I'm also looking for new tires, but I'm not sure if I'd need AT... I mostly drive in the city and then out to fishing spots on the weekend.
Also, if my 4runner is rated for 265/65-17 sized tires.. I probably shouldn't purchase a bigger tire right?
Yup, the g4z's are awesome. I've had mine for a year, and they're comfy in the winter and comfy in the summer!
Edit: I have the 2012 Model.. I think they've improved some of the waterproofing on the pockets.. I didn't know the chest pockets were not waterproof.. found out the hard way with a cell phone.
Also, I wish there was an inside chest pocket for valuables.
Cool!
Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, let's grab a Guinness and share fishing stories...
I'm a big fan of the guys at Fish Tales in the South.. They don't call themselves Calgary's Friendliest Fly Shop for no reason!
I was in your boat a little over a year ago wondering how to fish streamers..
All I can say is have patience! Over a year later and I still haven't caught a fish on a streamer!
As an update, the package took quite a while to get through customs, but it came! He just plucked some of the nicer feathers from the bird, put them in an air-tight bag and shipped them to me. Customs opened up and went through the bag, but it seems to have all made it!
Hopefully we are allowed more than one entry.. Tied up an ant and a trico.
12 Foam Ant.. Foam, saddle hackle, thread, hook
20 Al's Trico.. Black antron dubbing, grizzly hackle, thread, hook
Thanks for the help guys, my friend offered to ship the skins (frozen from the polar vortex) up to me on dry ice.. I instead asked him to pluck some of the tail & cape feathers and ship those.
I'd rather not have to deal with drying out pheasant pelts with a newborn baby arriving any day now. Maybe next time he bags some pheasants I will be better prepared!

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know the regulations on shipping a Pheasant skins, capes or feathers up from the USA to Canada? I have a friend in Nebraska who hunts pheasant & I'm wondering what customs would say about shipping some skins into Canada?
Is it legal? How do the fly tying materials websites ship skins into Canada?
Thanks guys!
Steve
