Armchair Fishing or Float Tubes For Under $100.00

Written on June 23rd, 2010 by no shouts

The definition of Armchair Travel is ‘to participate or experience indirectly or vicariously’. (Vicariously means taking the place of another). In other words, from the comfort of an armchair we indirectly participate in the experiences of someone else?

 

Armchair Travel – how many of us remember the pleasure we derived from paging through the National Geographic, viewing photos of places we would never get the chance to see, or reading about life elsewhere and enjoying the stimulation of new sights and unusual shenanigans of others?

 

How many people read the tales written by authors like William Dalrympole and James Michener, authors whose work revealed life, the odd, the highs, the lows, the marvels of lives lived in places our own feet were unlikely to touch.

 

Both men left legacies for writers of the future, notably Mitcheners Centre for Writers.

 

However, the point is, the audience for this type of information imparting has grown a lot smaller. TV channels, broadcasting, but most of all air travel, and in the last 30 years or so – budget air travel – has changed all that.

 

Take a pilgrimage to Jerusalem,for example. A once in a lifetime concept for Jews or Christians (if they were fortunate, that is). Now over 8 million make the pilgrimage each year. Before that, it was prayer, meditation, heightened imagination, joining with others of like mind to remember and talk about past wonders, reading about and following in the footsteps of Jesus or the Prophets.

 

One no longer needs to read much in order to gain information to other places. It can be streamed into one’s living room and the opportunity to travel to places of interest is now affordable for a great majority of people.

 

Such are the changing ways of life today.

 

Armchair travel though, has an element of comfort about it. It is not called ‘wooden bench travel’ or ‘wooden chair travel’ or ‘wooden plank travel.’ There’s this nuance of relaxation and comfort.

 

So it is with Armchair fishing. Here comfort is taken to the ultimate height. The inflatables fill out to look exactly like armchairs with their comfortable arm rests and padded backs. But how can a craft so luxuriously stress-free be operated? The designers have thought of that.

 

Navigation and tracking are issues which have been considered and are built in to the design. They are also called Float Tubes. Relevant because all fishing boats float.

 

Here is an opportunity to enjoy your own armchair fishing experience from your own Float Tube. No need to hear about it second hand, from the experiences of another.

 

Of course, some of them are more expensive than others, but for a start, they are inexpensive, innovative, comfortable and fun.

 

To view some go to the website below.

 

If you would like to view the photos use the STORE on the right menu. Choose ‘boats’ and ‘float tubes’
