![]() Besides the basic down to earth good fly fishing, it also featured some good reel singing brought to you by the good guys at Bozeman Reel Co. “What are they doing feeding in the DAY?!!”Īs we all watched in awe of the fat browns that not only chased, but smashed some top water mice in BUCK NASTY. The best comment of the night goes to Eric who was seated behind me with his son, who walked away with some good Yeti/F3T swag. I guess I will have to buy the movie from Brian Pitser at The Northern Angler and have him autograph it. I had hopes of seeing a little more Michigan footage in CARPLAND from RABeattie, which recounts the history of carp in America and how they are becoming the once sought after gamefish they were over a century ago. So I guess it did what it was supposed to do, I have a new appreciation for all of the wonderful blessings I have. Beautifully done and worthy of admiration, it still made me feel like I take for granted for much of what I have in my life. The next preview for Healing Waters “ Larry Five-coats” left me a little bit depressed. Understanding that 30 to 40% of the people in attendance here had never been to an F3T before, it is imperative that we understand we need to protect our resources for future generations. ![]() ![]() I get the message but it seems to be prevalent in almost all of our previews. Over and over I got the message of conservation catch and release and being aware of our impact on the environment. Those Moments showed some awesome times on the Dean River chasing beautiful Steelhead in British Columbia, bonefish with Mellow Fellow in the Bahamas and mice eating rainbows in Alaska. YOW! (more like an ad for Land Rover) was next and turned on the juices for Iceland, 90 miles covered some awesome fishing in Cuba and more conservation from the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, Salt 365 showed the connection between to anglers from across the globe and their passion for being on the water, and the increase practice of C&R in the salt angling world. Whether you believe in global warming or not there, is a definite science in climate change and we are losing some sensitive habitat and the trout that live in these waters may not be there in 20 years. The next preview was CO2LD WATERS and concerning the issue of our carbon dioxide emissions. I was looking forward to seeing many of the previews from Alaska to Mongolia chasing big browns in Buck Nasty. It’s true we do need to disconnect and get out and find a true connection. And I’m taking pictures of what’s going on. Simone, sitting next to me with the blue white glow underneath her face while she’s playing Minecraft. Ironic that the first preview, OUT OF TOUCH was about becoming unconnected, putting down our phones and putting down our iPads. ![]() Walking in, making my greetings & shaking hands, it felt like we were at a Duck Dynasty convention and I was about a full beard shy of fitting in. Looking back I realized I haven’t missed one of these in almost 6 years, Simone has accompanied me on half of those trips. It's about saving the health of a nation.Simone and I went to the F3T last Friday night at Boyne Mountain. Award-winning filmmakers Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke follow dramatic human stories as well as leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. After decades of resistance, a movement to bring innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing into our high-tech, costly system is finally gaining ground. But the current battle over cost and access does not ultimately address the root of the problem: we have a disease-care system, not a healthcare system.ĮSCAPE FIRE examines the powerful forces maintaining the status quo, a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. It’s not surprising that healthcare tops many Americans' concerns and is at the center of a political firestorm in our nation's Capitol. WE PAY MORE, YET OUR HEALTH OUTCOMES ARE WORSE. About 65% of Americans are overweight and almost 75% of healthcare costs are spent on preventable diseases that are the major causes of disability and death in our society. We pay more, yet our health outcomes are worse. We spend $300 billion a year on pharmaceutical drugs––almost as much as the rest of the world combined. Lisa Uri Gail Jett, FNP Marjon Faivre, L.Ac Allison Suran, PT Mollie Shea, HHP and Lynne Hite (Wellness in the Workplace)ĮSCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system?Īmerican healthcare costs are rising so rapidly that they could reach $4.2 trillion annually, roughly 20% of our gross domestic product, within ten years.
