What toys do you take on long sessions

[arthur2sheds]

Dunno if this has been done before.... but on long stays I usually take a couple of gadgets along with me if things get slow....

Kindle eReader
Digi-Radio(with earphones).
Mobile phone.

Winter weekends go a tad quicker with a couple of distractions, specially if it's dark from 4.30pm till nearly 8 the following morning...

Do you take anything like that on a 48hr plus trip....???

strange you should ask, i normaly take my kindle fire, phone and radio but my last few trips i have gone in my camper, it comes equiped with 22" tv + dvd player + satelite reciever+ xbox one + fridge (for cold beer) my best toy yet :w:wh

No toys as such but lots more food

 

[Nobby C (ACA)]

Cuddly ones.

Digital radio.
Research material, I do a lot of reading on the bank.
Chess computer.
Fiction books. Not got a Kindle. Yet. Maybe this winter.
LCD TV for the long winter nights, I may take it in the summer too but invariably it doesn't get turned on.

I can't imagine a 48 hour trip, mine are usually 4-6 hours max.
If sport is slow I would rather go home where there's plenty of other things to do.
Must admit I don't quite see the point of going fishing and then spending the time with gadgets, but each to his own, I guess.

As above, I usually spend a few hours during the day (10 - 3 or 4) a couple of times a week on the rivers and travel light. Looking forward to starting my season (only a few enjoyable group fishin's with friends so far) in the comming weeks now that the house is almost completed.......

If a two night or longer stay then I cannot understand anyone who wants to be: cold, hungry, wet or uncomfortable . . . . . . .

As to "toys" then only my radio and ear plugs for the evenings, or day time if there is a Test Match going on . . . . .

Otherwise, then this album shows my set-up reasonably well . . . . .

In the immortal words of Mr McEnroe, you cant be serious, Jon, hee, hee.

Nothing. Bar a book sometimes.
I go fishing to fish. I'll happily do a week with no mod cons. I couldn't think of anything worse.

 

[wanderer]

Fishing itself is a form of escapism, leave the world of comfort behind and follow those primitive hunting instincts that exist in all of us, otherwise it becomes a mechanical reflection of the rat race.

 

[eyelburm8]

Just a book, I only fish day sessions.

Don't think I've ever done what can be described as a long session. Rarely fish for longer than 4 or 5 hours!

Me too law, doesn't matter how long I go fishing, I take nowt more than a book and a radio. love listening to radio 4 programme 'sorry I haven't got a clue' Probably some fishing irony there as well !!

For all sessions the DAB radio is my company.

For long sessions, books (proper books not kindles) come along, and of course the obligatory Iphone is never far away.

 

[ontrentangling]

I usually take my laptop - it rarely sees much action during the daylight hours, but "Netflix and Krill" is a saying that has become ubiquitous with the longer winter nights, especially when the going is slow.

 

[snooozer]

I consider a phone an essential item whatever your doing so that only leaves the Kindle with a book on how to tie knots and hypnotize fish, might see about getting my money back on the last part

small 10" tv, radio and phone, my radio is just a plain am/fm one, I've found the small digital radio's really heavy on the batteries.
