For years I carried a Spyderco like this (it wound up about 10 years ago being on my fishing vest until the tip broke): Now I recently began carrying a Gerber Dime with a Nite Ize carabiner hooked to my right side belt loop.

I feel for him, deeply. Lost my mother to a massive, I believe the word they used was "catastrophic" stroke back in 2015. My Dad woke up to her in this state. Was devastating for him, my bro and sis's. We lost her shortly thereafter, though to a better place. So I pray for Jimmy and the Houston family. May Chris recover, or as he says in the vid, go on to a better place, though I'll pray for her recovery.

Welcome aboard! ?? Those old Mitchell's were tanks! My Dad had a few back in the day. I think it was one of those on a UL setup that I knocked off the boat into the depths of Consesus Lake in the late 70's when I was just a kid. At least I'm still in his will, LOL.

Yes, it gets better with practice. You'll learn your yak's stability points and find that secondary stability point. You know what can help... A skateboard balance board . Something like this.... https://www.amazon.com/CORE-Balance-Trainer-Training-Skateboard/dp/B017IZW2CI

Welcome back, @bigbill!!

I always use YoZuri Hybrid in 6, 8, 10 pound test, or Gamma Edge Fluoro in 6, 8, 10.... 9 out of 10 times I tie them on with Uni-to-uni, other knots are mod'd Albright, and/or Shin's Knot.

Welcome aboard, Tobias!

My wraps have varied, but typical is 7 + 7, thinner diameter leader, perhaps a few more wraps. Thicker, less. But I've also been a big fan of Shin Fukae's variant, as mentioned by @Team9nine...

I do for my Chronarch 50e. I had two, but when i went mostly spinning, I sold one and kept the rod. So I swap the 50e between a 6'6" MH and a 6'6" ML. Heavier stuff and lighter stuff. Works out fine for me .

I've lived/live in both worlds. Was early DOS/Windows guy, became an Apple evangelist in the 90's, early 2000s, but over time saw Apple become something other than what was Steve Jobs's vision. Was even able, as an IT Manager, to get some Apple products into an IBM/Dell-only telecom. It is now, simply a "walled garden" company returning to "not invented here" mentality. Don't get me wrong, Apple makes fantastic products. I no longer use iPhones. I can't see myself ever returning to the fold. iMacs, MacBooks, yeah, macOS is awesome. 'Nuff said. Tho I worry Apple's trajectory is becoming more and more closed as the years go by. As for AV, I've usually not had to use any on Android. It was on by default on my new Galaxy S21 (which is a pretty amazing phone), and I've left it on, though I probably wouldn't have an issue turning off. @huZZah is right, it's no longer true that Apple is "immune" (by quantity) to viruses/malware. As the rest have said, avoid "bad" places, and don't click on links in emails w/o being absolutely certain they're legit.
