There comes a time in every man’s life that he needs an emergency slush fund. Yup, build it up slowly even if it is only $25.00 per pay check. Don’t use that money for anything other than for hunting or an absolute emergeny. If the car breaks down or refrigerator dies, not an emergency. Do not touch it, not for things you can actually live without. Depending on how you get paid, whether it be once a week or twice a month you could have $600.00 - $1200.00 in it after a year. After 5-10 years of doing this $3000.00 - $12,000.00 in your fund. Remember, that it is your emergency fund. Braces for the kids are not an emergency, nor is the bald tires on your truck. ;);)

Before I place my order, will @redsquirrel have tried all 3 sizes. We both like lil Debbie’s and I’m down with the size he likes.

I've tried the medium and large. I could probably wear the medium early season but the large just fits me much better. I'm expecting the XL will be too big because its meant for the bigger guys but I'll still try it out at some point.

And I don't like little debbie's, I have "cheeseburger breath" like @BassBoysLLP lol. I'm also "big boned" :p I have the same build as my father and brother, but they are 6'1" and 5'11" and I stopped growing at 5'7"!!!

My technique is to talk talk talk about it til she says "just order it, we know you're going to anyways" Sometimes I wonder if she is interested at all about talking about saddlehunting or any kind of hunting

Why even bring it up. Let me give you some advice.
This weekend I went clean up after the framers on my house. I been eyeing the new Mikita 36v blower since I have a bunch of Mikita tools already. She wanted to come along. I brought the old gas blower that is really a piece of junk. I got busy doing tractor work and gave her the blower to blow out the basement. Of course I did this midday. Full sun. She lasted less than 10 min. She said that blower was junk!
Did I tell her I was looking at a new blower?
NO! Your 1st mistake was giving too much information years ago.
I just agreed with her (they like that)and when I got home I ordered it. When she finds out I got a new blower, I’ll tell her it was her idea.
See, it’s simple!
 
You guys who are experiencing the “wifey no blues” you have to play this differently. All relationships should be honest but lets be real do they ask you to go get their hair done or nails... what about when you come home from work and there is a bunch of new crap laying around and she was busy redecorating!!! The goal is to avoid a fight so continue with the “yes dears and it looks great honeys”. Get what you want when you can i mean shoot dont go homeless for it but even then you will be the most prepared homeless guy on the street lol.

I personally use the dumpster method or the alternate shipping method. If im not gonna be home i write the delivery guy a note and post it to my door saying to place packages in the dumpster if im not home and take the note the note off the door. I try to hook them up with a small dunkin gift card or throw them a $5-10 bill. Its best to meet your delivery guys to arrange in person which is what i have all set up now and the system works flawless. I get them a little extra something around the holidays to show appreciation because hell the small amount goes a long way. No explaining to the wife total secrecy. Or just ship your stuff to another location like a relatives house “i would avoid inlaws” and tell them to keep it a secret.

This is all psychological so in her mind we don’t need multiples of anything because she already knows you have one that works and if it aint broke then you don’t need something new lol.... yeah right!!!! Tell her she doesn’t need a new haircut every month or nails done every two or three weeks (don’t do this) but you get what im saying lol.

When it comes to relationships be honest about the important things. However, when it comes to hunting gear think BLACK OPS and your behind enemy lines how do you get the nukes to safety.

Lol this convo is hilarious! It took me a long time to get the wife on a budget, even longer to get my own allowance included in that budget, lol.

At least now I know that I'll eventually get there, just need to figure out how to increase my allowance lol.

I'm probably the only guy who's wife gets her hair done twice a year and nails when she's in a wedding party? She buys clothes almost never.... I need her to spend more money so I don't feel bad! Haha, don't tell her I said that.
