One of the goals of E-FISH-NC Outdoors is to be the best (advertisement) filter available to eliminate bean soup, bologna sandwiches or any other B.S. that some marketing departments may try to feed the public… Or in other words, to be the catch all and end all for the final word on products and services that are truly beneficial in a world of marginality.
In order to fully appreciate what we are doing here, one first needs to understand that there are two basic use characteristics with all possessions in life - practical and non practical. (There is no real condemnation with embracing non practical things as long as one can afford them, but we will be dealing only with the practical aspects within our reviews.)
These two characteristics can be observed in virtually all things we possess from the clothes we wear to the cars we drive and everything else surrounding our lives. Personal desires often play into this, however as you realize (what void your trying to fill and) the actual purpose behind your expenditures, you’ll seldom regret these decisions.
Even with a specific purpose or goal established, a clear-cut choice still may not be evident due to the sundry of advertising. First, the line between need and want has been severely distorted because of rampant advertising in general. And second, with so many companies touting that their product or service is best, it’s easy for one to be unsure of the actual worth within the wide assortment of things offered.
When considering true value, one must bear in mind that anything and everything can be done in deficiency or excess:
Monetarily speaking, one can under spend or over spend on a variety of products – the cheapest products typically have the
poorest standards (quality) and the most expensive products seldom have real advantages to justify their price (value).
The same can be said for labors put forth, whether working on a hunting cabin or hunting dog, one can be shoddy or one can
be over meticulous.
Regardless of the expenditure, there’s always a point where the returns are at a relative maximum and yet there is virtually no waste; it’s this is the point that we seek in all we our endeavors.
