Outfitting Days stories?

A recent post I made, got me thinking...

I like to still think I'm young, but I guess I'm not. Turning 63 soon.

Would anyone be interested in regular "outfitting days" stories of some crazy stuff I've seen? Might include... Dave Sebesta, Don Beans (both local legends who I supervised in outfitting), stories of the 70s & 80s +, Quetico trapping (yes it happened), canoeing with celebrities, sad stories of tragedy, some practical joke humor, and more.

I'm no writer and I won't crank it out fast, but maybe a story every few months, under "Outfitter Days" title.

Any interest?

By the way, I'm now into my 4th career. I'm a blackjack dealer at the local casino.

I'd be interested. I'm 3 years younger than you and worked at an outfitter for 4 summers in the early 80s.

Yes I would read them.

I would like to hear what it was like wrestling a bear too.

Love to hear some stories. Your young, I am turning 65 this Nov. and took my first canoe trip when I was 10. We were camping on Iron lake when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.

Bring ‘em on, Stump!
