Very nice vid. Good recovery of the fish after. I guess you snipped out the surface interval because it seemed you got back down there very quickly. Unless it wasn't too deep.

hau, you can get set up with a good camera for under $300 http://spearfishing.world/unde…-for-underwater-pics.html

Right. I just thought that the "appropriate" materials might be cheaper and easier to stash in an emergency bag than a solar still.

Do you guys think that if an enema or a turkey baster wasn't on hand it would be possible to use an empty plastic bottle? You know, fill it with sea water stick it in your butt stand on your head and let gravity do its thing?

For spearfishing applications I prefer this model.

I think a turkey baster from publix will do just ass well <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I read adrift, good book, I don't remember the enema part though. I do remember reading about absorbing water through the rectum somewhere else. Something about the membranes absorbing the water but not the salt. The trick, if this method actually works, would be to get the water up there if you don't have an enema handy.

I saw a documentary on discovery channel yesterday about these people who were adrift in an inflatable dingy for 5 days. They had no water or food. There were five of them to begin with, three men and two women, and only two of them survived when a cargo ship spotted them on the fifth day. One woman succumbed to injuries sustained when their sailboat sunk. Two men drank sea water, became delirious and jumped in the water around the 4th day to be eaten by sharks that were following the dingy.

This made me think again about the predicament of being adrift in the sea with no drinking water. There are a few devices in existence that can make drinking water out of sea water. The most interesting thing to me however was reading somewhere that one man experimented successfully with drinking sea water. The key from what I remember was to drink in very small quantities often, not when you actually feel thirsty. I can't find this information again and naturally am skeptical of it.

The only way to know for sure is to experiment on oneself. I have in mind to try a week of drinking sea water. Any thoughts?

I have seen it, I keep a copy of it.

Are you talking about bodybuilding? When I used to do it, since you're targeting specific muscle groups each workout, I'd do the whole body over a 3 day cycle. So once every 3 days. I hope you're not trying to spot reduce fat?

Well you gotta start with something that's already out there. I wonder what the dogs they first used were like.

I have this on DVD and I'm going to watch it now, thanks monster Good movie.

Interesting, it looks like the lab was developed concurrently in England and Canada. No mention of the Irish though http://www.barkbytes.com/history/labret.htm Great breed the lab. The reason I think that better chance of getting them in US is because of the quantity of hunting that goes on here. I have this impression that throughout history hunting was heavily controlled in England and only the higher classes could do it, with dogs or without. In the US every Joe shmoe can hunt.

Has your friend told you how they express their protectiveness? I don't really know much about hunting so what's expected from a dog when hunting lions?

That's interesting and nice to know when someone is so devoted to a breed. I know it's a figure of speech but what qualities does he see in the dog that would lead to him saying that?

Yep, registration and pedigrees are the coup de grace for dog breeds. It's great that the US has the geography and culture that can lead to the development of great hunting dogs. If I was looking for a hunting dog I wouldn't look outside the US. You just have to know where to go. Which is why it's surprising to me that you're looking at the airdales.

What do your buddies say about the airdales? They look like they should know all about them.

I saw a DVD yesterday that I had from a while back. In it a friend of mine, a dog trainer, participated in an OLN show called ultimate dogs. They did a 10 scale with 1 being the ultimate protection breed. The airdale was in there somewhere but the footage they showed of it doing bitework was pathetic. Must be very hard to find a working airdale in Canada. Albeit most of the other dogs representing the different breeds didn't look too hot either. It was interesting they filmed the show in Canada. There's 10 times more people in the US and maybe they would've found better dogs. Maybe they were on a budget, or maybe Canada has a better dog culture.

The fighting dogs gameness, should be maintained at any cost though. Gameness is a genetic treasure. There´s no breed, nor animal that would fight to death but the pit bull.

Do you think gameness could be bred for from scratch if it were to disappear?

Show people I think are responsible for the degradation of working temperament in "working dogs" today. I have an insight into it through a friend who's starting to spend big bucks on buying foreign dogs. The mind of a show person is like Alice in wonderland as far as what's important in a dog.

So Rolo, what can we expect on Sat as far as fish?
