OS 1394: Lightning Strikes, Bears and BIG Bamboo

No, the guys aren’t picketing outside the studio. On this episode they shared some shocking stories about near misses with lightning coming out of the tragic story about the two men killed by lightning in Colorado recently.  Forget Halloween…this is some really scary stuff.

Speaking of scary, nothing will put the fear in you like a run-in with a bear. The guys talked quite about bears, how many there are, and how some groups are trying to stop hunters from managing the population.  That’s probably the scariest part!

Things kinda went sideways as well after Jeff shared this week’s gear tip – we got to talking about bamboo. You’ll have to listen in for all the amazing aspects of that grass (yes, you read that right – bamboo is a grass).


  • Here’s your L.V. Hiers gear tip of the week: you can’t spell “tip” without TP! Yep, Jeff’s tip was about bamboo toilet paper!  He couldn’t recommend it highly enough.  Click here for the perfect place to get your own rolls.
  • Here’s your Ring Power CAT tip of the week! Captain Kevin was able to get offshore fishing this week. Bottom fishing is outstanding! Sea bass, trigger fish, lane snapper and an occasional cobia. When we have weeks of strong onshore winds it only helps the fishing! And there are pogies everywhere!
