I think my favorite comment is to switch from light beers to dark...
Switch from board shorts to long pants...
Switch from flip flops to insulated boots...
Switch from dry flies to streamers & nymphs...
Don't ask the guy from Hawaii what to do...in 42 years of owning boats, this is the first time in my life that I have to winterize a boat...
One of the things I did learn about driving in cold weather...make sure to have extra wool blankets or sleeping bags wherever you go...could save your life

Hahaha great list!
Also, the tip on the blankets or sleeping bags is smart! Thank you

I have a couple down throws that roll up small and fit nicely under the back seat. I carry them around year round. They come in handy. I also have one of my dads old wool blankets in the back along with a pair of pants and a heavy Carhart jacket.

That dude from Mississippi
Those push button door handles suck in cold weather. Mine froze in Mississippi, last January. I had to use my pocket knife to get the ice off.

When I lived up in Colorado, two wives of people I worked with that grew up down south had wrecks the first winter - no idea how to drive in the snow. Take a class if they have any close to where you are going.
Also, a jacket so you don’t have to run the heater if you don’t want to, keeps the snow from freezing up as ice on your windshield unless it’s a wet snow.
Carry water, food, space blanket comes in handy, sterno, strikers, get rated boots and a good rated sleeping bag. If you’re in a city maybe this isn’t the list for you, if you head into the mountains there’s a lot more.
Don’t forget to put on better winter tires, on the road ATs were much better than MTs in my experience.

The dirtier the better. [emoji106] nothing wrong with chucking slutty flies in my book.

Nothing better than throwing a big fat mouse and swimming it across the stream and having it devoured at night!

Haha! I know it's messed up but I'd rather hide behind a bush trying to catch a 7" brookie out of a little creek with my 2 wt than going deep on big water to haul out 24" browns & bows with my 7 wt. Worse yet, my Alaskan friends (and my wife) are ready to send me off to one of those re-education camps because I have no love for salmon fishing either.
I've got issues...

Zendzur Hot Springs Lodge, Kamchatka...they only take 6 fisherman at a time...mid August next summer. 30" rainbows common, occasional 35 inches every week during the season...mostly on mouse patterns. This is also when the big asiatic white spot char show up to spawn...

Yep, the humid air will form ice crystals and puncture your tires.
