Hey, Boys and Girls,
We all like to play in the woods right,we watch hunting shows,4x4 shows,go to the outfitters/fishing/ Canadian tire type stores,and we try to figure out how to explain to our significant other why we needed another (__________________) insert item here.
Playing can be expensive! do we need a knife? yep do we need a 250 dollar knife? sometimes:) but sometimes we only think we do because that's what every one else seems to think we need.
do I need a new atv?an new f350? a barret?But implants?(covering as much territory as I can here) some of us might need it, most of us just want it.
But does not having the latest gear stop us from having the best time?
This year I discovered nope! .......Thank God too, cause my wife would kill me if she added up how much the 30 or so grouse actually cost me this year.
hundreds of dollars in fuel.....and more to come in bodywork:)plus the unfilled tags:( the spent ammo, the gear i bought and lost......it adds up.
I was blessed to have picked up a:
30.06 husky for 400 ish
Walmart boots for 50 ish (review coming)
And the cost of not working when i go play,....... priceless:)
I'm sure I had as much fun and maybe a better adventure than many of the guys who have to have the best stuff.......and the fancy trucks with tires, that go up stuff,and don't get stuck!showoffs:)
Well you went home all dry and stuff,and I have had some of the funnest adventures albeit a tad stressful wondering if i was going to make it home with my truck......
I want nicer stuff,we all do. but i have spent many years not doing,because I felt I needed to have the stuff first,I missed out on a lot of great times.
Don't! just don't. Go out and play, get out of your comfort zone. Who cares what, you think, people think of you, in reality they are just as self conscious as you and don't really care about what you have or don't have.
Its this thinking that has given our world economy a little hiccup of late, Check your self, do you need it? can I buy it with money I have now?or will I be paying for this long after its lost, broken, ignored...etc?
Go ahead and get it, but just know some of us are doing pretty good with out the flash and stress
My wife would have ripped me a........... if I mashed up a 50 thousand dollar truck, but i didn't. i mashed up a 1000 dollar truck and I can fix it for 150 bucks... no stress.
have a great day
