We swap school-lunch lore and mustard hustles for deer-stand stories, spice catastrophes, and early-ice plans, all while sorting out what counts as “real hunting.” Comfort, patience, and good company win more than pain and swagger.

• cafeteria rules that never added up
• fifth-grade mustard resale as supply meets demand
• capsaicin science, milk vs water, and safe spice habits
• eating contest strategy, pacing, and aftermath
• deer watching over deer blasting, buck fights, wind, and restraint
• cold-weather gear, insulated stands, and staying in the game
• early-ice Red Lake for numbers, Devils Lake for giants
• live scope threading spoons through flooded timber
• waterfowl setups, brushing blinds, spinner skepticism
• thermostat wars, comfort vs cost in winter and summer
• AI as a tool for polish, not a replacement for judgment
