So, you're contemplating a fly-in fishing trip to Manitoba? This vast province is home to a wide array of trophy fish like walleye, pike, bass, and trout that swimming in those pristine waters ... some have never even seen a human before. However, as you'd expect, there's more to a fishing trip like this than just dropping your lure in the water and waiting. To make this as epic as possible, it is essential to select the right lodge, best locations, hiring experienced guides, select the right amenities, and of course, make sure to check the local fishing regulations. When all that comes together though ... yeah you've got one heck of an awesome bucket list fishing adventure!

When you think of road safety we think of brakes and steering more than we do tires but to be fair - none of that matters if you don't have good traction or something hits the sidewall and causes a sudden loss of pressure. Trucks are interesting vehicles because they inherently have a lot of different considerations that passenger vehicles like my Kia Soul don't. For instance, with the 2004 Dodge Ram that I'm currently bringing back to life, it will be our vehicle to drive in snow, it might even pull a boat one day, and it's possible I might even get the chance to take it off roading at some point ... or at least on dirt paths that the Soul wouldn't dare to tackle. This means that I need something beefier than merely a road tire. Luckily the folks at Kumho sent me a set of their Road Venture A/T 52 tires to check out and share my thoughts.

I'm obessed with cast iron pans for cooking. They hold their heat, can withstand high temperatures and they don't have a problem being placed in the oven for the perfect reverse sear steak. There's a whole bunch of other benefits that for my style of cooking make them a cherished part of my kitchen. Unfortunately, with my new condo and a very fancy new cooktop, the instructions had a call out that I should avoid using cast iron cookware. What to do!? The answer came in the form of a product pitch from KitchenAid who suggested that I try their new line of NITRO Carbon Steel Cookware since it offers similar benefits to cast iron in terms of being able to build up a non-stick surface through active seasoning but was lighter and easier to cook with like aluminum core pans that I typically avoid since I don't like non-stick coatings. After a few weeks of using these new carbo steel pans I definitely have more than a few thoughts to share!

There comes a point in life when your hearing starts to fail you. For some folks that comes earlier due to hearing damage from health issues or abuse but most folks as they age will face this challenge to some degree.
Unfortunately, far too many men refuse to acknowledge or accept this disability. Fortunately, there's now a great device that is both affordable and effective that you can get without a doctor's prescription that will help. We tried ClearCast PAL with my father-law Jim to help him hear his doctors and therapists better but quickly discovered that it also helped with reducing his stress levels since he didn't face the constant struggle of not understanding what was going on around him as well as the frustration of misunderstanding when someone asked him a question.
