    This was an interesting history of pirates with a little sociological discussion thrown in about why contemporary audiences find pirates thrilling and entertaining.

    A red flag for me is when the author’s name on the cover is much larger than the title.

    This one was a little disappointing. I was hoping for more detail about how Carson outfitted his expeditions, the gear he used, the obstacles he overcame … but this was a dry retelling of the less interesting parts of his life.

    Snake gaiters or Regular gaiters in snake country

    I’m in Texas, and I’ve encountered enough rattlers and copperheads that I don’t venture out without steel-toed boots and snake gaiters. You definitely want gaiters specifically rated against snakebite. I think that whole thing about “most bites are on the upper body” comes from people trying to...

    Who's been to Iowa?

    I lived in Des Moines for five years. I don’t have any hunting recommendations but I do recommend the loose meat sandwiches at Maid-Rite and the tenderloin sandwich at the Machine Shed. Also the Iowa chop pork chops on the grill.

    Dallas fans, talk to me about the Jamie Benn hit on Devon Toews. I can’t stand the Avalanche but Benn is looking more and more like a cheap shot artist. I’m amazed there was no penalty on what was a clear shot to the head.

    I was glad to see that William Nylander finally scored a goal and helped the Leafs force a game 7. That will be quite the game to watch.

    Jeep as a hunting/fishing/camping rig

    This is my Jeep Patriot with the FD-II 4x4 package. It’s Trail Rated but has more storage space and gets better gas mileage than the Wrangler. It makes a great hunting rig, but unfortunately Jeep stopped making the Patriot in 2017 and didn’t replace it with anything as good.

    Punk Rock Hunt Talkers

    Sandinista! You guys are young, naming the bands my kids listened to. I was more of an Iggy-Sex Pistols-Clash-Pogues kind of guy. To me, Green Day is a “new” band.

    Nothing like being old enough to remember when Rod Brind’Amour, Patrick Roy, Rick Tocchet, etc. were rookie players, not coaches.

    Crazy game tonight in Winnipeg. I still loathe the Avalanche so I was glad to see it. Interesting that all the home teams have won game 1s (so far, waiting to see on Vancouver-Nashville). My Red Wings didn’t make it so I’m hoping a Canadian team can get to the finals.

    Waiting to see if my Red Wings can sneak into the playoffs with back-to-back wins against the Habs.

    Journaling

    When I’m on a multiday hunt, I carry a journal and write in it to help pass the time, especially in the slow parts or the middle of the day. It’s a way to chronicle my adventures, and it helps me remember some of the special non-hunting experiences like hearing music from a sunset church service...

    Why all the fuss about snake boots?

    I thought he was dead.
