WORDS

More words of wisdom we've gleaned from some wise heads during the curation of the first two SUBmags. Whether that is about catching carp, finding balance, keeping a home life steady, setting realistic expectations, or as in Samir's case, ditching it all for a life on the road.

Whether you are ever likely to fish Carces, or any French public waters, two minutes to sign the petition and potentially help save the stock of one of Europes greatest big carp waters from ending up like the Setton's stock above, minced through turbines or bagged up to die will hopefully go a long way!

It's just a cool box right? I mean... yes and no. Without a shadow of a doubt it's the best cool box I've even owned, and to be honest it's revolutionised how I eat and keep supplies fresh at the lake, after 30 years of having stuff go off, curdling milk in teas, and doing mid-trip supply runs, buying takeaways or eating some dried packet ration crap on the last night... no more - it wasn't cheap but it's easily earned its keep already
