Favorite Adventure You’ve Done

Couple years ago i spent 11 days in the jungles of Colombia fishing for peacock bass and other fish. Coolest experience ever. Always wanted to see the rainforest and got to do so while fishing, ill be back for sure.

Peacocks are on my hit list. Even if I have throw flies in some runoff ditch in Florida

Its insane how aggressive they can be. Thought it was crazy when my buddy insisted i spool up with 40# braid and ensure everything had 3x hooks on it... till i hooked a couple

Some great adventures everyone!!

I have three that really stand out.

First was guiding hunters for Mt. Goats, Moose and bears, both species before they cancelled the grizzly hunt. I did this for 15 years and never regretted giving up some of my hunting time to meet some awesome people and watch them get some amazing animals!





The second adventure was in 2019, where we went to Budapest, Hungary for Christmas and then travelled to the Czech Republic to watch the World Junior Hockey Tournament.....and watching Canada win GOLD!!

But I also went to one of the most eerie and emotionally humbling places I have ever been to. Auschwitz and Birkenau.

And this summer we went to the Arctic Ocean, a simple and amazing trip!







Cheers

I spent three winters working seismic in the Arctic islands. Months on end of 40 below and working outside. Got to within 400 miles of the pole. I have since worked in minefields, been a crop duster and bush pilot. But that time in the Arctic was the pinnacle adventure.

Not hubting related but smack dab when covid was hot and heavy my wife planned a 10day trip to Mexico. Kicker was that she wanted to travel to 4 or 5 different towns and get airbnbs. No resorts or anything touristy.

We flew to cozumel, stayed a night in Playa Del Carmin and grabbed a car the next morning. Went to see myan ruins and stayed over there for 2 days, went to Tulum and dove in a few cenotes, went to Holbox and stayed for 3 days, dove with whale sharks. We went all over and met some really cool people and had the best time.

It was just the right amount of shady. I thought she was insane because people were getting kidnapped at that time. Now I know she's crazy but that was one hell of a vacation and I recommend it to everyone.

We ran from the rental car place in the rain with our luggage and they canceled the ferry across to cozumel as I was pouring water out of my shoes. Spent 2hrs in the cozumel airport and they swapped our plane tickets for free and we spent two extra nights in cozumel. Just all around something I'll always remember.
