Put off from late October due to low water levels, The Beetle Battle Paddle is going on tomorrow, March the 29th.  It’s a benefit aimed at fighting Hemlock Woolly Adelgid - an invasive and destructive, parasitic beetle that is attacking populations of Eastern Hemlock trees throughout the forests of the eastcoast, and now, here in Georgia!

The paddle is a self guided trip down the lower section of the Chestatee River in North Georgia.  There is also refreshments (paid & complimentary) half way down.

There are shuttles available, and Appalachian Outfitters is donating 100% of canoe and kayak rentals to the cause.  So come on out, with a name like that it’s got to be a blast!

For more information, visit canoegeorgia.com or call Appalachian Outfitters at 706-864-7117

As I mentioned before, I’m the poster child for GPS. I’ve been lost. I’ve been lost for days. Every survival book/expert out there will tell that pulling through is a majority mental toughness, though preparation and physical fitness do play key roles.

Here’s the book that delves into the how and why some people make it, and some people don’t. Beware lesser survival books, Deep Survival isn’t about all in one canteen survival kits or how to watch animals to see what plants are edible. It’s a holistic analysis of humans in survival situations, the environmental variables at play, and our own psychology.

I’m giving away a slick Bonefish themed website for one lucky captian/guide.  As many of you know, I’ve been doing websites for years as a side job - but I’d really love to combine it with my love of fishing….

Here’s the screen shot:

 You can also see a live demo here and read a little more about why I’m giving it away, and who gets it my web desing blog.

If anybody knows a guide in the Keys or Caribbean that could use a new website, please give me a holler on the contact form above or call me at 770.377.6345.  Thanks.
