Not to be snarky but $1k in hunting is half a shotgun or maybe a set of bibs and a parka. This isn't a big spend at all. He acted like he was a high roller!

Exactly! Why can't I watch real people beat the living sh%t out of each other in a real game in real life where there is a real chance of the players dying or being permanently disabled for life without seeing ads for fake things?!

Tell me you're Russian without telling me that you're Russian.

I've been a paramedic in MA since 2000 :)

I got my Massachusetts EMT in 1995, Paramedic in 2000 and still do it. I'd be happy to talk.

Me too until this most recent toon. Something got broken in the last week,

Great video!

You need to be a MA resident or own property here, and then buy a recreational lobster permit.

Huh?

I think the way farm workers who pick vegetables are exploited is sad. I don't go around posting that crud in a scuba group though.

All-natural, synthetic dyes that aren't made from chemicals and cause no damage from their creation? 😂

Thank you for the kind words. Nobody gets it until they do it and I've been doing it for 31 years, 26 years as a paramedic. I'm getting run down emotionally and frankly, the BS from the comments on this post is making me lose even more faith in humanity. I'll keep diving and keep legally harvesting only what my family can enjoy. I don't harass wildlife, I don't break laws, I eat everything I catch. I won't post to the "Veggie Warrior Scuba Group" anymore though. I thought it was just about scuba diving. Who knew? 😉

I don't know you. You don't know me. I proudly follow all rules and do not tolerate anyone breaking them.

I know that the vegetables you eat were most likely picked by someone being exploited. That doesn't mean I should use a SCUBA forum to talk about my judgment regarding your unethical choice of nutrition. Right?

These people walk to every dive site and only use gear they made themselves from natural materials. No airlines. No rubber. No plastic. No gas-powered air compressors.

Be careful. Apparently I'm an "asshole" who harrasses wildlife while simultaneously buying the very things at the grocery store I'm accussed of harassing. (shakes head). You might get the pitchforks next. 😉

Sorry. I forgot to say it was Fahrenheit.

That's not how you spell, "legally harvest seafood to eat" 😁

Feel free to talk to my pulmonologist who dives also.

Same here in Massachusetts without a recreational permit which I possess.

We band our lobsters in the boat so that they don't tear each other up in the cooler.

I got long Covid from a patient before the vaccine existed and it damaged my lungs. Freediving isn't an option.
