Best Crappie Fishing

Archive for the ‘ice fishing gear’ Category

Say the desert vs the arctic- in the desert I’m talking about just sand, lizards, maybe a few low-lying scrub bushes, indicating potential small reserves of water far beneath the sand. In the arctic environment I mean just snow, maybe fish under a layer of ice.

In both instances we will say you are equipped with the appropriate clothes and have the necessary tools for creating fire, a knife, a shovel, basic survival gear, but no food or water.

You only have to survive a few days, not long-term.

Which is the "easier" environment to shelter yourself from the elements, get enough water, food and just generally survive in for the short-term?
My feeling is definitely the arctic would be the easier place to survive, while my friend thinks the desert.

My feeling is arctic= cold, but you can warm yourself with a fire whereas desert= hot, you can’t effectively cool yourself without expending a lot of energy (Eg: fanning yourself… building an A/C) water- arctic, you can melt snow, the cold of the water may burn calories, but you can warm it over your fire. Desert- water= underground, you have to dig to find it, burns lots of calories. You have 3 days reserve of water in your body in "normal" conditions, in the desert, without water, you can die in a matter of hours. Food- in the dessert there IS probably more food you can realistically take down solo- foxes, lizards etc, whereas the arctic has polar bears, walruses and various other big, potentially lethal animals, with the fish beneath thick ice.
It’s far easier to build a shelter out of snow than sand, and from there you get shelter from the wind and insulate yourself.
Also, an interesting variable would be whether you’re alone or with someone else- I think that the added moral of not being alone would probably make either situation more bearable, as well as giving you a "reason to keep fighting"

Snow/Ice happen to be fair insulators. You can construct a shelter easily with a shovel and a knife., and you can maintain temp inside it with a candle or a container to burn fish oil. Fish can be eaten raw, frozen and provide good nutrition, and snow atop the salt-water ice can be melted for water. The most significant danger is the large carnivore, the polar bear.

Desert–well you will likely never get enough water, and while it is hot during the day, it may be bitterly cold at night. If you do not have a noisemaker and a mirror, you may be unable to signal potential rescuers because you will lose your voice as you dehydrate. Some sort of sunshade will be very important

I’ll take the arctic any time. Worst case, when the end comes, you drop into a sleep from which you do not awaken. In the desert, you will suffer.

EDIT: ‘comment’ what you said!

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. She proudly says, "Go ahead, ask me, I know all of them." A friend says, "OK, what’s the capital of Wyoming?" The blonde says, "Oh that’s easy: W."

A Blonde who got a fishing rod for her birthday and decided to go ice fishing. So early the next morning she got all her gear and headed out. When she reached her destination she cut a hole in the ice and dipped the rod in. Then suddenly she heard a voice that said:"there’s no fish in there". So she moves to another spot and cuts another hole, then the same voice spoke again and told her there were no fish there. So she moves again and the voice tells her there are no fish there. So she looks up and see’s a man looking down at her. "How do you know there are no fish there?" So the man cooly says "Well first of all this is a hockey rink and you’re going to have to pay for those holes.

Temperatures in Florida are rarely in the freezing range. When it drops to freezing temperatures, farmers spend all day preparing for the freeze, and must stay up all night to watch their crops. There are different means of protecting crops. Strawberry growers wait for just the right temperature to turn on sprinklers to cover crops with a protective layer of ice. Orange growers set out ’smudge pots’ to warm up temperatures in orange groves. Workers have to put in extra hours to harvest what they can and get it to market. The more loss there is, the higher the prices we all have to pay at the market.

Many homeless shelters must kick in to high gear as well. The emergency shelters that only are open for extreme weather are opening and must be prepared for high numbers of people.

There are other industries that rely on warm weather that are impacted as well, such as tropical fish farms.

While it is rare for Florida to drop below freezing, and when it does, it is usually only for one or two days at a time, this cold spell is predicted to last for at least a week. Believers, Florida can use your prayers. Will you pray?
sophieb; true, freezing temps usually occur in the wee hours of the morning. Preparing for it is around the clock. And the impact of just a few hours can destroy crops, and cause produce prices to skyrocket.

Prayers to Florida!
