    Default How Is Everyone Handling The Ridiculous Gas Prices?

    The price of gas was cutitng into my fishing. Here is my solution:



    I also have a trailer to pull my Kayak with on the bike. I have a gun/bow/rod rack for the handlebars.

    I saved almost $100.00 this week by parking the cars and riding instead (when feasable). This is too cool.

    I also think I've dropped about 10 pounds this week. It feels great. And good for the environment as well. Perhaps high gas prices are an opportunity, rather than a pain......

    My favorite fishing spot/cabin is 200 miles away...so if I did that I would lose about 50lbs just by the time I got there LOL.


    On a serious note...good for you, nothing like saving money and getting healthier at the same time!

    I can barely afford to drive to work, let alone fishing. Not handling it well.

    I just 'pay the piper' and go about like before. I love driving my Dodge MegaCab too much to think of down sizing, not to mention any vehicle I got would cost me a whole lot more than the gas I buy for my rig, plus the otehr people riding in my rig love all the room and comfort. So, like I said, I just pay the piper.
