How Is Everyone Handling The Ridiculous Gas Prices?

[Gigmaster]

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 saw a gentleman riding a bike with a trailer pulling a toon, 4 rods, a cooler, and the toon had a canapy

Now that would hve been worth the while to stop and take a picture.

The high water here in PA as of late has been saving me plenty of gas money....

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

Sure makes me glad I only live 4 miles from work

DaveE, as a retired LEO, all I can say is,'' Every now and then there is a little justice.'' Best thing is that you are not injured, I know there was a few seconds of Pucker Factor but you are okay and that is what counts. Those decorative bracelets are adjustable for a very fine fit. Y'all take care, John.

I went from an 8cyl to a 6cyl to a 5cyl and now have a 4cyl, I just bought a 1997 Toyota RAV4 4 door, 37MPG- it is in great shape and was a great price...

In some regards it sucks being retired on a fixed budget... maybe a part time job in in the works?

Our family rig (read as fishing/grocery/fly shop/everything vehicle) is a 6 cyl that gets a bit over 22 MPG. My 1973 Ford F-250 Camper Special sits in the yard because I can't afford the 12 MPG it gets. If I ever need to tow Mount Rainier over to Idaho though, I've got the rig to do it.

Our rivers have been so high and off color due to rain and melting mountain snows have kept us off the water more than the high gas prices.
