I picked these two books up at a local thrift store not too
long ago. They caught my eye because at
a quick glance through one of the books, I noticed a fishing map that includes
Northwest Wisconsin, an area where, through the years, we have spent many
summer vacations. I just picked them up
to take a better look this week and have decided to share a few important bits
of information I’ve learned from them.
1) If you want to
keep deer away from a camp or resort, just get a sack of lion manure to scatter
around. The deer will not go near it.
2) Pond scum soup is
a delicious, healthy meal. If your ponds
are frozen over, just chop some pond scum out of the ice and melt it over a
fire.
3) Your car radiator usually collects a nice assortment of
insects that can be used for bait.
4) Mayonnaise is better than
butter for winter camping because it is high in food value and spreads more
easily.
5) Do not run over dead or alive
porcupines with a car or truck. The
quills might cause a blowout.
6) Never pull a string hanging
over a bar in Alaska. If you do so, you
will have to pay for drinks on the house.
I hope you will find this
information as helpful as I have! Now,
it’s time to go outside and look for some pond scum. Care to come over for dinner?
