Used Simms waders for years back when I didn't suck and got to fly fish. Great shit.dflea said:
They're awesome. Make sure you use the little orange dammits to get them off your hands. Simms makes good shit.YellowSnow said:
I have those. Gonna try them next time.dflea said:You guys sound a little soft to me. You should go out to the local river and stand there for a while picking ice out of your rod guides and then handle a fish for a while. If there's a little freezing rain, leave your hood down long enough for it to start running down the back of your neck.
That will make your back porch cigar trips seem like a visit to a desert oasis.
Get some of these fuckers, too. Great for cold days when you need to be using your fingers.

Thanks for the cigar link, @Swaye what a great price for one of the better cigars I've had.
I'm a Steelheader so standing in shitty weather and smoking cigars is heaven.
@YellowSnow, my Simms don't last 20yrs because, 1) I fish alot and 2) I smoke cigars with waders on

I definitely don’t have 20 years of balls deep steelheading on them. Hell I think I’ve only had to plug like 2 holes.dannarc said:Thanks for the cigar link, @Swaye what a great price for one of the better cigars I've had.

Some off years with not a ton of fishing, plus some summers with a lotta of shorts fishing. -

My favorite waders quote, by a fren who was a novice. We were up on Rock Creek in Montana in October and it was cold as fuck. And he says, “hey, are these waders self bailing, cause I gotta piss real bad?”dannarc said:Thanks for the cigar link, @Swaye what a great price for one of the better cigars I've had.

150 years ago my people were still hatcheting white devils in the face and burning wagons. Look at how far we have come:
That is my current laptop display, and I also have it on my cell phone. I run three humidors right now. The big Harland Brown custom everyone has seen, a wineador convert for storage (NewAir), and a really nice Daniel Marshall Treasure Box desktop.
There are some real time humidor monitoring solutions out there to be able to sync up and see you temp/humidity but the Boveda one is clunky and never worked great, and Oasis has one but they charge you a monthly service fee, and the others always seemed sort of meh. So, I had a buddy who is super techy and likes to be a problem solver build this from scratch. He found some temp/rh sensors that were traditionally used in other applications, paired them with a base station (allowing you to name them, control them, etc.), got all the wireless configured properly between all elemetns of the system throughout the house, then custom built and coded a sort of open source GUI from Grafana ( I think) and came up with this (above) after a bunch of tweaking.
Anywhere in the world at a moments notice I can check the gnats ass hair status of all the humidors, and I can even run trends going back up to a year to see how seasonal changes affect things. This is basically the coolest shit ever. It isn't in app form yet but he plans to work on that next. Most robust system I've seen. Red man wins again.

Good chit, Swaye.

A little birdy told me you might be going up town with the cigar storage soon. Can't wait to see it. @PurpleBazePurpleBaze said:Good chit, Swaye.

It's true. But, it's a process. It takes a minute. It's hard.Swaye said:

I'll probably order it this coming week. It'll take 6-8 weeks to ship.
