(Psssst- I’m an outdoorsman- I’m posting all these to discourage city slickers from ‘trying out nature’- but shhhh- it’s just between us)

FYI...... as one with uncountable days in the “out of doors” i would inform you that my current foray is in a kayak where there are no polar bears, grizzly bears, wolves, wolvererines, coyotes, etc.

One can paddle close enough to the shore to touch it with the paddle.

Herons and other fishers pay little attention until you are right on them. Sunning turtles are more wary but one can drift close enough to see their eyes, red ear and carapace markings. I once watched for ten minutes a pileated wood pecker tear up a rotting log from 30 feet away. As I was fishing with my trusty fly rod, a mink came trotting by at the waters edge paying me no mind about 30 feet away in a bright yellow kayak.

the kayak is for exercise. The fishing is for resting between episodes of paddling. Last week I made my 102nd voyage

I missed the sarcasm tag.

Your subsequent posts gave a different impression.

You really would hate it here though. It is an icy hell with polar bears roaming the streets and nothing to eat but whale blubber and seagulls. We all sit in our igloos hugging our guns; except in summer (If it falls on a weekend) when we have the annual BBQ.
