttersworth is the one we were thinking of.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:01] Adam: Okay.
[0:19:01 – 0:19:03] Adam: We were all mixed up, Eric.
[0:19:03 – 0:19:10] Adam: Hundreds of people were screaming at their dashboards while driving to work or whatever.
[0:19:10 – 0:19:12] Adam: This is so embarrassing for them.
[0:19:12 – 0:19:14] Adam: Yeah, we’re never going to recover.
[0:19:14 – 0:19:18] Adam: I hope people can forget.
[0:19:19 – 0:19:21] Adam: I know they won’t be able to forget, but I hope they can forgive.
[0:19:21 – 0:19:22] Erik: Can you forgive us?
[0:19:23 – 0:19:26] Adam: This week’s art supplies came to us in a large brown bag.
[0:19:26 – 0:19:31] Adam: It’s in the shape of mini beers and sort of ripped.
[0:19:32 – 0:19:33] Adam: It just says Adam Art Supplies.
[0:19:33 – 0:19:36] Adam: This came into the co-op in October.
[0:19:36 – 0:19:38] Adam: We’re into the October supply.
[0:19:38 – 0:19:40] Adam: It’s got a random assortment.
[0:19:40 – 0:19:42] Adam: We’re just going to pile them out here.
[0:19:42 – 0:19:47] Adam: Got a Linen Kugel’s Big Eddie Imperial Stout in a large can.
[0:19:47 – 0:19:48] Adam: That one’s for Eric.
[0:19:48 – 0:19:49] Adam: No, thank you.
[0:19:49 – 0:19:50] Adam: There’s another one for Eric.
[0:19:51 – 0:19:53] Adam: Two Big Eddie’s Imperial Stouts for Eric.
[0:19:53 – 0:19:55] Erik: We’ll just push these over off to the side here.
[0:19:55 – 0:19:56] Adam: Is that it?
[0:19:57 – 0:19:58] Adam: What’s going on here?
[0:19:58 – 0:20:00] Adam: There’s a second paper bag here.
[0:20:00 – 0:20:01] Adam: It’s all ripped up.
[0:20:01 – 0:20:03] Adam: Like, what happened in here?
[0:20:04 – 0:20:07] Adam: This one also says Art Supplies Tumble Homie Provided.
[0:20:09 – 0:20:10] Adam: It’s another Big Eddie.
[0:20:10 – 0:20:11] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:20:12 – 0:20:13] Erik: There’s no other options.
[0:20:13 – 0:20:17] Erik: This is a dark, dark day for baseball.
[0:20:17 – 0:20:18] Adam: What happened to this bag?
[0:20:19 – 0:20:21] Adam: It’s not signed.
[0:20:21 – 0:20:22] Adam: Now I’ve got to go.
[0:20:23 – 0:20:24] Adam: I’m going to have to pull up the…
[0:20:24 – 0:20:27] Adam: I have the picture of the whiteboard in my phone somewhere, Eric.
[0:20:27 – 0:20:28] Adam: Bear with me.
[0:20:28 – 0:20:30] Adam: I’ve got to go back and find it.
[0:20:32 – 0:20:34] Adam: All right.
[0:20:34 – 0:20:35] Adam: All right.
[0:20:35 – 0:20:37] Adam: You’re going to be all right.
[0:20:37 – 0:20:38] Adam: Would you rather have beef?
[0:20:38 – 0:20:43] Adam: While I’m looking for this picture, Eric, would you rather have beef with Kendrick or with a bear?
[0:20:43 – 0:20:44] Erik: What do you mean?
[0:20:45 – 0:20:45] Erik: Like internet beef?
[0:20:47 – 0:20:48] Adam: Yeah, culture beef.
[0:20:48 – 0:20:49] Adam: Or a bear?
[0:20:49 – 0:20:50] Adam: Talking about gravies.
[0:20:50 – 0:20:53] Adam: You want to have verbal beef.
[0:20:54 – 0:20:55] Adam: It’s the opposite of liquid beef.
[0:20:58 – 0:21:01] Adam: Rat battles are just verbal gravy, really.
[0:21:01 – 0:21:02] Adam: Sure.
[0:21:02 – 0:21:10] Adam: With Kendrick, would you rather have rat beef against Kendrick or have straight beef with an angry bear in your campsite?
[0:21:11 – 0:21:16] Erik: Um, I guess I don’t really feel like I’m important enough for the beef with Kendrick to matter.
[0:21:17 – 0:21:21] Erik: Like that would probably like rise, like raise my stock in the world.
[0:21:22 – 0:21:23] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:23 – 0:21:24] Adam: Like why would he beef with you?
[0:21:24 – 0:21:24] Adam: Yeah.
[0:21:24 – 0:21:25] Erik: I don’t care.
[0:21:25 – 0:21:26] Erik: You know what I mean?
[0:21:26 – 0:21:26] Adam: Sure.
[0:21:26 – 0:21:27] Adam: Tumble home.
[0:21:27 – 0:21:31] Adam: Uh, the old tumble homey community would be beefing.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:31] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:21:31 – 0:21:36] Erik: Anybody that walks around with jeans like that, I don’t think should be able to beef with anybody.
[0:21:37 – 0:21:37] Erik: Just saying.
[0:21:38 – 0:21:38] Adam: This one…
[0:21:38 – 0:21:40] Adam: Okay, I found the whiteboard.
[0:21:40 – 0:21:42] Adam: It just says brown bag October.
[0:21:42 – 0:21:45] Adam: Next week is just white bag October.
[0:21:46 – 0:21:46] Adam: Wow.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:47] Adam: So, I don’t know.
[0:21:47 – 0:21:48] Adam: I mean…
[0:21:48 – 0:21:53] Adam: I don’t think I was there the day this was dropped off because I’m usually pretty good about getting a name and writing it down.
[0:21:53 – 0:21:55] Adam: This one looks like it took a real beating.
[0:21:55 – 0:21:58] Erik: I think Trevor was still volunteering in Ukraine in those days.
[0:21:59 – 0:22:02] Erik: He wasn’t around to take the notes for us like we needed.
[0:22:02 – 0:22:08] Adam: I got some additional options for you if you want to opt out of the Big Eddie’s.
[0:22:08 – 0:22:12] Adam: I got a Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar Ice Cold Soda.
[0:22:13 – 0:22:13] Erik: Nope.
[0:22:14 – 0:22:14] Erik: Not interested in that.
[0:22:15 – 0:22:17] Erik: I’ve got plenty of… Oh, that sounds good.
[0:22:17 – 0:22:18] Adam: I got a…
[0:22:18 – 0:22:19] Adam: This one I brought over.
[0:22:19 – 0:22:23] Adam: It’s a Modest Supra Deluxe Premium Lager.
[0:22:23 – 0:22:24] Adam: Yeah, that’s a good one.
[0:22:24 – 0:22:24] Adam: You going for that?
[0:22:25 – 0:22:36] Adam: Well, I mean, if it’s up for grabs, I would gladly… You let me know once we hit hour one timestamp and you’re thirsting for that Dr. Pepper, but I’m going to get into the big idea.
[0:22:36 – 0:22:36] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:22:37 – 0:22:38] Adam: We got no name on this one.
[0:22:38 – 0:22:40] Adam: Thank you, kind stranger and friend.
[0:22:40 – 0:22:44] Erik: Thank you for the… Three Big Eddies.
[0:22:44 – 0:22:47] Erik: Three 9.5% Imperial Stouts.
[0:22:47 – 0:22:48] Erik: I guess this is the time of year.
[0:22:48 – 0:22:50] Adam: It is Friday night, and it’s dark.
[0:22:50 – 0:22:51] Erik: Yeah, it’s Valentine’s Day.
[0:22:52 – 0:22:53] Erik: Happy Valentine’s Day.
[0:22:53 – 0:22:54] Erik: It’s pointless holiday of the year.
[0:22:54 – 0:22:55] Erik: You’re wearing red?
[0:22:56 – 0:22:57] Erik: Yeah, I mean, I wear this sweatshirt every day.
[0:22:58 – 0:22:59] Adam: I don’t wear this.
[0:22:59 – 0:23:01] Adam: I’m wearing my neon pink hoodie.
[0:23:03 – 0:23:03] SPEAKER_00: Cheers.
[0:23:07 – 0:23:09] Adam: I didn’t think Lion Google’s made something this hard.
[0:23:10 – 0:23:11] Adam: Yeah, it is actually kind of surprising.
[0:23:12 – 0:23:14] Adam: That’s going hard.
[0:23:15 – 0:23:20] Erik: Yeah, they typically skew towards like the candy varietal of beers.
[0:23:21 – 0:23:22] Adam: Yeah, no, this one’s kind of serious.
[0:23:23 – 0:23:23] Erik: It’s a shandy.
[0:23:24 – 0:23:25] Erik: It’s a berry vice.
[0:23:26 – 0:23:28] Erik: Oh, you mean you just put a bunch of sugar water in it?
[0:23:28 – 0:23:29] Erik: Right.
[0:23:29 – 0:23:29] Erik: Okay.
[0:23:31 – 0:23:33] Adam: It’s going to be all right.
[0:23:35 – 0:23:41] Adam: Do you think it’s okay now that Serena Williams is crip-walking in the Super Bowl halftime show?
[0:23:42 – 0:23:46] Adam: Can we crip-walk on a portage?
[0:23:46 – 0:23:47] Erik: I’m not sure.
[0:23:47 – 0:23:48] Erik: What is that?
[0:23:48 – 0:23:49] Erik: Crips versus Bloods?
[0:23:50 – 0:23:54] Erik: I mean, I’m vaguely familiar with the mythical gangs.
[0:23:54 – 0:23:56] Erik: Do those gangs even really exist?
[0:23:57 – 0:23:57] Adam: Yeah, I think they do.
[0:23:58 – 0:23:59] Adam: Not in Grand Marais.
[0:23:59 – 0:24:00] Erik: Let’s not test the waters.
[0:24:00 – 0:24:04] Adam: Yeah, we’re not really aligning ourselves with one another.
[0:24:04 – 0:24:05] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:24:05 – 0:24:05] Erik: We’re neutral.
[0:24:05 – 0:24:06] Erik: Let it be known.
[0:24:06 – 0:24:17] Adam: But I was just, you know, from my understanding was like if you were, you know, crip walking in the wrong neighborhood, like you get just shot or whatever.
[0:24:17 – 0:24:23] Adam: Like it’s a serious violation and Serena used to date Drake.
[0:24:23 – 0:24:25] Erik: It’s a specific way of walking?
[0:24:25 – 0:24:25] Erik: Is that what it is?
[0:24:26 – 0:24:33] Adam: Sort of a celebratory dance that you, you would like, um, you’d crip walk on like the grave of your enemy.
[0:24:33 – 0:24:34] Erik: Oh, wow.
[0:24:34 – 0:24:38] Erik: I do remember having a friend in high school who could do the thing with his hands.
[0:24:38 – 0:24:38] Erik: Oh yeah.
[0:24:39 – 0:24:42] Erik: You know, where you put the fingers together and it says bloods or whatever.
[0:24:42 – 0:25:04] Erik: right he was pretty proud of that you know that little uh twerpy 16 year old irish kid from white bear lake minnesota throwing up the blood sign yeah you’re hard so like serena used to date drake and then during while they’re playing you know
[0:25:07 – 0:25:27] Adam: while like kendrick’s on the biggest stage in the world playing the song which everybody’s just celebrating the demise of drake then serena’s doing the crip walk you know honestly i didn’t get into any of that i have no idea so man what the beef was or is or was is that drake’s a phony and kendrick’s real
[0:25:27 – 0:25:31] Erik: Well, I mean, I get it, but I didn’t pay attention to any of it.
[0:25:31 – 0:25:33] Erik: I didn’t listen to any of the songs.
[0:25:33 – 0:25:35] Erik: I didn’t recognize any of the songs from the Super Bowl halftime show.
[0:25:36 – 0:25:36] Erik: No way.
[0:25:37 – 0:25:37] Erik: Way.
[0:25:37 – 0:25:38] Erik: Wow.
[0:25:38 – 0:25:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:25:38 – 0:25:39] Erik: Not into it.
[0:25:39 – 0:25:40] Erik: Not really.
[0:25:41 – 0:25:50] Erik: I mean, yeah, sure, there have been some Kendrick Lamar songs and or maybe even some albums that I’ve enjoyed off and on, but it’s not something that I’m regularly putting on.
[0:25:51 – 0:26:13] Erik: shocker i’m not shocked i mean if you’ve uh ever listened to any of the music that i’ve recommended in over the over the course of the last five years gnx didn’t make our list like jpeg no yeah it didn’t make our list at all yeah uh i don’t know jpeg mafia is about as close as into any of the rap realm as i get
[0:26:13 – 0:26:14] Adam: But it was just like, I don’t know.
[0:26:15 – 0:26:16] Adam: You ever play Fortnite?
[0:26:16 – 0:26:18] Adam: I’m not thinking you’re a Fortnite player.
[0:26:18 – 0:26:23] Erik: No, I mean, I have a vague understanding of a lot of these things, but I don’t know the details.
[0:26:23 – 0:26:26] Erik: I didn’t even realize there was a Serena, the tennis player?
[0:26:26 – 0:26:26] Adam: Yeah.
[0:26:27 – 0:26:29] Erik: I didn’t even see that she was there.
[0:26:29 – 0:26:30] Adam: You watched the Super Bowl.
[0:26:30 – 0:26:31] Erik: I watched it.
[0:26:31 – 0:26:32] Erik: Yeah, it was on.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:32] Erik: It was on.
[0:26:32 – 0:26:33] Erik: You watched the whole thing.
[0:26:34 – 0:26:36] Erik: I did, and I was like, I have no idea what’s going on right now.
[0:26:37 – 0:26:38] Erik: I wasn’t offended by it.
[0:26:38 – 0:26:41] Erik: I wasn’t super excited, though, either.
[0:26:41 – 0:26:43] Erik: I was just like, man, this is fine, I guess.
[0:26:43 – 0:26:43] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:26:44 – 0:26:44] Erik: Sure.
[0:26:44 – 0:26:46] Erik: It’s a critique of the United States, man.
[0:26:46 – 0:26:46] Erik: Don’t you get it?
[0:26:47 – 0:26:48] Erik: Yeah.
[0:26:48 – 0:26:49] Erik: It sounded good.
[0:26:49 – 0:26:50] Erik: It looked cool.
[0:26:50 – 0:26:50] Erik: I’m fine with it.
[0:26:51 – 0:26:52] Erik: Those jeans, they’re whack.
[0:26:52 – 0:26:53] Erik: I’ll tell you that much.
[0:26:53 – 0:26:54] Erik: They were whack.
[0:26:54 – 0:26:55] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:26:55 – 0:26:58] Erik: Are you trying to start a new jean trend?
[0:26:59 – 0:27:00] Adam: They almost were bell bottoms.
[0:27:01 – 0:27:02] Erik: Yeah, they basically were.
[0:27:03 – 0:27:05] Adam: Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam.
[0:27:06 – 0:27:07] Erik: Hey, man.
[0:27:07 – 0:27:09] Adam: Representing the system, Eric.
[0:27:09 – 0:27:11] Adam: Never forget, Uncle Sam was white.
[0:27:13 – 0:27:16] Adam: Yeah.
[0:27:16 – 0:27:20] Adam: I don’t know, man.
[0:27:20 – 0:27:22] Adam: I guess, you know.
[0:27:24 – 0:27:29] Adam: I just hope someday I can, you know, cryptwalk on the grave of my enemies.
[0:27:29 – 0:27:31] Adam: I hope I live long enough to see them die before me.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:32] Erik: Sure.
[0:27:32 – 0:27:40] Erik: Well, I mean, I’m sorry if I maybe potentially squelched any kind of a big cryptwalking conversation that you wanted to have.
[0:27:40 – 0:27:42] Adam: I don’t think we should even be talking about it, frankly.
[0:27:43 – 0:27:47] Adam: It’s like the whole point was like, you know, that’s the sort of thing that used to…
[0:27:48 – 0:27:51] Adam: Maybe Get You Killed, and now they’re doing it on the halftime show.
[0:27:51 – 0:27:53] Adam: It’s like a dance move in Fortnite, whatever that is.
[0:27:54 – 0:28:05] Adam: It’s become like, it’s just more like, it’s part of the bigger cultural moment, not just gang and Compton.
[0:28:05 – 0:28:27] Erik: well nothing nothing really matters anymore right nothing does matter anymore that’s pretty much like that’s the world i’m living in now if if for any other reason it’s been forced down my ear holes and eye holes that that is in fact the case so why like would i try and care crypt walk wherever you want
[0:28:28 – 0:28:34] Adam: I don’t think it’s going to get you in too much trouble on the North shore or in the boundary waters, but yeah.
[0:28:35 – 0:28:35] Adam: Yeah.
[0:28:35 – 0:28:45] Adam: You know, when the mining equipment setting up over there, you might have to go crip walk in front of the, you know, the heavy industrial equipment and the big drill.
[0:28:45 – 0:28:46] Erik: There’s no precious metals over here.
[0:28:47 – 0:28:48] Adam: Not on this side.
[0:28:48 – 0:28:52] Erik: This is the one safe place to be anymore, it feels like.
[0:28:53 – 0:28:54] Erik: It keeps getting smaller and smaller.
[0:28:54 – 0:29:02] Erik: Tiny little, yeah, it’s just this little kind of cone, little wedge of Minnesota.
[0:29:04 – 0:29:11] Erik: One of three counties that voted farther to the left versus 2020, somehow.
[0:29:12 – 0:29:15] Adam: More and more like-minded individuals are moving up here.
[0:29:15 – 0:29:18] Erik: It’s a little – like an island of sanity.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:18] Adam: All right.
[0:29:18 – 0:29:19] Adam: Jesus.
[0:29:19 – 0:29:20] Adam: To the – yeah.
[0:29:20 – 0:29:23] Adam: We got fresh water and we got canyons and sanity.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:24] Adam: It’s pretty nice.
[0:29:24 – 0:29:27] Adam: And we’re cryptwalking all over the mining apparatus.
[0:29:28 – 0:29:31] Adam: I cryptwalked in the – I shouldn’t say bleep that out.
[0:29:31 – 0:29:33] Adam: I definitely didn’t do it at work.
[0:29:33 – 0:29:36] Adam: That would be probably a violation of the handbook.
[0:29:36 – 0:29:37] Adam: HR.
[0:29:37 – 0:29:37] UNKNOWN: HR.
[0:29:38 – 0:30:05] Adam: no i was thinking about it but i decided it wouldn’t be smart and uh so i i saved it for when i got home um but anyhow just crip walked into your kitchen natalie’s like stop it it’s enough with the crip walking you’re gonna teach our kids uh you know improper crip walk technique yeah wait until they’re older and then you can teach them proper
[0:30:05 – 0:30:08] Adam: Yeah, you don’t have the moves, frankly.
[0:30:09 – 0:30:10] Adam: Just please stop that.
[0:30:11 – 0:30:12] Adam: You’re not a good dancer.
[0:30:14 – 0:30:15] Erik: Take that to Zavral’s.
[0:30:15 – 0:30:16] Erik: It’s kind of a dance, too?
[0:30:16 – 0:30:17] Adam: I don’t even know what it is.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:18] Adam: It’s a dance.
[0:30:18 – 0:30:19] Adam: Okay.
[0:30:19 – 0:30:20] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:20 – 0:30:22] Adam: Serena does it a lot better than I do.
[0:30:22 – 0:30:23] Adam: I’m sure.
[0:30:23 – 0:30:24] Adam: I’ll tell you that for free, Eric.
[0:30:24 – 0:30:25] Erik: Yeah, I’m sure.
[0:30:25 – 0:30:28] Erik: I think probably the only thing that you do better than her is grow a mustache.
[0:30:29 – 0:30:30] Adam: No doubt about that, though.
[0:30:30 – 0:30:31] Adam: I got her beat there.
[0:30:31 – 0:30:37] Adam: Also, my spin serve is better.
[0:30:37 – 0:30:38] Adam: Oh, yeah?
[0:30:38 – 0:30:38] Erik: Yeah.
[0:30:38 – 0:30:40] Erik: Mustache and spin serve.
[0:30:40 – 0:30:42] Adam: Yeah, my mustache and my spin serve is better for sure.
[0:30:42 – 0:30:44] Adam: I could beat Serena in tennis.
[0:30:44 – 0:30:45] Adam: Yeah.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:45] Adam: I mean.
[0:30:45 – 0:30:46] Adam: I bet.
[0:30:46 – 0:30:48] Erik: She’s pretty much retired at this point.
[0:30:50 – 0:31:12] Adam: um did you i’m not gonna sidetrack this anymore i don’t have anything else i did i will say this though i don’t think it was clear and i want i don’t want there to be any confusion total topic change okay but i did just delete the instagram picture the picture app is no longer on my phone i didn’t like delete the whole account um i just took it off my phone for now and for now
[0:31:13 – 0:31:38] Adam: so don’t try and dm me on the picture app anymore because i’m not looking at it and uh for now at least and i did join blue sky and uh admiral geary uh dear friend of the show had posted a tumble homie starter pack on the on the subreddit so if anybody out there listening it happens to be on blue sky you can go on there and check it out and find a lot of the tumble homies and
[0:31:39 – 0:32:07] Erik: uh it’s community eric not a meme group no way and uh yeah blue sky i’m not on there a ton but it is it reminds me of the olden days like the beginning of twitter the olden days yeah well you know nothing sustains nothing remains it’s all a cycle i’m sure in five years we’ll all be dumping blue sky for whatever’s next so we’re here we’ve never changed
[0:32:08 – 0:32:08] Adam: We’ve never changed.
[0:32:08 – 0:32:14] Adam: We’re still a proud independent podcast, and we dumped our sponsor, zoosupplycompany.com.
[0:32:14 – 0:32:17] Adam: We found out they had ethical concerns in their business practices.
[0:32:17 – 0:32:18] Adam: We kicked them to the curb.
[0:32:18 – 0:32:21] Adam: We’re back to being a proud independent podcast once again.
[0:32:21 – 0:32:23] Erik: I thought we were going to get back into the flow state.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:24] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:32:24 – 0:32:25] Adam: We’ve never left.
[0:32:25 – 0:32:26] Adam: We’ve always been in the flow state.
[0:32:26 – 0:32:27] Adam: We’ve always been flowing.
[0:32:27 – 0:32:28] Adam: Yes, sir.
[0:32:28 – 0:32:31] Adam: Hashtag flowing, my flow bros. That’s right.
[0:32:31 – 0:32:33] Adam: Yeah, that’s what they told us to say.
[0:32:34 – 0:32:42] Erik: Yeah, we are talking the eighth episode of the seventh season of Alone on the Patreon.
[0:32:42 – 0:32:48] Erik: I think we’ve mentioned that, but we are going to try and finish.
[0:32:50 – 0:32:50] Erik: The comments.
[0:32:50 – 0:32:52] Erik: Question of the year.
[0:32:52 – 0:32:53] Erik: Questions of the year.
[0:32:54 – 0:32:55] Erik: Question of the year.
[0:32:55 – 0:32:58] Erik: Responses to the question of the year.
[0:33:01 – 0:33:01] Erik: We’ll see if we can do it.
[0:33:02 – 0:33:02] Erik: We can do it.
[0:33:03 – 0:33:03] Erik: We can do it.
[0:33:04 – 0:33:05] Erik: It’s Friday night.
[0:33:05 – 0:33:09] Erik: I was not aware there was going to be a 20-minute discussion about cryptwalking.
[0:33:10 – 0:33:15] Erik: I have no idea what we just talked about for the last 20 minutes, but I’m happy we did it.
[0:33:15 – 0:33:18] Erik: I’m sure I will learn something about it after I post this on Sunday.
[0:33:19 – 0:33:23] Adam: Yeah, we’re probably going to be in trouble after this episode.
[0:33:23 – 0:33:24] Adam: I can pretty much guarantee.
[0:33:24 – 0:33:25] Erik: With the Crips or the Bloods?
[0:33:26 – 0:33:26] Adam: Both.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:27] Adam: Both.
[0:33:27 – 0:33:29] Adam: We’re in big trouble with both.
[0:33:30 – 0:33:37] Adam: Cook County used to be so nice until those tumble homies had to start beef with the Bloods and the Crips.
[0:33:38 – 0:33:42] Adam: We’re totally hit the Pillsbury Doughboy button.
[0:33:43 – 0:33:44] Adam: It’s not looking good.
[0:33:44 – 0:33:45] Adam: Started up a turf war.
[0:33:46 – 0:34:08] Adam: sorry uh admiral gary you know what we have created it was beautiful but now unfortunately we have destroyed it thanks a lot to the super bowl halftime show well send some messages out to my boys at ms13 they’ll have our backs thank goodness that’s another gang what’s the main gang up in thunder bay yeah what’s like the big gang the north is there a northern gang
[0:34:11 – 0:34:12] Erik: What’s the main gang?
[0:34:12 – 0:34:13] Erik: What’s the T-Bay gang?
[0:34:13 – 0:34:17] Adam: Yeah, there’s T-Bay ruled by blood or crip.
[0:34:17 – 0:34:29] Erik: There’s got to be a map of temperature, outdoor year-round temperatures, and prevalence of gang activity.
[0:34:29 – 0:34:32] Erik: That has to for sure skew south.
[0:34:32 – 0:34:36] Erik: Nobody’s out there on the streets of Thunder Bay when it’s 25 below, like, repping their territory.
[0:34:36 – 0:34:37] Erik: I’m sorry.
[0:34:37 – 0:34:38] Erik: They’re not.
[0:34:39 – 0:34:40] Erik: The gang is just called Lakehead.
[0:34:40 – 0:34:42] Erik: Yeah, the gang is the lake.
[0:34:43 – 0:34:45] Erik: Just stay off the streets in general.
[0:34:45 – 0:34:46] Erik: Sleeping giants.
[0:34:46 – 0:34:47] Erik: Sure.
[0:34:47 – 0:34:48] Erik: The sleeping giants.
[0:34:48 – 0:34:52] Adam: Oh, God.
[0:34:52 – 0:34:54] Adam: Little giants rolling up.
[0:34:54 – 0:34:56] Adam: Yeah, to make you sleep.
[0:34:56 – 0:35:01] Adam: Rolling up in my Dodge Ram to effing mess you up, mister.
[0:35:02 – 0:35:03] Adam: Buster.
[0:35:03 – 0:35:06] Adam: You better get off that horse and look me right here in the eye, mister.
[0:35:06 – 0:35:08] Adam: I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking my denim.
[0:35:09 – 0:35:11] Erik: What are you doing on a horse?
[0:35:11 – 0:35:14] Adam: You better take your gravy knife out and pour that gravy out on the gutter, sir.
[0:35:16 – 0:35:16] Adam: I do declare.
[0:35:17 – 0:35:21] Adam: That ends gang chat here on Double M. Never again.
[0:35:21 – 0:35:22] Adam: Never again.
[0:35:22 – 0:35:23] Adam: What have we done?
[0:35:23 – 0:35:24] Adam: I do declare.
[0:35:25 – 0:35:26] Erik: I do declare.
[0:35:27 – 0:35:27] Erik: Hopalicious.
[0:35:28 – 0:35:29] Erik: We’ve made you wait.
[0:35:30 – 0:35:31] Erik: We got your beer sponsors in.
[0:35:32 – 0:35:37] Erik: You’ve been waiting two and a half months for us to read the response to…
[0:35:39 – 0:35:42] Erik: From you to our question of the year.
[0:35:42 – 0:35:45] Erik: I guess I just assumed I would read this.
[0:35:46 – 0:35:47] Adam: Yeah, you’re starting for sure.
[0:35:48 – 0:35:49] Erik: Two trips in 2024.
[0:35:51 – 0:35:55] Erik: First was a June solo to entry point 26, Wood Lake.
[0:35:56 – 0:36:02] Erik: The plan was to set up on wood and day trip to good and maybe Indiana.
[0:36:04 – 0:36:11] Erik: Those plans were dynamited by a 180-rod portage from entry point 26 to wood.
[0:36:13 – 0:36:19] Erik: Latourelle’s portage recon said it was long and flat, but it didn’t mention how wet it gets, and June had plenty of rain.
[0:36:20 – 0:36:21] Erik: Yeah, there was floods.
[0:36:21 – 0:36:25] Erik: Three spots along the portage looked like the leech puddle from Stand By Me.
[0:36:26 – 0:36:28] Erik: Mozzie’s knew the puddles.
[0:36:30 – 0:36:34] Erik: Mozzie’s knew the puddles would slow their victims down and were waiting.
[0:36:35 – 0:36:42] Erik: After one keen sucking puddle, I paused to adjust the pack and my next breath was about 30% mosquitoes.
[0:36:45 – 0:36:49] Adam: Yeah, you’re going to have to change your jet on your carburetor for that kind of mix.
[0:36:50 – 0:36:54] Erik: I had heard of inhaling bugs before, but never had it happened.
[0:36:54 – 0:37:00] Erik: On the way back, I realized that this portage was not 180 rods, but something longer.
[0:37:01 – 0:37:05] Erik: Also, due to lackadaisical packing, I would not be able to double portage.
[0:37:05 – 0:37:06] Erik: This would be a triple portage.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:08] Adam: Oh, man.
[0:37:08 – 0:37:13] Adam: Well, yeah, you had to go back for the garbage bag with the king size comforter in it probably at the end.
[0:37:13 – 0:37:16] Adam: You got to wrap your arms around it.
[0:37:16 – 0:37:16] Erik: Yeah.
[0:37:18 – 0:37:20] Erik: Yeah, just walking, holding onto a pillow.
[0:37:21 – 0:37:26] Erik: After around 90 minutes of portaging, I was on Wood Lake and was not a happy camper.
[0:37:26 – 0:37:27] Adam: 90 minutes of portaging.
[0:37:27 – 0:37:28] Adam: Hour and a half later.
[0:37:28 – 0:37:29] Erik: Start the trip.
[0:37:32 – 0:37:54] Erik: yeah those uh the entry points where you have to walk into them it’s a whole different thing yeah those are the ones where you’re like halfway across and you’re like i took time off work to do this yeah we just do brule yeah i could be like i could be anywhere right now and instead i’m like knee deep in muck breathing in mosquitoes starting the trip with a portage what am i doing
[0:37:56 – 0:37:57] Erik: Yeah, the triple portage.
[0:37:57 – 0:37:58] Erik: That’s rough.
[0:37:59 – 0:38:05] Erik: It’s not anywhere near the worst portage in the park, but alone, it was a keen, destroying suckfest.
[0:38:06 – 0:38:09] Erik: Only after the trip did I notice the paddle planner lists the portage at 220.
[0:38:10 – 0:38:13] Erik: Yeah, that’s not negligible.
[0:38:14 – 0:38:16] Adam: Anything over two is serious stuff.
[0:38:16 – 0:38:17] Erik: Yeah.
[0:38:18 – 0:38:25] Erik: Any trip that starts with 1,100 rods of portaging is going to lower morale, especially when you’re alone.
[0:38:26 – 0:38:33] Erik: The lake itself was beautiful, and I easily found a nice site, but the trip was scarred by that portage experience.
[0:38:33 – 0:38:39] Adam: You should have pulled out a picture of your loved ones in between each leg of the portage.
[0:38:39 – 0:38:42] Erik: A laminated photo that you could only look at every 10 minutes.
[0:38:42 – 0:38:49] Adam: The producers allowed me to bring this one photo to look at to remind me of what I’m left behind at home.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:49] Erik: Yeah.
[0:38:49 – 0:38:52] Erik: She’s probably talking by now, you know.
[0:38:52 – 0:38:53] Adam: I missed his first steps.
[0:38:54 – 0:38:54] Adam: Yeah.
[0:38:54 – 0:38:55] Erik: Going to come home.
[0:38:55 – 0:38:56] Erik: He’s going to say, hey, dad.
[0:38:57 – 0:38:58] Erik: I talk now.
[0:38:59 – 0:39:02] Erik: My hopes to day trip to good were lost.
[0:39:03 – 0:39:10] Erik: If the portage off a main road was off by 40 rods, then I figured the portages further in had to be even more inaccurate.
[0:39:10 – 0:39:14] Erik: I did paddle to hula and walked it.
[0:39:15 – 0:39:18] Erik: It seemed like an accurate length, but I decided to give up on good lake.
[0:39:19 – 0:39:20] Erik: I would go no further.
[0:39:21 – 0:39:25] Erik: I paddled around wood and did some fishing, but overall I was rather bored.
[0:39:25 – 0:39:30] Erik: This was my third solo, and the first time I could say that I ever felt bored.
[0:39:30 – 0:39:35] Erik: Perhaps it was the dread of that exit portage, or that I was too close to my exit.
[0:39:35 – 0:39:41] Erik: The next morning I broke camp and once again endured three trips down that 220-rod bastard trail.
[0:39:44 – 0:39:49] Erik: I then headed to Britain’s for some floppy bacon and not crisp hash browns.
[0:39:51 – 0:39:52] Erik: Biscuits and sausage gravy were good.
[0:39:54 – 0:40:01] Erik: As stated in the bad Portage’s episodes, the worst Portage is not the longest one, but the one you expect to be a breeze.
[0:40:02 – 0:40:02] Erik: Yeah.
[0:40:03 – 0:40:06] Erik: That is expectations, that whole concept.
[0:40:07 – 0:40:10] Erik: Lower your expectations, you’ll live a much happier life.
[0:40:10 – 0:40:12] Adam: Never expect a garden walk.
[0:40:13 – 0:40:16] Adam: I do hope garden walk is made into the tumble home Wikipedia.
[0:40:16 – 0:40:18] Erik: Never expect anything that will make your life easier.
[0:40:19 – 0:40:20] Adam: Expect suffering.
[0:40:20 – 0:40:25] Erik: Expect suffering.
[0:40:25 – 0:40:27] Erik: The front runner for the title of the episode.
[0:40:27 – 0:40:29] Adam: I’m going to jot that one down for sure.
[0:40:29 – 0:40:32] Adam: It’s way better than the other one I had in mind.
[0:40:34 – 0:40:34] Erik: What?
[0:40:34 – 0:40:36] Erik: Something to do about crypt walking?
[0:40:36 – 0:40:38] Adam: Yeah, and we’re not allowed to do that.
[0:40:38 – 0:40:44] Adam: We’re already definitely on a few lists, so we want to cut down on the amount of watch lists we’ve been added to.
[0:40:45 – 0:40:48] Erik: Yeah, there’s a few lights blinking in the depths of NORAD right now.
[0:40:49 – 0:40:50] Adam: In the middle of Cheyenne Mountain.
[0:40:51 – 0:40:54] Adam: Alarms are going off down the bottom of Mel’s hole right now.
[0:40:55 – 0:41:02] Erik: Just a solo blinking red light next to a pile of fishing line.
[0:41:02 – 0:41:06] Adam: And it’s just like a solitary hand goes and flips the little switch over.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:07] Adam: All right.
[0:41:07 – 0:41:08] Adam: We’ll let him keep going.
[0:41:08 – 0:41:10] Adam: He’ll allow it for one more night.
[0:41:10 – 0:41:11] Erik: Hopalicious continues.
[0:41:12 – 0:41:17] Erik: Second trip was the September culmination of a seed planted back in episode 62.
[0:41:17 – 0:41:21] Erik: Quote, we should have a group trip out here on Parent Lake.
[0:41:23 – 0:41:24] Erik: Eric and Tori.
[0:41:25 – 0:41:26] Adam: Yes, sir.
[0:41:27 – 0:41:28] Erik: We said that on that?
[0:41:28 – 0:41:29] Erik: I don’t even remember that.
[0:41:30 – 0:41:30] Erik: Damn.
[0:41:31 – 0:41:33] Adam: You got to come now.
[0:41:33 – 0:41:35] Adam: Move that Quetico trip around.
[0:41:35 – 0:41:37] Adam: He’s working them.
[0:41:37 – 0:41:37] Erik: I’m working them.
[0:41:39 – 0:41:40] Erik: I’m massaging the groups.
[0:41:41 – 0:41:42] Erik: Don’t you worry, I’m trying my hardest.
[0:41:42 – 0:41:48] Erik: Dirty Danbot and I had previously discussed a tumble homie trip, so we tossed out the idea on Discord.
[0:41:48 – 0:41:50] Erik: Six other weirdos decided to join us.
[0:41:51 – 0:41:55] Erik: Three in a drop, so it left us with five non-beige lunatics.
[0:41:56 – 0:42:00] Erik: Fosmana, Admiral Gary, Peacod, Zupod, Dirty Danbot, and me.
[0:42:02 – 0:42:07] Erik: Mid-September, we all arrived in Grand Marais for a night on the town and a stay at the local campground.
[0:42:07 – 0:42:10] Erik: Did they stay at the municipal campground?
[0:42:10 – 0:42:10] Erik: They did.
[0:42:10 – 0:42:11] Erik: Oof.
[0:42:12 – 0:42:19] Erik: Fun was had at Voyage Brewing, where we met Acid Diarrhea and a tired dod named…
[0:42:21 – 0:42:21] Adam: Ew.
[0:42:21 – 0:42:22] Adam: I was tired?
[0:42:22 – 0:42:22] Adam: I guess.
[0:42:23 – 0:42:24] Adam: I was full of pep.
[0:42:24 – 0:42:25] Adam: What are you talking about?
[0:42:25 – 0:42:26] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:42:26 – 0:42:29] Adam: You were two weeks removed from a second child in your life.
[0:42:29 – 0:42:33] Adam: I’m sure you were just, yeah, just crackling with energy.
[0:42:33 – 0:42:34] Erik: Yeah, I was electric.
[0:42:34 – 0:42:34] Erik: Yeah.
[0:42:34 – 0:42:36] Erik: The paddle up Hog Creek was great.
[0:42:36 – 0:42:38] Erik: I think we ran into eight beaver dams.
[0:42:38 – 0:42:42] Erik: We made it to parent and landed at what we thought was the Eric and Tori site.
[0:42:42 – 0:42:42] Erik: It wasn’t.
[0:42:44 – 0:42:46] Erik: We were one island to the north.
[0:42:46 – 0:42:47] Erik: It was a great site.
[0:42:48 – 0:42:50] Erik: A rating for sure.
[0:42:50 – 0:42:58] Erik: Decent landings, big flat DCR rock, ample tent pads, infinite hammock potential, and some 5G.
[0:42:58 – 0:43:00] Erik: Sweet, sweet 5G.
[0:43:00 – 0:43:00] Erik: You got it.
[0:43:01 – 0:43:05] Erik: Thunderbox had a lid and a giant erratic to hide your business from the rest of the camp.
[0:43:05 – 0:43:08] Erik: The crown jewel of the site was a giant white pine.
[0:43:09 – 0:43:10] Erik: I always loved that.
[0:43:10 – 0:43:15] Erik: It was the poster child for a U.S. Forestry Service bear hang.
[0:43:16 – 0:43:21] Erik: Got along great, considering we had mostly met each other the previous day.
[0:43:21 – 0:43:27] Erik: Memes were flying with numerous shouts of, so that’s your blank, huh?
[0:43:29 – 0:43:36] Erik: When gear made an appearance, next day we ventured up the Parent River on a mission to the Fungus Lake PMA in Snoozebox Lake.
[0:43:36 – 0:43:44] Erik: Short days got the better of us, so we missed out on a PMA, but we also turned around one portage short of the Pagami Creek fire area.
[0:43:45 – 0:43:50] Erik: Fishing was attempted, but wind and a general lack of effort led to minimal results.
[0:43:51 – 0:43:51] Adam: That’ll happen.
[0:43:51 – 0:43:53] Adam: I hope we’re not rubbing off on people.
[0:43:53 – 0:43:54] Erik: Due to a lack of interest.
[0:43:54 – 0:43:57] Adam: A lack of effort and interest.
[0:43:57 – 0:44:02] Erik: On the last night, creepy night winds pushed us deeper into camp to hover around party lights.
[0:44:02 – 0:44:03] Erik: We then went off to bed.
[0:44:04 – 0:44:06] Erik: There wasn’t a burn ban on when they did that, was there?
[0:44:06 – 0:44:07] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:44:07 – 0:44:07] Erik: I don’t think so.
[0:44:07 – 0:44:11] Erik: We went off to bed and almost immediately my hammock broke.
[0:44:12 – 0:44:13] Erik: That’s right.
[0:44:13 – 0:44:13] Erik: Oh, God.
[0:44:14 – 0:44:21] Erik: Darkness and wind made it difficult to diagnose the failure, so I found a last-minute reservation at Chateau de Dirty Dad Bod.
[0:44:22 – 0:44:24] Erik: Mind if I snuggle up next to you here?
[0:44:25 – 0:44:28] Erik: The next morning, we broke camp, paddled back to the entry point, and waited for us…
[0:44:29 – 0:44:32] Erik: And waiting for us was Bobby and Rex.
[0:44:33 – 0:44:36] Erik: They were wearing jeans and walked under their canoe.
[0:44:37 – 0:44:41] Erik: Bobby had a Bluetooth speaker clipped to his pack and wore a miserable expression.
[0:44:42 – 0:44:45] Erik: Rex seemed oblivious to his misery.
[0:44:46 – 0:44:48] Erik: Culver’s and Two Harbors is where the journey ended.
[0:44:49 – 0:44:53] Erik: It was a great time, an absolute disaster, and I look forward to more of the same in 2025.
[0:44:53 – 0:44:53] Erik: People!
[0:44:55 – 0:45:23] Erik: Hashtag Long Island 2025 Hashtag absolute disaster Absolute disaster You’re all lucky you survived TLDR Wood Gnome Wood Gnome just comes out That’s what I was going to write down Wood is a beautiful lake But not ideal for a solo trip Tell them the Lomi trips are fun That’s what I was going to write down I was listening to 278 on the way over here Better get it out Before you forget again
[0:45:24 – 0:45:27] Adam: It was that something about wood.
[0:45:27 – 0:45:28] Adam: Oh, he’s forgotten already.
[0:45:29 – 0:45:34] Adam: Hatchet and axe etiquette and kindling techniques that I wanted to add to.
[0:45:34 – 0:45:38] Adam: I have a note in my phone just for future episode ideas.
[0:45:38 – 0:45:39] Erik: 2026.
[0:45:39 – 0:45:44] Adam: And I hadn’t written it down, so I got to make sure I do that because otherwise it’s never going to happen.
[0:45:45 – 0:45:45] Adam: Kindling.
[0:45:46 – 0:45:47] Adam: It’s the future.
[0:45:48 – 0:45:48] Adam: Kindling.
[0:45:49 – 0:45:50] Erik: Plastics.
[0:45:50 – 0:45:51] Erik: Plastics.
[0:45:53 – 0:45:55] Adam: I reallocated some of my portfolio around.
[0:45:55 – 0:45:58] Adam: I got myself into some really exciting kindling stocks.
[0:45:58 – 0:45:58] Erik: Nice.
[0:45:59 – 0:45:59] Adam: Yeah.
[0:46:00 – 0:46:01] Adam: Fatwood.
[0:46:01 – 0:46:02] Adam: Yeah.
[0:46:02 – 0:46:03] Adam: It’s all that kind of stuff.
[0:46:03 – 0:46:03] Adam: Yeah.
[0:46:03 – 0:46:05] Adam: There’s a whole industry out there.
[0:46:05 – 0:46:06] Adam: Magical.
[0:46:06 – 0:46:07] Adam: Cedar between the knots.
[0:46:08 – 0:46:08] Adam: This is the stuff.
[0:46:08 – 0:46:10] Adam: Where do they dip in this stuff in?
[0:46:10 – 0:46:12] Adam: Proprietary blends of dips everywhere.
[0:46:13 – 0:46:16] Erik: Give me a 12-inch log of cedar between the knots.
[0:46:17 – 0:46:18] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:46:18 – 0:46:20] Erik: I’ll split that down to toothpick size.
[0:46:21 – 0:46:22] Erik: I love it.
[0:46:22 – 0:46:22] Adam: I’ve seen you do it.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:23] Adam: Oh, yeah.
[0:46:23 – 0:46:24] Adam: I’ve seen you do it.
[0:46:24 – 0:46:25] Adam: Just tap, tap.
[0:46:25 – 0:46:25] Adam: Yeah.
[0:46:28 – 0:46:33] Adam: It just snaps itself loose from the log.
[0:46:33 – 0:46:37] Erik: There are some sweet, sweet sounds in this life.
[0:46:37 – 0:46:50] Erik: And the sound of a perfectly kindled piece of cedar splitting away from a solid chunk of wood like that, that will always make me happy.
[0:46:51 – 0:46:59] Adam: Yeah, one of my favorites is when you’re splicing kindling like that and you catch the piece as it flies over the side.
[0:46:59 – 0:47:00] Adam: Got it.
[0:47:01 – 0:47:02] Adam: Lickety split.
[0:47:03 – 0:47:03] Adam: Got it.
[0:47:04 – 0:47:05] Adam: Coming up next on the show…
[0:47:07 – 0:47:12] Adam: Two months ago, dear… Everyone’s still surprised.
[0:47:12 – 0:47:12] Erik: What?
[0:47:13 – 0:47:14] Adam: They’re all two months ago.
[0:47:14 – 0:47:15] Adam: This is crazy.
[0:47:15 – 0:47:17] Adam: How is this possible?
[0:47:17 – 0:47:22] Adam: Dear friend of the show, Blueberry Bannock, part of the Bannock Crips.
[0:47:25 – 0:47:27] Adam: No, the Bannocks would be the Bloods.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:28] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:28 – 0:47:31] Adam: And the Pizza Biters would be the Crips.
[0:47:31 – 0:47:31] Admiral Geary: Mm-hmm.
[0:47:32 – 0:47:32] Adam: Yeah.
[0:47:33 – 0:47:33] Adam: Sure.
[0:47:34 – 0:47:36] Adam: Thanks for your comment.
[0:47:36 – 0:47:39] Adam: Only one trip for me this year, but it was excellent.
[0:47:40 – 0:47:44] Adam: Four days on Brulai in mid-May with my dad and three-year-old son.
[0:47:45 – 0:47:46] Adam: Camped on an island site.
[0:47:46 – 0:47:47] Adam: I forget the number.
[0:47:48 – 0:47:50] Adam: We only saw one other canoe the entire trip.
[0:47:50 – 0:47:56] Adam: Caught some fish, enjoyed some great food, hiking, tent time, and my son loved it.
[0:47:57 – 0:48:03] Adam: We ended up leaving one night earlier than expected and car camping at Baker Lake to avoid paddling out during a thunderstorm.
[0:48:04 – 0:48:09] Adam: As much as I don’t like technology, a hand crank weather radio is nice to have.
[0:48:10 – 0:48:17] Adam: Hoping to get my one year old daughter along next year and maybe a winter lake trout trip this January or February.
[0:48:18 – 0:48:20] Adam: Hey, so you’re out there right now?
[0:48:22 – 0:48:25] Adam: Jigging up a 26-inch lake trout, probably.
[0:48:25 – 0:48:26] Adam: Congratulations.
[0:48:26 – 0:48:26] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:48:26 – 0:48:28] Erik: There’s something about the hand crank radio.
[0:48:28 – 0:48:37] Erik: Yes, it is technology and you’re connecting yourself to the outside world, but it’s so kind of like a nice bridge between technology and…
[0:48:39 – 0:48:41] CheapDancer: Still feeling nostalgic.
[0:48:42 – 0:48:44] Erik: It’s not like you can just turn it on.
[0:48:44 – 0:48:48] Erik: You touch a blank flat screen and you’re like…
[0:48:49 – 0:48:50] Erik: It’s like you have to crank it.
[0:48:50 – 0:48:52] Erik: You want to actually get the radio?
[0:48:52 – 0:48:58] Erik: You got to work for it a little bit and then it’s still just radio.
[0:48:58 – 0:49:02] Erik: It’s not like a TikTok stream or like a YouTube channel.
[0:49:02 – 0:49:03] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:49:03 – 0:49:06] Erik: I’ve never been too bothered by the hand crank radio and it’s a weather radio.
[0:49:06 – 0:49:09] Erik: You can always be like, yeah, well, what if the weather picks up?
[0:49:09 – 0:49:13] Adam: It’s not like you’re going to be able to play Dark Side of the Moon really loud at 11 at night.
[0:49:13 – 0:49:15] Adam: Not unless you can find a radio station that’s playing it.
[0:49:16 – 0:49:17] Adam: That would be amazing.
[0:49:17 – 0:49:18] Adam: What a great station.
[0:49:18 – 0:49:20] Adam: What a great station that would be.
[0:49:20 – 0:49:21] Adam: I know.
[0:49:21 – 0:49:24] Adam: I don’t think that it counts as full-on tech.
[0:49:25 – 0:49:26] Erik: No, I don’t think so.
[0:49:26 – 0:49:27] Erik: I don’t think we’ve ever said that.
[0:49:27 – 0:49:29] Adam: No way.
[0:49:30 – 0:49:36] Adam: We got new phones recently, and now the new phones have satellite texting.
[0:49:37 – 0:49:38] Adam: Do you hear about this?
[0:49:39 – 0:49:42] Erik: It just means you can wherever you are.
[0:49:42 – 0:49:43] Adam: It’s free until July.
[0:49:45 – 0:49:45] Adam: What?
[0:49:46 – 0:49:46] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:49:46 – 0:49:53] Erik: That was just the joke from the Superbowl where it was like, there was an ad where it was like, Starlink now teaming up with T-Mobile.
[0:49:53 – 0:49:53] Erik: Sign up now.
[0:49:54 – 0:49:55] Erik: Free until July.
[0:49:55 – 0:49:56] Adam: I was like, what happens in July?
[0:49:56 – 0:49:57] Adam: Nothing good.
[0:49:57 – 0:49:59] Adam: They come for your nuts or what?
[0:49:59 – 0:49:59] Adam: Jesus.
[0:50:00 – 0:50:03] Adam: That’s when the revolution really begins.
[0:50:03 – 0:50:03] Adam: Yeah, probably.
[0:50:04 – 0:50:04] Adam: Um,
[0:50:04 – 0:50:11] Adam: No, like we got the iPhone 16s and it’s got satellite texting now.
[0:50:11 – 0:50:11] Erik: Sure.
[0:50:12 – 0:50:21] Adam: So like you remember one of the years at Pronto Pup when Natalie was pregnant, I was like, I got to like rent a Garmin GPS thing to be out there for the day.
[0:50:21 – 0:50:28] Adam: So like I have in case like I got to make a run to the hospital, like I can be contacted in the middle of nowhere.
[0:50:29 – 0:50:33] Adam: And, you know, when I first moved up here, I was like, I’m going to blow up.
[0:50:33 – 0:50:54] Adam: you know cell phone towers and you know i’m going full hey duke but you know things change and you need to be able to like be in contact with your loved ones and uh so i’d been like it’s like it’s not cheap to like own one of those garmin things or like to rent them especially just for like a
[0:50:56 – 0:51:05] Adam: But it had always been in my mind, like I probably end up getting one now that we got the kids and like being out in the field with them and, you know, your priorities in life do change.
[0:51:05 – 0:51:07] Adam: So anyways, now the phone just does that.
[0:51:07 – 0:51:08] Erik: Yeah.
[0:51:08 – 0:51:12] Adam: You don’t have to have a separate like puck or a thing that, you know, is talking to the satellite.
[0:51:13 – 0:51:15] Adam: When we were up at the mail run, it was the first time I actually tested it.
[0:51:15 – 0:51:17] Adam: We were out in the middle of nowhere, definitely no signal.
[0:51:18 – 0:51:25] Adam: And so when you like fire up the, you like open up the messenger app or whatever, the text app, it just says like connect to satellite.
[0:51:26 – 0:51:32] Adam: You hit the button, it like zooms in on your position on a little map on the globe and then says like satellite will be here in two minutes.
[0:51:32 – 0:51:33] Adam: Hold on.
[0:51:33 – 0:51:33] Adam: Oh boy.
[0:51:33 – 0:51:38] Adam: And then it just connected and then you could send some text or receive text and turn it off.
[0:51:38 – 0:51:44] Adam: So I don’t know anybody out there is in a position in their life where they would like that level of technology.
[0:51:44 – 0:51:46] Adam: That’s certainly a big step up from the hand crank radio.
[0:51:47 – 0:51:57] Adam: yeah i’m conflicted about having it in my pocket sure i mean i don’t know it is good to know that like you have to turn it on or off manually it’s not like it’s always on which is nice
[0:51:58 – 0:52:01] Erik: We’ve done enough trips in our life with nothing.
[0:52:01 – 0:52:05] Adam: Yeah, like an alarming amount of trips with just no tether whatsoever.
[0:52:05 – 0:52:09] Erik: Which is, you know, in retrospect, like insanity.
[0:52:10 – 0:52:13] Erik: But that’s also if you couch it in like the reality of our lives today.
[0:52:13 – 0:52:16] Erik: Like when we did it, you know, we weren’t just derelict.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:17] Erik: Didn’t matter.
[0:52:17 – 0:52:19] Erik: Nobody would have cared if we died.
[0:52:19 – 0:52:20] Erik: No.
[0:52:20 – 0:52:21] Erik: Mom may have cried.
[0:52:21 – 0:52:22] Erik: I don’t know.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:22] Erik: Maybe not.
[0:52:22 – 0:52:22] Adam: Yeah.
[0:52:23 – 0:52:25] Adam: Both of our mothers would definitely have cried.
[0:52:25 – 0:52:26] Adam: But you know what I’m saying?
[0:52:26 – 0:52:27] Erik: Yeah.
[0:52:27 – 0:52:28] Erik: Nobody was depending on us.
[0:52:29 – 0:52:30] Adam: Yeah, no, that’s true.
[0:52:30 – 0:52:35] Erik: But nowadays, nobody’s really depending on me, but many people… We’re all depending on you, Eric.
[0:52:36 – 0:52:36] Erik: Yeah, sure.
[0:52:37 – 0:52:38] Erik: Who’s going to upload the fucking podcast?
[0:52:38 – 0:52:40] Adam: I don’t know the password.
[0:52:40 – 0:52:42] Adam: I don’t even know how to get into the Patreon.
[0:52:42 – 0:52:42] Adam: Yeah.
[0:52:43 – 0:52:46] Adam: But, you know… Don’t you dare leave me, you son of a bitch.
[0:52:46 – 0:52:48] Erik: But yeah, it’s much more important now.
[0:52:48 – 0:52:51] Erik: It feels a little bit more… Yeah, as you get older, you know what?
[0:52:51 – 0:52:51] Erik: It’s not that…
[0:52:51 – 0:52:55] Erik: But it’s also not one of those things where you’re not using it to like…
[0:52:56 – 0:53:17] Adam: yeah as of right now you you can’t like connect to your apps and like get onto your uh you know picture apps or whatever so yeah but like it worked and i was able to like just connect on and be like yeah hey uh we missed all the dog teams we’re gonna hang out for a bit and then uh we’ll see what happens uh 10-4 over and out yeah and it went through um
[0:53:18 – 0:53:20] Adam: Pretty amazing.
[0:53:21 – 0:53:23] Adam: There’s no extra charge whatsoever.
[0:53:23 – 0:53:24] Adam: It just counts.
[0:53:25 – 0:53:26] Adam: I have that now.
[0:53:26 – 0:53:27] Adam: I have that ability.
[0:53:27 – 0:53:30] Adam: I don’t know how I feel about it, but it is pretty amazing.
[0:53:31 – 0:53:35] Adam: If you’re in the position where you want to contact outside, check in.
[0:53:37 – 0:53:38] Adam: I don’t know.
[0:53:38 – 0:53:53] Adam: It will make me feel a little bit better about being away when the little kids are home or bringing the little kids with me, which is ultimately what I would like to do is to get the babies out in the park.
[0:53:54 – 0:53:54] Adam: Baby.
[0:53:54 – 0:53:55] Erik: Baby.
[0:53:55 – 0:53:57] Adam: I’ll go one more here.
[0:53:57 – 0:53:58] Adam: Yeah, I ran a long one.
[0:53:58 – 0:53:59] Adam: I’m juiced up.
[0:53:59 – 0:54:00] Adam: Let’s go.
[0:54:00 – 0:54:05] Adam: Next up on the show, I’m in too deep two months ago.
[0:54:06 – 0:54:06] Adam: What?
[0:54:07 – 0:54:30] Erik: the hell i’m gonna have a sip of my big eddie before i jump into this one these are pretty serious yeah i mean you better have one of them i can’t have all three of these i maybe hey if you guys want to tune in to what it sounds like after a couple of these go down my gullet you’re gonna have to pay five bucks a month and i’m not cracking one of these until we’re on the patreon i’m sorry i have to read
[0:54:31 – 0:54:36] Adam: $500 a month, you can get our landline number, and we’ll tell you how we really think.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:37] Erik: Oh, yeah.
[0:54:37 – 0:54:39] Erik: We were talking about that before.
[0:54:39 – 0:54:43] Adam: We’ll tell you what we really think about Anja Maima.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:43] Erik: Oh, no.
[0:54:43 – 0:54:44] Adam: I’ve said too much.
[0:54:44 – 0:54:45] Adam: Oh, no.
[0:54:46 – 0:54:57] Adam: Our number is 1-218-370-Pillsbury-Doughboy, this thing, and we’re not giving that out right now.
[0:54:57 – 0:54:59] Adam: For a second, that sounded like a real number.
[0:54:59 – 0:55:02] Adam: I did acquire the number, though, so yeah.
[0:55:02 – 0:55:03] Adam: 50 bucks a month.
[0:55:03 – 0:55:03] Adam: You got a number?
[0:55:04 – 0:55:07] Adam: You can pay for our phone bill, and you can call us anytime you want.
[0:55:08 – 0:55:08] Erik: A landline?
[0:55:08 – 0:55:09] Erik: You got a landline?
[0:55:09 – 0:55:09] Erik: Yeah.
[0:55:10 – 0:55:10] Erik: Yeah, baby.
[0:55:11 – 0:55:13] Erik: Wouldn’t it be a 387 or a 370 Grammaray?
[0:55:14 – 0:55:15] Erik: No, I’m just joking around.
[0:55:15 – 0:55:16] Erik: Well, I know.
[0:55:16 – 0:55:18] Adam: It probably would be a 387.
[0:55:19 – 0:55:20] Adam: There’s plenty of 387s still available.
[0:55:21 – 0:55:22] Adam: Sure.
[0:55:22 – 0:55:24] Adam: The 370s are always the cell phone numbers.
[0:55:24 – 0:55:26] Erik: All the coveted 388s are gone, though.
[0:55:26 – 0:55:28] Adam: Yeah, you can’t get those anymore.
[0:55:28 – 0:55:28] Adam: Nope.
[0:55:29 – 0:55:29] Adam: You trail rat.
[0:55:30 – 0:55:31] Adam: I’m in too deep.
[0:55:31 – 0:55:36] Adam: Two months ago, I was lucky enough to get into the boundary waters three times this year.
[0:55:36 – 0:55:39] Adam: The first was a lake trout expedition out of Round Lake.
[0:55:40 – 0:55:42] Adam: The first day was the most challenging.
[0:55:42 – 0:55:48] Adam: We arrived at Binshik, tired and ready to be done for the day, only to find the two campsites occupied.
[0:55:49 – 0:55:49] Adam: What?
[0:55:49 – 0:55:53] Adam: You’ve been Binshik’d.
[0:55:53 – 0:55:55] Adam: Round to Binshik.
[0:55:55 – 0:55:56] Adam: That’s a nutty day.
[0:55:56 – 0:55:57] Erik: That is a weird day.
[0:55:58 – 0:56:03] Adam: As we continued on, our 73-year-old trip member slipped on a portage and rolled his ankle badly.
[0:56:04 – 0:56:08] Adam: Rather than see us turn back, he hobbled along the next portage and injured even worse than before.
[0:56:09 – 0:56:15] Adam: But unwilling to stop the trip, he continued on, and we didn’t let him carry packs anymore.
[0:56:15 – 0:56:20] Adam: When we finally arrived at French, he fell out of the SS Chuck Kennedy and ripped his thumbnail.
[0:56:22 – 0:56:23] Adam: It was a bad day for him.
[0:56:24 – 0:56:27] Adam: We caught and ate a couple of fish from camp to ease his pain.
[0:56:27 – 0:56:31] Adam: He slowly got better the rest of the trip and we had a great time.
[0:56:32 – 0:56:33] Adam: Many fish were consumed.
[0:56:35 – 0:56:38] Adam: Later in the summer, I took a three-day trip with my son.
[0:56:38 – 0:56:41] Adam: The first day was nothing but stiff headwinds and constant rain.
[0:56:41 – 0:56:49] Adam: Just as we found a nice site, the rain abated just long enough to get camp set up and dinner cooked.
[0:56:49 – 0:56:52] Adam: In the morning, we woke up to better weather and decent fishing.
[0:56:52 – 0:56:59] Adam: I deemed one of the portages that has a stone-constructed walkway on the edge of the river to be my new favorite portage.
[0:56:59 – 0:57:00] Adam: Yes.
[0:57:00 – 0:57:01] Adam: Where is this?
[0:57:02 – 0:57:03] Adam: This is on the Granite River.
[0:57:03 – 0:57:06] Adam: Nice was spelled with a G earlier there.
[0:57:07 – 0:57:08] Adam: That was the clue.
[0:57:08 – 0:57:08] Adam: Sure.
[0:57:09 – 0:57:13] Adam: And yeah, you know the one as you’re nearing the sag.
[0:57:13 – 0:57:17] Adam: There’s that one where it used to be where you just had to wade through the…
[0:57:18 – 0:57:22] Adam: the river, basically, during high water, and now there’s sort of like a stonework on the right side.
[0:57:22 – 0:57:29] Adam: I deemed one of the portages, the stone-constructed walkway on the edge of the river, to be my new favorite.
[0:57:29 – 0:57:33] Adam: It’s on the north end of the Marabouf and just really neat.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:35] Adam: I know the one.
[0:57:35 – 0:57:36] Adam: It is really neat.
[0:57:36 – 0:57:41] Adam: My biggest trip of the year was paddling solo along the border from International Falls to Lake Superior.
[0:57:41 – 0:57:43] Adam: Oh, my.
[0:57:43 – 0:57:44] Adam: We buried the lead.
[0:57:44 – 0:57:45] Adam: Yeah.
[0:57:46 – 0:57:47] Adam: Well, this guy…
[0:57:49 – 0:57:49] Adam: Alone?
[0:57:49 – 0:57:49] Adam: Alone?
[0:58:12 – 0:58:12] Adam: Alone.
[0:58:12 – 0:58:13] Adam: Together.
[0:58:13 – 0:58:14] Adam: Alone.
[0:58:14 – 0:58:15] Erik: I don’t know if I could do it alone.
[0:58:16 – 0:58:17] Adam: Graham Portage alone.
[0:58:17 – 0:58:19] Adam: Table Rock alone.
[0:58:19 – 0:58:21] Adam: How are you going to play hacky sack with yourself?
[0:58:21 – 0:58:27] Erik: You just learn deep thigh pumping.
[0:58:27 – 0:58:29] Erik: Just keep it up with the thigh.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:29] Erik: Coo.
[0:58:29 – 0:58:30] Erik: Coo.
[0:58:30 – 0:58:30] Erik: Coo.
[0:58:31 – 0:58:32] Erik: It’s all you got.
[0:58:32 – 0:58:32] Erik: It’s all you can do.
[0:58:33 – 0:58:34] Adam: All knee.
[0:58:34 – 0:58:34] Adam: Power knee.
[0:58:34 – 0:58:35] Adam: Power knee.
[0:58:36 – 0:58:39] Adam: Do you think there’s a chiptune version of Float On out there?
[0:58:39 – 0:58:40] Adam: There’s got to be.
[0:58:40 – 0:58:43] Adam: We’ve probably already used it, I think.
[0:58:43 – 0:58:44] Adam: I know we have.
[0:58:44 – 0:58:45] Adam: We already did that one.
[0:58:45 – 0:58:48] Adam: There we go, sir.
[0:58:49 – 0:58:50] Erik: Thank you for the comment.
[0:58:50 – 0:58:51] Erik: Strange Brew.
[0:58:51 – 0:58:51] Erik: 0105.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:52] Erik: Two months ago.
[0:58:52 – 0:58:52] Erik: One trip.
[0:59:01 – 0:59:06] Erik: to the B-Dub this year, and the first morning of the trip will stand out in my memory.
[0:59:07 – 0:59:13] Erik: We were scheduled to enter on the last Thursday in June at the Slim Lake entry point.
[0:59:14 – 0:59:22] Erik: One week prior was the historic rainfall event, and the North Arm Road along Burnside was washed out in several areas.
[0:59:23 – 0:59:26] Erik: North Arm Road provides access to the Slim Lake entry point.
[0:59:27 – 0:59:30] Erik: So, unsurprisingly, Slim Lake was temporarily closed.
[0:59:31 – 0:59:38] Erik: All that week prior, I was closely monitoring the Forest Service updates and considered finding an alternative entry point.
[0:59:39 – 0:59:44] Erik: Very few EPs were available, and the only one I considered was Crab Lake.
[0:59:45 – 0:59:46] Erik: Crabs?
[0:59:46 – 0:59:47] Erik: Hmm.
[0:59:48 – 0:59:51] Erik: But I’ve been on that first portage, and it’s a doozy.
[0:59:52 – 0:59:53] Adam: Nah, it’s all right.
[0:59:53 – 0:59:54] Erik: It’s all right.
[0:59:54 – 0:59:57] Erik: Just going to mind that muck hole halfway across.
[0:59:57 – 1:00:00] Adam: Yeah, it’s just a two portages in one kind of deal.
[1:00:00 – 1:00:01] Erik: Yeah, two for one.
[1:00:02 – 1:00:04] Erik: Not wanting to subject my wife and young kids to that.
[1:00:05 – 1:00:08] Erik: Okay, well, that changes the equation.
[1:00:08 – 1:00:11] Erik: I gambled and held on to the Slim Lake permit.
[1:00:12 – 1:00:15] Erik: I even emailed the Forest Service, and they were very responsive.
[1:00:15 – 1:00:16] Erik: They were?
[1:00:16 – 1:00:18] CheapDancer: I don’t think so.
[1:00:18 – 1:00:19] CheapDancer: What else do they got going on?
[1:00:20 – 1:00:26] Erik: They’re sitting around craving, just waiting for emails to come in to respond to, to say, no, you can’t do that.
[1:00:26 – 1:00:27] Erik: How dare you?
[1:00:27 – 1:00:29] Erik: How dare you even ask?
[1:00:29 – 1:00:35] Erik: A few days prior, they announced that the North Arm Road was fixed and Slim Lake would open up back on our entry.
[1:00:35 – 1:00:37] Adam: I guess it wasn’t fixed.
[1:00:37 – 1:00:40] Erik: Well, he said, continuing on, we were thrilled.
[1:00:41 – 1:00:43] Erik: Oh, no.
[1:00:43 – 1:00:46] Erik: This also meant that we would have our pick of campsites.
[1:00:46 – 1:00:50] Erik: Yeah, that stands to reason on the Slim Lake chain.
[1:00:51 – 1:00:58] Erik: When we picked up our permit, the ranger said that we may have to park on North Arm Road as the road back to Slim Lake was still closed.
[1:00:59 – 1:01:04] Erik: Not the end of the world, I thought, and would only add 100 or so rods to the 90 rod actual entry portage.
[1:01:07 – 1:01:09] Adam: I don’t like where this is going.
[1:01:09 – 1:01:11] Erik: It’s these entry portage lakes, Eric.
[1:01:11 – 1:01:12] Erik: We’re going to find out.
[1:01:12 – 1:01:15] Erik: We got to the Slim Lake Access Road and sure enough, it was closed.
[1:01:16 – 1:01:16] Erik: No way.
[1:01:16 – 1:01:26] Erik: I wasn’t too keen on parking along North Arm Road as it still had some repair trucks buzzing by and gets a lot of traffic from the YMCA camps.
[1:01:27 – 1:01:30] Erik: We got out of my truck and the mosquitoes were biblical.
[1:01:31 – 1:01:35] Erik: They were especially bad because there was a running creek along the side of the road.
[1:01:36 – 1:01:42] Erik: We started getting our gear organized for the trek back to the actual entry point, but my wife and kids were not having the bugs.
[1:01:43 – 1:01:47] Erik: My wife and son just grabbed all the gear they could hold and started towards the Slim Lake entry point.
[1:01:48 – 1:01:55] Erik: I kept organizing what would be my first load while my daughter and dog waited in the truck.
[1:01:56 – 1:01:58] Erik: One minute later, a Forest Service truck drove by.
[1:01:59 – 1:02:05] Erik: I flagged him down, and he said he was checking on how the north arm repairs were holding out.
[1:02:06 – 1:02:08] Erik: I asked him if it was okay to park where I was.
[1:02:09 – 1:02:20] Erik: He looked at our predicament on the side of the ditch and then wrote the road closed sign for the slim lake access while swatting the bugs from his mouth and said, I’m going to open this back up for you.
[1:02:21 – 1:02:23] Erik: Let me make a few calls to confirm.
[1:02:24 – 1:02:31] Erik: Five minutes later, he pulled the barricades and we were able to park at the actual entry point and save, saved us 100 rods.
[1:02:32 – 1:02:35] Erik: The bugs were way less intense up the proper parking area,
[1:02:35 – 1:02:37] Erik: and weren’t that bad the rest of the trip.
[1:02:37 – 1:02:39] Adam: The bugs were waiting for the sign, too.
[1:02:40 – 1:02:42] Erik: Yeah, they’re all just backed up at the barricade.
[1:02:42 – 1:02:42] Adam: Yeah.
[1:02:43 – 1:02:56] Erik: It was a memorable start to the trip, and I will remember the hard work the local road crews did getting everything back up and running, and the kindness of that Forest Service ranger for opening up the slim access road while we stood in the ditch.
[1:02:58 – 1:02:59] Adam: What a story.
[1:02:59 – 1:03:01] Adam: Yeah, I guess.
[1:03:01 – 1:03:02] Adam: Thank you, government.
[1:03:04 – 1:03:05] Erik: Yeah, thank you, government.
[1:03:05 – 1:03:11] Erik: If I never have to read the Slim Lake entry point ever again in the rest of this episode, I will be happy.
[1:03:12 – 1:03:13] Adam: Slim Lake.
[1:03:13 – 1:03:15] Erik: Slim Lake.
[1:03:15 – 1:03:15] Erik: Where are we at here?
[1:03:15 – 1:03:18] Adam: We’ve never been to the Slim Lake entry point.
[1:03:18 – 1:03:18] Erik: No.
[1:03:19 – 1:03:21] Erik: It’s a little too… Yeah, it’s over in that…
[1:03:21 – 1:03:22] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:03:23 – 1:03:25] Erik: Do we ever have a name for that unit?
[1:03:26 – 1:03:30] Erik: The western unit that we’ve been to once on the Crab Lake trip.
[1:03:30 – 1:03:31] Adam: It’s the Rangoon.
[1:03:32 – 1:03:34] Erik: The Crab Rangoon unit.
[1:03:34 – 1:03:35] Erik: The Rangoon unit.
[1:03:37 – 1:03:38] Adam: It’s the anti-Vento.
[1:03:38 – 1:03:40] Erik: Yeah, it is.
[1:03:41 – 1:03:42] Erik: Bizarro Vento.
[1:03:42 – 1:03:42] Adam: Yeah.
[1:03:43 – 1:03:44] Adam: It’s filled with crabs.
[1:03:44 – 1:03:46] Adam: Just all flat, boggy.
[1:03:46 – 1:03:47] Adam: Ponderosa pine.
[1:03:47 – 1:03:54] Adam: Riddled with jack pine and oak trees and weird meat.
[1:03:56 – 1:04:05] Erik: That’s what you get for spending 30 minutes talking about crypt walking.
[1:04:05 – 1:04:07] Adam: Why did you bring that up?
[1:04:08 – 1:04:09] Erik: Yeah, that’s funny.
[1:04:10 – 1:04:13] Adam: Well, I don’t know.
[1:04:13 – 1:04:15] Adam: This has been a pretty good practice run.
[1:04:16 – 1:04:19] Adam: I think we should probably hit record and probably start this episode for real at this point.
[1:04:19 – 1:04:20] Adam: What do you think?
[1:04:20 – 1:04:20] Adam: Start it proper?
[1:04:21 – 1:04:21] Adam: Yeah.
[1:04:21 – 1:04:22] Adam: Okay.
[1:04:22 – 1:04:23] Adam: I’m going to actually hit record now.
[1:04:23 – 1:04:24] Adam: Two, one.
[1:04:25 – 1:04:40] Adam: All right, next up on the show, episode 279 of Tumble Home is dear friend of the show, Squatch Hunted, throwing rocks out of the woods two months ago, and it was also edited two months ago.
[1:04:40 – 1:04:41] Adam: You maniac.
[1:04:41 – 1:04:41] Adam: You maniac.
[1:04:42 – 1:04:44] Adam: What was your highlight of the year?
[1:04:46 – 1:04:48] Adam: I managed to make two trips this year.
[1:04:49 – 1:04:56] Adam: At the end of July, six of us entered at Liz Lake and paddled down to Horseshoe for a couple days, then stayed a couple nights on Caribou.
[1:04:57 – 1:05:00] Adam: We had a sweet sight on each lake and saw a moose on Horseshoe.
[1:05:01 – 1:05:07] Adam: It was my 13-year-old daughter’s first trip, and she had a blast, except for the time a horsefly landed on her hand while fishing.
[1:05:07 – 1:05:11] Erik: God forbid.
[1:05:11 – 1:05:12] Erik: Unbelievable.
[1:05:13 – 1:05:18] Adam: She’s ready to spend some time over Christmas break planning next summer’s trip.
[1:05:18 – 1:05:28] Adam: I tried sky sleeping for the first time and got one night in the air before the librarian wife booted me back to the tent and stole the hammock for the rest of the trip.
[1:05:28 – 1:05:29] Adam: Oh, wow.
[1:05:29 – 1:05:32] Adam: So I guess I needed two more hammocks for next year, too.
[1:05:33 – 1:05:41] Adam: Somewhere on here, our BWCA shared that Walmart was clearing out their bug shelters and I got one of them for 20 buckaroos.
[1:05:42 – 1:05:43] Adam: Game changer.
[1:05:44 – 1:05:46] Adam: G-g-g-game changer!
[1:05:47 – 1:05:51] Adam: We could retreat into the shelter when the Mazis came out and hide until they went away.
[1:05:52 – 1:05:56] Adam: We got some great shots of the night sky and invisible vindelays.
[1:05:57 – 1:05:59] Adam: The second trip was during October and the fire ban.
[1:06:00 – 1:06:03] Adam: Gomer and I drove up for a quick weekend on the Kawishui River.
[1:06:04 – 1:06:07] Adam: The first night, the Vindley’s were out in full force.
[1:06:07 – 1:06:14] Adam: It was amazing, except for we drank the entire weekend’s whiskey and had to run back to Ely the next day for a resupply.
[1:06:14 – 1:06:15] Adam: That’ll happen.
[1:06:15 – 1:06:16] Adam: Yeah, that was Vindley’s.
[1:06:17 – 1:06:18] Erik: It’s been a weird…
[1:06:21 – 1:06:26] Erik: Like, I feel like we were riding hot and heavy on the Vindleys this last fall.
[1:06:26 – 1:06:26] Adam: Yeah.
[1:06:26 – 1:06:27] Adam: And it’s been dead.
[1:06:27 – 1:06:28] Erik: Yeah.
[1:06:28 – 1:06:28] Adam: Where are they?
[1:06:29 – 1:06:29] Erik: I don’t know.
[1:06:29 – 1:06:30] Erik: It’s so weird.
[1:06:30 – 1:06:33] Erik: I feel like we were heading into a… We’re in Solar Max.
[1:06:33 – 1:06:36] Erik: We’re heading in like 2025.
[1:06:36 – 1:06:38] Erik: This is Solar Max this year.
[1:06:39 – 1:06:39] Adam: It checks out.
[1:06:40 – 1:06:40] Erik: Dead.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:41] Adam: Nothing.
[1:06:41 – 1:06:42] Erik: Nothing.
[1:06:42 – 1:06:42] Erik: What the hell?
[1:06:43 – 1:06:45] Adam: I mean, you know, there aren’t that many clear nights.
[1:06:46 – 1:06:49] Erik: But still, there hasn’t even been like a, ooh, maybe it’ll be good.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:49] Erik: Oh, well, it’s cloudy.
[1:06:49 – 1:06:50] Erik: It’s cloudy.
[1:06:50 – 1:06:51] Adam: Yeah, no.
[1:06:51 – 1:06:51] Adam: Sure enough.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:52] Erik: Sorry.
[1:06:52 – 1:06:53] Adam: Anyway.
[1:06:53 – 1:06:58] Adam: We were still able to cook up some biters over the camp stove since we couldn’t have a fire.
[1:06:59 – 1:07:02] Adam: Without the wife along, I was able to sky sleep all weekend.
[1:07:03 – 1:07:07] Adam: I don’t think I’ll return to ground pounding anytime soon.
[1:07:07 – 1:07:09] Adam: Hashtag PBNash.
[1:07:09 – 1:07:10] Adam: You’ve got a convert.
[1:07:11 – 1:07:11] Erik: There we go.
[1:07:11 – 1:07:12] Erik: We did it.
[1:07:12 – 1:07:14] Erik: One more on our side.
[1:07:16 – 1:07:17] Erik: Speaking of the Crips and the Bloods.
[1:07:17 – 1:07:22] Adam: Yeah, well, the Crips are definitely in the hammocks for sure.
[1:07:22 – 1:07:24] Erik: Yeah, they seem like they would be.
[1:07:24 – 1:07:26] Adam: You can’t crip walk in a tent.
[1:07:26 – 1:07:28] Adam: You can definitely do it in a hammock, though, Eric.
[1:07:29 – 1:07:29] Erik: Can you?
[1:07:30 – 1:07:30] Adam: Yeah.
[1:07:31 – 1:07:32] Adam: Heels down and slide, baby.
[1:07:32 – 1:07:33] Erik: Okay.
[1:07:34 – 1:07:34] Adam: Hands in the air.
[1:07:36 – 1:07:39] Adam: Like you just don’t care.
[1:07:40 – 1:07:42] Erik: Artificial underscore appendix one.
[1:07:45 – 1:07:46] Erik: Sometimes.
[1:07:47 – 1:07:49] Adam: Need a Dr. Pepper zero sugar for this read?
[1:07:49 – 1:07:52] Erik: No, I’m going to save that for never.
[1:07:52 – 1:07:55] Erik: Tumbalone.
[1:07:55 – 1:08:00] Erik: Sometimes the BWCA provides the therapy you didn’t know you needed.
[1:08:01 – 1:08:01] Erik: Well said.
[1:08:02 – 1:08:05] Erik: I did a solo trip to the numbered lakes somewhat on a whim.
[1:08:07 – 1:08:10] Erik: I’m a busy guy with job and family here in the Twin Cities.
[1:08:10 – 1:08:17] Erik: Grabbed a permit for Lake 1 and left for Ely at 4.30am and was launching from the entry point by 10.
[1:08:18 – 1:08:18] Erik: Pretty good.
[1:08:19 – 1:08:23] Erik: I grabbed the first sight I saw, first sight in the Northeast Bay, and set up camp.
[1:08:24 – 1:08:30] Erik: There was a distinct moment after spending a busy hour setting up where I thought, okay, now what?
[1:08:31 – 1:08:34] Erik: I had a sigh of relief when I realized I could do whatever I wanted.
[1:08:34 – 1:09:01] Erik: at that moment nudity including nothing at all and also taking my pants off no that was uh added so did very little for the next 48 hours and drove back to minneapolis a much more relaxed person now i plan to incorporate a solo trip every year keeping everything as simple as possible focusing on relaxing and unwinding
[1:09:02 – 1:09:02] Erik: Sounds great.
[1:09:03 – 1:09:04] Erik: A lot of solo trips.
[1:09:04 – 1:09:05] Erik: A lot of solo trips.
[1:09:05 – 1:09:07] Erik: A lot of comments on soloing.
[1:09:07 – 1:09:08] Erik: I do like the concept.
[1:09:09 – 1:09:19] Erik: It’s been a long time since I’ve been a resident of a place where getting up at like four in the morning.
[1:09:20 – 1:09:27] Erik: To then drive and then in that same day find yourself on a Boundary Waters Lake.
[1:09:28 – 1:09:28] Erik: It’s a cool feeling.
[1:09:29 – 1:09:39] Erik: When I was in high school and early days of college in the cities, me and my friends, it would always be crack of dawn, if not before.
[1:09:40 – 1:09:44] Erik: Weird middle of the night departures just to get up here.
[1:09:45 – 1:09:47] Adam: Going out with Jimmy Rooms and the Biscuit Boys.
[1:09:47 – 1:09:47] Erik: Yeah.
[1:09:48 – 1:09:53] Erik: It’s always, I mean, it’s a, I don’t know, there’s something about it that’s like a little jet laggy, though.
[1:09:53 – 1:09:54] Adam: Yeah.
[1:09:54 – 1:09:56] Erik: You’re like, oh, I’m in the Boundary Waters now?
[1:09:56 – 1:09:57] Erik: Like, what?
[1:09:57 – 1:09:58] Erik: How did this happen?
[1:09:58 – 1:09:59] Erik: What is going on?
[1:09:59 – 1:10:00] Erik: What do I do?
[1:10:00 – 1:10:02] Erik: Time is very weird, Eric.
[1:10:02 – 1:10:03] Erik: Yeah.
[1:10:03 – 1:10:08] Erik: You involve a car on the same day that you’re going to get into a canoe and paddle?
[1:10:08 – 1:10:08] Erik: Yeah.
[1:10:08 – 1:10:14] Erik: It’s very antithetical modes of transit that just.
[1:10:14 – 1:10:17] Erik: Yeah, canoes are kind of anti-jet laggy.
[1:10:17 – 1:10:18] Erik: It’s tough.
[1:10:18 – 1:10:19] Adam: Reverse jet lag.
[1:10:19 – 1:10:23] Erik: Yeah, I mean, maybe, yeah, it can reverse the jet lag a little bit.
[1:10:23 – 1:10:26] Adam: Excuse your understanding of space and time.
[1:10:26 – 1:10:27] Adam: Yeah.
[1:10:27 – 1:10:29] Adam: Makes your brains uncomfortable.
[1:10:29 – 1:10:35] Erik: but for us, you know, we’re, we’re probably in way, obviously like much more in the minority.
[1:10:36 – 1:10:44] Erik: It’s like most distance traveled is a drive over to Ely, you know, three, three and a half hours to an entry point.
[1:10:44 – 1:10:50] Erik: Most of the time it’s, you get up on the morning of the trip, not too crazy early, you know, seven, eight, you’re on the water by nine or 10.
[1:10:52 – 1:10:52] Erik: Easy peasy.
[1:10:52 – 1:10:59] Erik: There’s something about those early morning bleary-eyed 4 a.m. departures from the cities.
[1:11:01 – 1:11:01] Erik: It’s worth it, though.
[1:11:02 – 1:11:02] Erik: I think it is.
[1:11:03 – 1:11:07] Erik: And I do look back fondly on those crazy early morning drives.
[1:11:07 – 1:11:14] Erik: When you’re heading to some place that you want to be, the only thing that’s reminiscent to that now are trips.
[1:11:14 – 1:11:15] Adam: Be like pronto, honestly.
[1:11:16 – 1:11:19] Adam: I’ll be picking you up at like 4 a.m. for pronto in like three weeks.
[1:11:19 – 1:11:21] Erik: Like trips to the airport.
[1:11:21 – 1:11:27] Adam: Yeah, or I got to get up at 2 to get to Thunder Bay in time for my flight over to Toronto.
[1:11:27 – 1:11:29] Erik: I’m going to be in Toronto by 10.
[1:11:29 – 1:11:30] Adam: I got to get down on that Dash 8.
[1:11:31 – 1:11:31] UNKNOWN: Yeah.
[1:11:32 – 1:11:33] Erik: How is this possible?
[1:11:33 – 1:11:34] Adam: Eating some fish food.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:34] Adam: Yep.
[1:11:34 – 1:11:35] Adam: Coming into…
[1:11:35 – 1:11:38] Adam: Tropical fish food.
[1:11:38 – 1:11:41] Adam: Going out to Longo’s to pick up some dashi.
[1:11:43 – 1:11:45] Erik: You see that goal by Marner?
[1:11:46 – 1:11:47] Erik: No.
[1:11:48 – 1:11:50] Erik: I could give two… What?
[1:11:50 – 1:11:51] Erik: I could give two shits.
[1:11:51 – 1:11:52] Erik: You’re not watching the Four Nations?
[1:11:52 – 1:11:53] Erik: No.
[1:11:53 – 1:11:53] Erik: Come on.
[1:11:53 – 1:11:58] Erik: This is literally, honestly, you want to argue with me about the worst week of the year?
[1:11:58 – 1:11:59] Erik: We’re in it right now.
[1:11:59 – 1:12:01] Erik: This is the worst week of the year.
[1:12:02 – 1:12:02] Erik: Hockey’s off.
[1:12:03 – 1:12:06] Erik: It’s cold as cold can be again.
[1:12:06 – 1:12:07] Adam: It’s pretty dang cold.
[1:12:07 – 1:12:08] Erik: Paul Hutner promised me.
[1:12:08 – 1:12:09] Erik: I’m coming for him.
[1:12:10 – 1:12:12] Adam: It’s not as cold as that last snap, but this one’s longer.
[1:12:12 – 1:12:13] Erik: But he did promise me.
[1:12:13 – 1:12:15] Erik: He’s like, these are going to be the coldest days of the year.
[1:12:15 – 1:12:21] Adam: These are, but this has been a pretty prolonged run of cool days.
[1:12:21 – 1:12:27] Erik: Yeah, we’re on a little blip today and tomorrow, and then next week we settle back into high of one.
[1:12:27 – 1:12:30] Erik: He’s just like, get the out of here.
[1:12:30 – 1:12:30] Adam: I can’t.
[1:12:31 – 1:12:33] Adam: So you don’t care about the four nations?
[1:12:34 – 1:12:34] Erik: No.
[1:12:34 – 1:12:34] Erik: Something.
[1:12:35 – 1:12:37] Erik: There’s nothing that interests me about it.
[1:12:37 – 1:12:38] Erik: It’s made up.
[1:12:38 – 1:12:39] Erik: Give me the Olympics.
[1:12:40 – 1:12:41] Erik: Include all the players.
[1:12:41 – 1:12:43] Erik: They’re doing that next year.
[1:12:43 – 1:12:44] Erik: Yeah.
[1:12:44 – 1:12:44] Erik: All right.
[1:12:44 – 1:12:49] Erik: You can transport me to next year, and I will tell you how much I care.
[1:12:49 – 1:12:51] Erik: Right now, I care zero.
[1:12:52 – 1:12:53] Adam: When was that?
[1:12:54 – 1:12:55] Adam: Who do you think is going to win?
[1:12:56 – 1:12:58] Adam: He doesn’t care.
[1:12:58 – 1:12:58] Adam: Yeah, I don’t care.
[1:12:59 – 1:13:03] Adam: Isn’t it fun watching Hellebuck be a net for the USA?
[1:13:03 – 1:13:12] Erik: No, I would love to actually watch games that matter and not games that were cooked up by Gary Bettman in a fever dream last June because he’s like, well, I don’t know.
[1:13:12 – 1:13:16] Erik: It’s the third different iteration of a World Cup thing that they’ve done.
[1:13:16 – 1:13:17] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:17 – 1:13:23] Erik: And it doesn’t make any sense to me why there’s no, like, Leon Dreisaitl’s not in this tournament.
[1:13:24 – 1:13:24] Adam: No.
[1:13:24 – 1:13:25] Erik: Nope.
[1:13:25 – 1:13:26] Adam: Why?
[1:13:26 – 1:13:28] Erik: No Germans allowed.
[1:13:28 – 1:13:33] Erik: We’ve just deemed these are the four nations that are the best at hockey.
[1:13:33 – 1:13:34] Erik: No Russia.
[1:13:35 – 1:13:36] Adam: They’re banned.
[1:13:36 – 1:13:37] Adam: They’re canceled.
[1:13:37 – 1:13:37] Adam: No.
[1:13:38 – 1:13:39] Erik: Get out of here.
[1:13:39 – 1:13:39] Erik: I don’t care about it.
[1:13:39 – 1:13:40] Erik: Also, like,
[1:13:41 – 1:13:43] Adam: They’re canceled worse than on Jemima.
[1:13:44 – 1:13:44] Erik: Yeah.
[1:13:45 – 1:13:46] Adam: And for good reason.
[1:13:46 – 1:13:48] Erik: Who, the Russians or the Germans?
[1:13:48 – 1:13:49] Adam: No, the Russians.
[1:13:49 – 1:13:50] Adam: Sure.
[1:13:50 – 1:13:50] Adam: I mean, I get that.
[1:13:50 – 1:13:52] Adam: The Germans just don’t have enough dry sidles.
[1:13:52 – 1:13:54] Adam: They’re lacking talent.
[1:13:54 – 1:14:01] Erik: But that’s the fun of those kinds of events is you get teams where it’s like, yeah, there’s one guy who’s really good and like a bunch of nobodies.
[1:14:01 – 1:14:01] Erik: Yeah.
[1:14:01 – 1:14:04] Erik: Like a little bit of a, you know, like there’s no underdogs.
[1:14:05 – 1:14:09] Adam: Even the Swedish guys, though, like there are some players on there that were just from the Swedish leagues.
[1:14:10 – 1:14:10] Adam: And yeah, sure.
[1:14:10 – 1:14:13] Adam: You got to fill out the coaches like a Swedish superstar.
[1:14:13 – 1:14:16] Erik: I’ve never heard him a little bit, but like, I don’t know.
[1:14:16 – 1:14:18] Erik: It’s not like, sure.
[1:14:18 – 1:14:22] Erik: It is more best on best than anything that they’ve done in a long time.
[1:14:22 – 1:14:27] Adam: Anyways, Marner’s goal to win an OT was rocket shot right off the post.
[1:14:27 – 1:14:27] Adam: It was amazing.
[1:14:27 – 1:14:35] Erik: It would be way better if it was a goal that he scored for a game that mattered that anybody will remember in literally, I guarantee, eight months.
[1:14:36 – 1:14:41] Erik: Nobody will remember that this ever happened or who won it or who was in it.
[1:14:42 – 1:14:42] Erik: It’s dumb.
[1:14:43 – 1:14:45] Erik: There’s my final thought on that.
[1:14:45 – 1:14:46] Adam: Well, I love it.
[1:14:46 – 1:14:47] Adam: The end.
[1:14:47 – 1:14:48] Adam: I love that you’re into this.
[1:14:48 – 1:14:50] Adam: What else are you going to watch?
[1:14:50 – 1:14:52] Adam: There’s nothing else going on right now.
[1:14:52 – 1:14:53] Adam: What’s true?
[1:14:53 – 1:14:54] Adam: Basket hoop?
[1:14:54 – 1:14:54] Adam: No.
[1:14:55 – 1:14:56] Erik: Basket hoop’s not even on.
[1:14:56 – 1:14:57] Erik: There’s no basketball either.
[1:14:58 – 1:14:59] Erik: Yeah, this is a rough week.
[1:14:59 – 1:15:00] Erik: It’s a rough week.
[1:15:00 – 1:15:02] Erik: It’s like the nastiest temperature.
[1:15:02 – 1:15:05] Erik: If you can live through February, you can live another year.
[1:15:05 – 1:15:06] Erik: My God.
[1:15:06 – 1:15:07] Adam: We’re going to do it.
[1:15:07 – 1:15:09] Erik: Truer words were nayer spoke.
[1:15:09 – 1:15:09] Adam: Nayer.
[1:15:10 – 1:15:17] Adam: Thank you to Mystery Brown Bag sponsors of the show for your Lion and Kugel’s Big Eddie Imperial Stout Triple Pack.
[1:15:19 – 1:15:21] Adam: I’m feeling pretty good right now.
[1:15:21 – 1:15:22] Adam: I’m sure you are.
[1:15:22 – 1:15:25] Adam: I’m like, I finished one.
[1:15:25 – 1:15:26] Adam: I’m going to finish it right now.
[1:15:26 – 1:15:37] Erik: I’m going to choke one down in between the ending of this episode and the beginning of the Tumbalone episode eight, season seven.
[1:15:38 – 1:15:38] Erik: No Roland.
[1:15:39 – 1:15:41] Adam: Don’t need to see what Roland’s up to tonight.
[1:15:42 – 1:15:43] Adam: A lot else going on.
[1:15:44 – 1:15:48] Adam: Kicking it over to the Patreon to catch us over there in the mezzanine deck, folks.
[1:15:49 – 1:15:54] Adam: Until next week, we will be finishing up the question of the week on episode 280.
[1:15:55 – 1:15:56] Adam: So we’ll catch you back there.
[1:15:57 – 1:15:59] Adam: And looking forward to it.

[1:16:04 – 1:16:05] Adam: We do appreciate it.
[1:16:05 – 1:16:11] Adam: There’s a lot of very long and well-written responses in this thread.
[1:16:11 – 1:16:15] Erik: Yeah, we did a little bit of a pre-scroll to the end of what was left.
[1:16:17 – 1:16:19] Erik: The amount of words is a little daunting for what we’ve got left.
[1:16:19 – 1:16:22] Adam: We don’t want to be in a hurry ever in February.
[1:16:23 – 1:16:24] Adam: It’s the worst time of the year.
[1:16:24 – 1:16:25] Adam: What else do you have to do?
[1:16:25 – 1:16:28] Adam: We’ll wait until next week to complete the thread.
[1:16:28 – 1:16:34] Adam: So thank you, and we’re happy to be enjoying this thread now here in February.
[1:16:34 – 1:16:37] Adam: It’s the perfect time to think about it.
[1:16:38 – 1:16:39] Adam: Anyways, we’re going to kick it out of here, I think.
[1:16:41 – 1:16:45] Adam: Appreciate you all, and, you know, happy paddling.
