We love to showcase our Orvis Endorsed Partners and Tikchik Narrows Lodge in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is no exception. On his final day at Alaska’s TIKCHIK NARROWS LODGE, INC., Orvis' own Philip Monahan ventured onto the lakes with guide William Paul, aiming to hook a big char and some northern pike. Positioned in the narrows near the lodge, a cool breeze swept down from Nuyakuk Lake. Overnight, the temperature had dropped noticeably, and the fish appeared reluctant to chase their flies far. Despite the challenging conditions, Phil managed to land a few small char and lake trout. Suddenly, Will exclaimed, “Bear!” and pointed across the shore opposite the lodge. A young, lanky brown bear fixed its gaze on the pair momentarily before returning to nibble on lichens. During this pre-salmon and pre-berry season, the bears, truly omnivorous, seek any available calories. After observing Phil and Will for about five minutes, the bear lost interest and wandered off into the willows. With the coast clear, they resumed the fishing adventure!

In a recent blog, Tim Ferriss shared a powerful analogy from Newt Gingrich on focusing on what truly matters: A lion can catch and eat field mice, but the energy spent on this is greater than the caloric gain. Essentially, a lion that hunts mice will starve. To thrive, a lion needs to hunt antelope, which requires more effort but provides substantial nourishment. This translates to our work: Are you spending your time on minor tasks (field mice) that don't contribute significantly to your goals? Instead, focus on larger, more impactful tasks (antelope) that drive real progress, getting the right things done. At the end of the day, ask yourself, “Did I spend today chasing mice or hunting antelope?” #Strategy #Focus #Productivity #gettingthingsdone

On honeymoon, riding the rapids around Victoria Falls, our inflatable boat on the Zambezi River explosively deflated; James Lepper disappeared under the water and my half of the canoe was sinking; we were rescued and the boat recovered, and found to have a BITE out of the underside, likely to be from a 14-16 ft crocodile - a similar size beast to this American cousin! #telemarketing, #marketingyourbusiness requires resilience, and life experience like ours makes taming demons less scary :-) #coldcalling #businessdevelopement https://lnkd.in/gzdmcdtR

This is probably the best read I have ever experienced in regards to aoudad! Check out this short write up and let us know what you think! Double S Adventures
Aoudad. Besides a really cool name, do you know what it is? It’s a Barbary Sheep that is typically found in the desert mountains of North Africa, with chestnut fleece and thick, wild-looking horns. Did you know that they also live in Texas? Like axis deer and nilgai, they were brought to Texas decades ago for hunting and over time escaped from ranches or were released into the wild. Nature is hardy, and they’ve flourished in the mountains of West Texas to become an “honorary native” of sorts. It’s amazing how many big game species from around the world have made a new home in Texas, and how lucky are we to experience them free range! If you’d like to experience these animals close up, Double S Adventures has an opportunity in October to chase them through the Davis Mountains of West Texas for 2-8 hunters! This is prime time during the rut, plus an all-inclusive experience. PM me for more information or if you just want to know more about aoudad because you find them fascinating like me! 🤩 #aoudad #outdoors #westtexas #DoubleSAdventures #CamoWearingBallerina

🦁✨ Just witnessed the majestic Sleeping Lion in Kruger National Park! 🌿 Did you know that lions spend a significant portion of their day snoozing? 😴 Here's why these big cats are the nap kings of the savannah: 🌅 Nocturnal Lifestyle: Lions are primarily nocturnal hunters, and their prey is often more active during the cooler nighttime hours. So, they conserve energy during the heat of the day and gear up for the night's adventures. 👑 Top of the Food Chain: Being apex predators means they don't have many natural enemies. Once they've made a successful kill, they can afford to rest and digest, storing energy for the next hunt. 👊 Energy Conservation: Lions are powerful, but hunting takes a toll. Long chases and intense bursts of energy during hunts are followed by extended periods of rest. It's a crucial strategy to maintain their strength and stamina. 🌞 Beat the Heat: In the scorching African sun, lions seek shade and rest to avoid overheating. Energy conservation is essential for survival in their challenging environment. 🚫 Heavy is the Head: Lions have large, muscular heads, and their manes add extra weight. Resting helps them avoid exhaustion and strain on their neck muscles. Next time you spot a snoozing lion, appreciate the incredible balance they maintain in the circle of life! 🌍💤 #SleepingLion #WildlifeWonder #KrugerNationalParkAdventures

Making The Most of Your Choices Bow Fiddle Rock is a fine sight on the Moray Coast. A great piece of natural beauty, and if you take the coastal walking route from Cullen, at the right time, not long past the rock is a lovely chippy in Portknockie.... As you gaze at the rock, you notice the gulls, nesting all the way up, diving into the water and coming back up with a fish. Some follow the fishing boats, knowing they'll pick something up. They choose to live remotely, in a potentially precarious place where they can be hammered by strong winds. They make the most of their surroundings; the precarious rock means fewer creatures will bother them, and they have an abundance of food on their doorstep. It's worth remembering that we have choices. We may want more, or better. We could start by making more of what we have. What choices will you make, and how will you make the most of what your choices bring you? #BowFiddleRock #Choices #MakeTheBest #Appreciation #Progress #Abundance
