A Podcast,
A 3D Printer,
And A Lot
Of Water.
The Podcast and Stuff is one person talking about politics and fishing, making kayak parts that hold up better than the ones they replace, and writing down what the water and the trail actually taught him. Three things that look unrelated until you notice they are all the same habit.
▓▒░ What This Is ░▒▓
Three Things. One Standard.
The Podcast
Politics and fishing, long-form, no panel of people shouting. The two subjects you are told not to mix, handled by someone who does not think they are far apart.
The Stuff
3D-printed kayak accessories designed on the water, broken on the water, and redesigned until they stop breaking. Currently one product, made properly.
Field Notes
Fishing and hiking. Where, how, what worked, and what the conditions were actually doing. From a licensed Alaska fly fishing guide who lives in Colorado.
▓▒░ The Stuff ░▒▓
Built Because The
Original Annoyed Me.
Coosa FD Steering Upgrade Kit
A 3D-printed kit that replaces the stock steering rods on the Jackson Coosa FD with a single handle you rotate to steer the rudder.
Version 2, revised after more than fifty hours on the water. Quieter, tougher, and it swings the rudder further than the stock rods.
▓▒░ The Podcast ░▒▓
Politics and fishing, in that order or the other one.
Two subjects that people will tell you not to mix, handled by someone who does not think they are as far apart as they look. Both of them are about reading conditions you did not choose, working with the water you actually have, and being honest when the thing you were sure about turns out to be wrong.
No panel of guests shouting. No pretending certainty. Long-form, one conversation at a time.
Under construction — episode one is being recorded
RECORDING NOW.
EPISODE ONE SOON.
The show is being built the same way the parts are: quietly, until it is good enough to put a name on. Get on the list and you will know the day it drops.
Meanwhile the shop videos are up at @howeverwegothere.
▓▒░ Field Notes ░▒▓
The Part That
Happens Outside.
Every product here started as a problem noticed while doing one of these. That is not a marketing story, it is just the order things happened in.
Fly Fishing
Licensed fly fishing guide in the State of Alaska. Reading water, managing variables you did not choose, and staying patient when nothing is happening. It trains a different kind of attention than a desk does.
Kayak Fishing
Flatwater and moving water both, mostly from a Jackson Coosa FD. Fishing from a boat you pedal changes what you notice, and it is where most of the shop projects start.
High-Altitude Hiking
Multi-day routes in the Colorado backcountry. Real logistics, real consequences, no shortcuts. The mountain does not care about your schedule, which is most of the point.
Mountain Biking
Trail riding across varying terrain and conditions. On a technical descent there is no room in your head for anything except what is immediately in front of you.
Gravel and Road
Long miles, sustained effort, and a lot of time to think. Some of the clearest thinking happens at mile 40 when there is nothing to do but pedal and process.
