 We're all used the same way. Welcome back to the channel, everybody. How you doing today? I am doing well. Thank you for tuning in. Today is gonna be a vlog. We're heading out to the lake. Recently, I went to the boat ramp. They didn't open until nine. That's my local boat ramp. I was a little disappointed in that. I'll get to that in a second. But today's video, y'all, is brought to you by a cool new product. This sent me and I've been using and I love it. It is Cove Speakers. It's a portable Bluetooth speaker. You need to get you one of these. I've been using this in my little workshop here while I'm working on all my wood projects, which I've got something new. I'll show you in a second. But we use this in the Caymans, right over there. This thing is awesome and it's powerful. Let me show you how it works. Turn the unit on. You just hold that button right there. It is so simple to operate. It runs on Bluetooth. It's one of the easiest Bluetooth connected devices I've ever turned on. Literally the first time I used that, it was just self-explanatory. Then it starts searching for your phone. It connects and then, boom! It just starts playing. And the sound in here is great. You get a subwoofer option on here. I think they call it their ex-subwoofer technology. Anyways, you can set it on top like this, or you can lay it down. It comes with a USB connection right there, and you can charge it, and it runs up to eight hours on a single charge. Plus, you can get up to 30 feet away. You can use it to answer your phone calls and things like that as well, but listen to that. Boom! The sound is just clean, y'all. I was surprised how good the sound was of that little bitty device. I also listened to podcasts and news and everything like that. While I'm working around here, plus you can take it wherever you go with you. It's pretty cool, so turn it off. You just hold it down, and it shuts down. So I will leave a link down below for that. They are giving this to you guys at 65% off. It's a really good sounding system, and it's easy to use. So anyway, Cove Speakers, link down below. Thank you for sponsoring today's video Cove. And I have just been jamming out in here and getting it done, working on getting the dangle cave ready. And look, check this out. The dangle desk is what I've decided to call it, is not complete, but it is popping off in here, y'all. I wanted to come up with a storage system where I could get all of my nice tackle into some sort of drawers that are easily accessible or bench. And right now, this is what we got going on. So check this out. I do wanna mess around with making some drawers for this. I don't really know how to do that. I'm gonna have to research it. That should be another fun project, but basically I'll be able to pull some drawers out. Maybe even make some crates for down here and pull these boxes up. Right now, I've just kinda got the loose Bass Mafia tackle trays in here, but eventually I want to come up with some drawers where they'll all just fit in there nicely. And then I've decided up here, I am going to not do a plastics board, basically, because we have so many plastics, there's no way I'd even be able to get those up there. So I'm gonna do my line tools, do some random hard baits, stuff that's left out from when you go fishing, and just kind of the go-tos. Like you just go up in there and you're like, I think I want that. And I was gonna do all storage here as well, and I got to look at that and I was like, you know what? I kinda like the look of that. I kinda like to do a desk, a desk form, and be able to come in here, sit down on the workbench, and be able to work on stuff. Be able to work on all the tackle, jigs, maybe it's archery stuff. Wah bam, you know, something like that. And to tell you my thoughts on this little corner right here, this is kind of an awkward deal. I couldn't bring this all the way over because it would get in the way of walking through here. So I'm gonna do like a triangular situation where I run another piece of this MDF to this corner and then do a couple of little triangle shelves right there to store a bunch of stuff. So those are my thoughts. But I also wanna hear from you guys, so let me know in the comments what you think about this. And what are the things maybe you're seeing that could be something cool that I haven't thought about to better organize and do rods, tackle, all that kind of stuff. Okay, I have to put the fishing on pause. I just walked outside and just realized a chicken got out. Another chicken has gotten out. You've kept up with the Lake Life Family channel. You know, we already lost one while we were on vacation. And now another one has gotten out. Spiderweb, watch out for snakes, all kinds of predators. Okay girls, where did your friend go? Where did she go? She's definitely going. I've checked everywhere. I've walked a quarter mile around the woods. She gone. The only positive is that it was jiggles, probably the least like chicken out of the bunch. But it's a doozy. It's kind of messed up my plans too. I'm covered in burgers and probably ticks and poise and ivy wasted an hour of my day looking for this chicken. So I just got a call from a couple of my buddies and I think I'm gonna go shoot some arrows. I know I'm gonna fish this afternoon, but it's just a tragedy. It's a gosh dang tragedy. I've got to fix this thing. Like they're apparently hopping out and I don't know where they are. There's no sign of feathers. Like I don't know if anything took them. I don't know if she's just like squatting down and hiding as I'm looking. Like I have no idea. I don't know if a hawk came down, aliens, who knows. So we just got sassy in beddy life. That's it. That's sad. We've only got half the footage. I know we've lost half our flock. That's really sad. Yeah, you're covered in sticking to your leg hair. Yeah, I know. Well, I just discovered the carnage right here, y'all. There's feathers all over the place. She got taken by something. Something got her right here. The leaves are all messed up, scuffled. Feathers, something got her. Something definitely got her. There's feathers everywhere. They're fresh. It's just happened. This could have been what you heard. You heard squawking? Oh, it's bad back here. She got de-plumed big time. I literally think while I was talking to you guys on the camera or maybe shortly, I had to go in and watch Emmy for just a minute. And I was so excited. She was taking some steps. She wasn't fully walking, but she took like four or five steps. And then I got a phone call, and by the time all that happened, I think she got taken by either the fox or a bobcat. And I couldn't find any blood or anything, but there's feathers everywhere. She just got taken. She got dag gum taken. We're down. We're down to. We're down to chickens now. That means we're probably only getting like two eggs. Crap. Kind of a solemn day. It's weird. And the chickens are in a weird mood now because they're just sitting, they're freaked out. I feel bad. Emmy, I'm gonna go work on my archery skills. Get ready just in case one of these Angemoles comes out when I'm looking. Silently take out one of these predators. Oh man, tree house is wild. Don't go wandering in the woods. Just got to the range here. Couple things. I had to go to Chick-fil-A, y'all. Big announcement by Chick-fil-A. I am now officially on red status, which means I am the highest level status on their app that you can get. It's like red one status or something. It's very good. It's very serious. I'm there. So if you wanna congratulate me again. And also I didn't know this, but you can go tour their facility. Once you reach red status, like their main offices or something. I don't know. Also, here's what happened. I wanna apologize to Chick-fil-A right now, by the way. I got my order. Like I got my order. And y'all, sometimes my mind is just not there. I don't know if it's, I have a tumor or I'm just bored in this way, but I got my order. And then something happened with their point system. I felt like it wasn't working. So I was like trying to type it in. And then they gave me another order of my exact same thing. So they flubbed, but I didn't catch it. And they didn't catch it. So anyway, I got, I got double my order here. So I'm gonna go see if mullet man is hungry. Mullet man is here. Look at that mullet from afar, way out there, coming in hot. Hey, are you hungry? Am I? Yeah. No, I'm not. Okay. I got an extra order of Chick-fil-A they gave me. Rob might want it. Yeah, he's always in the mood. So yeah, me and me, mullet man and Rob are all gonna shoot our bows today. We're all going to the same place. We're going across the pond to a little town. We're getting tuned, tuned up to go do that. Doing some exploration. I lost a chicken, dude. Did you? Lost it to something this morning. This morning? Yes. I was looking, I was getting ready to go fishing. And then, oh, thank you. Thank you for the lens. I was getting ready to go fishing in a bobcat or a fox just straight up. Like while I was outside. Are you not going fishing? Nope, it's later today. But I was like, it messed my morning up. I searched for the chicken for an hour. Then I found all the feathers and I was like, crap. I had a dozen chickens. Yeah, I had a dozen chickens last year. And they were good. They were like about to lay. They were that size. Yeah, exactly the same as me. And then I left the coop door open one night. And the next morning, every single one of them was gone. That sucks, man. You put so much time and effort into them. I heard that skunks will just eat their heads off and suck the blood out. Yeah, that too. So I found a bunch of dead chickens. Like just spread out everywhere. They weren't all eaten. So I don't know. Might have been a skunk. Might have been a coop. I don't know. I'm definitely going to put my game camera inside of the coop now. But this was a little bit different because it happened during like midday or mid-morning. I think it was a fox. I don't know. Anyway, we're going to get in tune with the bows. We're out here at a place called Sinchamon Creek. They do 3D archery ranges. So you can go shoot very far out and shoot at 3D targets. It's better just shooting at a plain old foam situation. You want to see a little realism to it. Get the feeling. Hey, I got a big announcement. What's that? I just made a big accomplishment today. I'm officially chicken, Chick-fil-A, red one status. Oh, you don't have an extra. Yeah, it's fine. I know you beat me. You beat me to it, but I'm officially there. I don't know what I'm talking about. What you were actually talking about was Brian. I shoot up there, then it goes, I hope you know that LFG is just a tad salty that you made it before. And I was like, oh, no. I was like, Rob, beat me. Dang it. I thought I'm for sure I was going to beat Rob, anyway, we're both Chick-fil-A red one status. Just started shooting, and I am sucking big time. I feel like I missed the target completely. I think you grazed the top of them. It's completely off. I think I. Yeah, we're not stuck in them. Yeah, I think my arrow's just gone there. I think it's very good. Oh, yeah, you guys went deep into the foam. Me and Mal went deep. You're fletching good? No, it's a little jack. No, no, no. Say it's good. I did shoot the bear quite nicely. No, your arrows just stick in. They did stick in? I could have sworn and went right over them. There's some bear on the little backstrap. I hit backstrap? Oh, I didn't even see that. I didn't see that way in. Wow. That thing would have attacked us, killed us in the wild. All right, I got my bad shots out of the way, so y'all prepare for greatness now. Hey, we didn't lose any arrows. That's good. If John were here, those would all be in the woods and or broken. John B. What'd it do? This is the hardest shot we've taken so far. We've been out here a little while. We've taken a 93 yard shot. We've taken shots through the trees. It's been good. This is like realistic practice. I don't think we're going to have, I don't know. I say that. I don't think we're going to encounter these types of extremes, like this is 80 or 79 yards on top of the hill with grass in front of us. And it's like 98 degrees out here. Better. This is difficult shots right here. We're going to have a lot of close shots, but me and Rob are going to be doing some spot and stocking. So I don't know what we're going to encounter. But it's been pretty good. I feel really good about my bow. Stuck with this bow for a whole year now. It's about time for a new one, but I don't want to adjust currently while I'm shooting pretty good with this one. So see how the shot goes. It'll be time to call it for the day. You hit him? I'm pretty sure there's like a wind tunnel down there too. I got 79. Yeah. You hit him? I have no idea. You got to shoot right. There must be a little wind thing then. I think I just lost an arrow. Oh. That was high. That was high. Move the target. Are we missing the range? I feel like I was high. Might be more like 67. We're about to find out. I may only just lost two arrows. Wow, when I, yeah, I turned on the camera. I thought we were all going to lace it and then. I don't even see an arrow in that thing. Yeah, I see one. Oh yeah. I see a red arrow. And you shot it right in the ass. So I shot mine. Oh my gosh. We shot like eight shots of this thing, seven or eight shots. And I see one arrow. I know I lost two for sure. I lost one for sure. I hit a tree. No, we had lost about two ones. Wow. See Rob's got one right there. There has to be something up with that for all of us to miss it that badly. OK, it's time to head out. Mother man, what are you doing? What are you doing today? I think I'm going to go chill with Roberto. OK, well, I think these guys are going to go blow up some boats. So if you want to watch that, if you're into watching excitement, channels are linked down below. You guys have fun on your journeys. I got to get back to chicken care. And then we're going to go dangle. So let's head back to the crib. Time to finish the shelves for the dangle desk while it's hot before we go fishing. I've got salt in my hair. I do too. It looks pretty good. I'm going to do the bucket test. I'm going to sit on the bucket, put my knees up under here, and see how much room we've got. But that's another level of storage right there for the tackle. I dare say it's a pretty nice little job. I think I might extend the MDF board down here as well, go to about where my clog is right there. Oh yeah, we can cook with Crisco. 16 types of trays right there, put the little labels on them. It's still quite hot, but I'm going to head out there for an evening dangle now that I've got my desk kind of organized a little bit. So I've got the boat in the driveway, ready to rock and roll, ready to take action on these basses. All right, back from the lake. Done fishing for the day. I'm just kidding you all. I did go out to the lake. Fishing turned out to be really good, and it turned out to be a lot more footage, and this video is already really long. So I'm going to shut it down right here, and we're going to start up the fishing on the very next episode. I do want to share the fix for the chicken coop. A little fisherman innovation. I ended up running some 65-pound braided line around the entire top part of the coop posts. I'm hoping that anything that tries to get in, they're going to encounter that, they're going to get tangled up. It's not exactly barbed wire. I mean, let's be honest, but I'm hoping it's going to deter things from getting in. And if the chickens, I've already clipped their wings again, but if they try to escape, they're going to hit that, do the same thing. They're going to go back in. But if you've got solutions, if you've got predator problems, let me know in the comments down below. And I'm going to be spending the rest of my day today getting ready for me and Lunker's TV. Big extravaganza, global travel trip. Obviously, you saw us shooting our tree today. So I think you can guess what's going to happen there. But while you're watching this, I'm probably on a giant airplane flying over the ocean. So subscribe right here so you don't miss the next videos coming up. Love you guys. Stay tuned. We'll see you right back here on the water on the next time.
