Rugged or Unrugged?
Well, of course we all know that I'm rugged! Aint no figure skates or ballet costumes hangin' in my closet! Anythin' (rugged for anything) to do with fishin' or huntin' is just plain rugged. But I want to hear what you folks at home think is rugged... and unrugged!
Send me an email with your list of rugged and unrugged stuff. Keep the list down to 4 ruggeds and 4 unruggeds and maybe I'll use it on our show! If I do, we'll send you some really RUGGED stuff, like an Officially Rugged hat and T shirt. Then, you'll be famous because your name will appear on our show."Now that's OFFICIALLY RUGGED!"
Yours Ruggedly,
RD
Here's a bunch of rugged quizes we've received recently, cut and pasted from viewer emails:

Okay, so here is my rugged and not so rugged list.. Rugged... 1) ice fishing in minus 40 and having to pee outside, (So this really only applies to females, cause guys do it all the time). 2) four wheeling all day leading the pack in the middle of horse- and deerfly season, (trust me, you eat a few). 3) hiking 26 kilometers a day with two kids, a 30-06, and a backpack full of snacks, oh and an extra clip in case we see that big bull moose.. Not Rugged 1) going to the mall and fighting off all the other people who showed up for the sale.. 2) going to visit relatives that make you go to a gardening store.. 3) having to decide between pink and hot pink for a figure skating dress. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoyed them. Misty Paul |

Even RD should be able to appreciate this Rugged / Unrugged Quiz: 1. Filling out a Jury Summons questionaire stating that you are "away from home on buisness" so you do not miss opening day of the deer season. 2. Convincing your wife that the term "hunting widow" means she is the "boss". 3. Taking your wife to hunting/fishing camp so you don't miss out on home cooked meals. 4. Driving a blaze orange ford pinto because you it is the only vehicle you can legally hunt out of and still be safely seen. 5. Packing a tackle box full of pink, red and purple lures becuase these are the only colors your wife will let you buy. 6. Fishing is a term your wife uses when she wants information from you. 7. When you are so in tune with nature that your family and friends say that you have "deerdar" instead of radar. 8. Pulling your boss out of a meeting because someone spotted two deer with locked antlers on your company land. 9. Fishing with RD and letting him catch more fish than you because you want to be invited back. 10. Having a shore lunch consisting of tofu, mushrooms, nuts and berries. Enjoy, Craig Grain Valley, Missouri |

hi rd...thanks for the volume one of the magazine...i got it today, and hope to have quiet time tomorrow to thoroughly get into it.....and thanks for the autograph, and i must admit, i loved the envelope address ...chuckle...
here is the rugged / unrugged list for the ladies that i have been working on, although i don't think it is near as good as the last one i sent you, since the real one i sent was all true stuff, and for this one, i had to try and guess and make stuff up, so, not sure if it is good or not...
anyhow, here it is :
RUGGED OR NOT RUGGED (for the ladies)
1. Packing fly dope in your tackle box, for your man, when you already have a netted bug vest for yourself.
2. Buying that cross bow for HIM , at Valentine’s, when that fishing rod you always wanted, is on sale.
3. Being okay with the food and beverage cooler at HIS end of the boat.
4. Spending a gift certificate on makeup, instead of camouflage paint.
5. Passing on a candle party, to go fishing instead.
6. Getting dinner guests to hurry up and eat, so you can get to the t.v. in time for “Originally Rugged” to start.
7. When you accidentally snag a skin diver, who has NOT marked out any area at all to tell you he is there, you insist on “bringing him in” on your sturgeon fishing line, to see if he is cute.
8. Retrieving your own duck, in a soaking wet swamp, since you don’t have a dog.
9. Arranging for “the boys” to carry your disabled husband to the best fishing spot on the island, just so he can’t say he didn’t get a chance to out - fish you.
10. Wearing a skimpy swimsuit in the boat, at a fishing derby,
to distract the competition as they troll by you.
oh, and by the way, i have some rugged jokes, pictures, videos and audios on my puter.. if you ever want any of them, let me know and i can send one here or there....but, i won't unless i hear from you, since i would imagine you get enough email already to start a good cook out ! so, if you want them, let me know...if not, i won't send them..
thanks again for volume one !!! i can't wait for tomorrow afternoon to read it !
rugged yours
joyce carlson
p.s...i asked the hubby, and yes, he thinks your show is really "RUGGED", and likes it.

RUGGED: You're heading down to your best trout hole and you see a rattler, just throw your hat over it and start fish'n. You take aim on the biggest elk in a lifetime, out of the corner of you eye you see a wolf. Just say, I was here first. You are on the first trout trip of the season, the water is ice cold. Wham, a big pig slams it. you play it to the bank, he spits it just as you are about to grab it. You jump head first into the water to get that fish. You just had knee surgury, three days later is opening day for bull elk. you go anyway. NOT RUGGED: You and and your brothers are in elk camp and are attached by yellow jackets. You scream like little girls. You are in hunt camp and you need flavored creamer for your coffee. Your hunt buddy ask what is that smell in your hunting truck, you say the wife hung a flower odorizer to help it smell better. Your wife makes you put a fu - fu collar on your bird dog. |

Hey RD, my name is Taylor and I'm from your hometown of Thunder Bay. I just saw your 30 min of bloopers on TV. It was very rugged. I hope I never see you doing another unrugged moment RD, it was funny though because you just added that part in the middle of a show. I really enjoyed your rugged drum solo, you are a very good drummer RD, I am a drummer myself and I'm really being inspired by your talent. Drummers are very rugged! I'm gonna give this rugged quiz a try and see what you think! Rugged 1. Watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs on a 15-inch portable tv on your pontoon boat, while fishing at the same time! 2. You fall out of a boat and get your only change of clothes soaked, but you keep on fishing anyways! 3. Catching a 20 pound Sturgeon with 8 pound line on your rod! 4. Catching a 8 pound walleye in late May in hail and snow-rain conditions and the temperature is just under zero degrees and your body is shivvering and your hands are almost numb! 5. You go to take a dump in the woods, but you then notce you didn't bring any toilet paper with you, so you use leaves from a tree as toilet paper! Unrugged 1. You wake up and see that there is a bit of frost on your window and go back to bed, instead of sucking it up and going to hunt for a 10pt buck. 2. Learning how to dance for your cousins wedding, instead of going out and fishing for lake trout on Lake Superior. 3. Going shopping for new clothes for your graduation, rather than going to The Tradgically Hip concert out by a water front where you could see them play in concert and do a bit of fishing while experiencing a rugged time. 4. You have a chance to have your birthday party anywhere you want, instead of going moose hunting you choose to go bowling with some friends. 5. You go on a fishing trip with your friends, you accidentally trip and fall on a rock and then see that you cut your leg on the rock, you start to cry and ask to go home, instead you could have been a man and sucked it up and went fishing and caught a 15 pound salmon with your friends. All these events in the Rugged and Unrugged quiz were all true stories from my friends and some people I've talked to before, you may notice that the rugged ones were all true stories that I was part of, the unrugged stories I avoided because I am Rugged! Hope you like this quiz RD and I hope to see you around Thunder Bay sometime again (maybe at the Blues Festival)Till then, take care RD! |

my rugged quiz! in the middle of work your buddy calls and says that he saw a huge bull moose, but you have the only tag for it, so you leave work to go get it. You miss the opening weekend of deer hunting to go to a spa and get pampered with your wife. You run out of bullets on your way back to the truck while partridge hunting,thats when you see one sittig there so you kill it with a rock. You and your friends are fishing when your friend accidentally hooks ur pants thinking he go a fish reals in and rips them off to rveal you're waering a male thong. |

RUGGED: buying a camper instead of a house so you can go hunting any time you feel like it. your wife tells you to go get dinner so you go to the lake. sell your stuff so you can afford to go on the hunting trip with your buddies. not buy anything but shells for a year to show your wife that she spends more than you in one day at the mall. UNRUGGED: collect toys for a hobby. sell your hunting stuff so your wife can go to the spa. take toilet paper to the woods in case you see the biggest deer you've ever seen. buy a fly rod cause your buddy has one. |

Even RD should be able to appreciate this Rugged / Unrugged Quiz: 1. Filling out a Jury Summons questionaire stating that you are "away from home on buisness" so you do not miss opening day of the deer season. 2. Convincing your wife that the term "hunting widow" means she is the "boss". 3. Taking your wife to hunting/fishing camp so you don't miss out on home cooked meals. 4. Driving a blaze orange ford pinto because you it is the only vehicle you can legally hunt out of and still be safely seen. 5. Packing a tackle box full of pink, red and purple lures becuase these are the only colors your wife will let you buy. 6. Fishing is a term your wife uses when she wants information from you. 7. When you are so in tune with nature that your family and friends say that you have "deerdar" instead of radar. 8. Pulling your boss out of a meeting because someone spotted two deer with locked antlers on your company land. 9. Fishing with RD and letting him catch more fish than you because you want to be invited back. 10. Having a shore lunch consisting of tofu, mushrooms, nuts and berries. Enjoy, Craig Grain Valley, Missouri |

RUGGED: You're heading down to your best trout hole and you see a rattler, just throw your hat over it and start fish'n. You take aim on the biggest elk in a lifetime, out of the corner of you eye you see a wolf. Just say, I was here first. You are on the first trout trip of the season, the water is ice cold. Wham, a big pig slams it. you play it to the bank, he spits it just as you are about to grab it. You jump head first into the water to get that fish. You just had knee surgury, three days later is opening day for bull elk. you go anyway. NOT RUGGED: You and and your brothers are in elk camp and are attached by yellow jackets. You scream like little girls. You are in hunt camp and you need flavored creamer for your coffee. Your hunt buddy ask what is that smell in your hunting truck, you say the wife hung a flower odorizer to help it smell better. Your wife makes you put a fu - fu collar on your bird dog. |

RD, We live in Clayton Illinois and watch your show every week. We hunt and fish, but we always take time out to watch the Rugged Dude! We really love the show! Here are some Rugged questions for you. 1) Going to a tupperware party with your wife, Picking out tupperware knowing your going to use them to store your fish, bait, and fishing equipment. 2) Giving your wife earrings you can use as fishing lures. 3) Giving your GrandKids Berkley Power Baits to chew on rather then Gummy Worms. 4) Going to a Lingerie party with your wife, getting mad and Leaving because they did not have camo patterns. 5)Painting your fingernails before going hunting,only to mess them up again shooting a big buck. |

Love your show. I think im rugged but I want to be oficially rugged, so here is my quiz. 1. crawling through the south Ga. swamp at 11:30 at night sneaking up on a 350 lb wild boar with a black powder rifle & taking him at 20 yards. 2. Staying in the camper watching the late movie because " you don't know what might be out there in that swamp at night". 3. Getting up at 4:30 AM to get the campfire going to cook the backstrap of the hog you killed & butchered last night for breakfast 4. Coming home from the hunt early because the weather report calls for cold and rain 5. Getting out of bed, grabing your bow & going outside in your underware to take a few shots at your 3D targets before breakfast. Thanks - by the way hog hunting at night in Ga. IS legal. |

Great show. Sometimes the rugged folks aren't always as rugged as they seem. Here's some "rugged or not rugged" questions for you: Walking 5 miles to find and shoot a monster Sask. mulie in a blizzard: rugged. Shooting that same mulie and having your same gender hunting partner hug you: NOT RUGGED!! Trapping in minus 25 weather and reaching through the ice to pull out a stuck muskrat: RUGGED. Coming home from said trip and having your mommy make you hot coacoa: Not Rugged. HUnting elk in high winds, freezing rain, and field dressing in said conditions: rugged. Same trip but coming home at night to a triple pull out fifth wheel trailer with dishwasher and microwave: Not Rugged. Hope you can use these. |
