Just because something looks easy dosent mean it is. Can't tell you how many times in my life I was doing something one way to see someone doing it another way and go " well heck that's easy !" Only to try to do it, to the level they do. Or to try and peel back some layers to understand the "why" only to be slapped with so much extra stuff I need to know that is not even funny.
It's been every thing from trapping where it starts out " o yeah all I gotta do is to catch all the coon I want is some sardine in a cage to where it's late saeson and your trying to catch more then 10 and your scratching you head like " o so Mississippi coon arnt like Iowa coon and can really give two craps about a dogproof filled will deer corn.... How am I supposed to catch them in numbers here ???"
To welding where I thought since I learned how to weld with fluxcore I could just hop on a mig since it was shielded and all that ,then I get on a mig and I'm just here like " why do my welds look like bird crap ? Wheres the penetration? What's all this black soot all over my weld ? "
Hunting hogs with night vision was supposed to be a breeze! Until I learned I knew nothing about stalking at night ,actually working the wind, scouting the terrain properly ,hog behavior. Yeah the first stupid little piglets where easy enough then I tired to bump up to pressured hogs and that was a new ball game.
Double Door Cage traps where supposed to just make critters run though ! I thought that till I made a few and put camera on them then I realized " yeaaaah mabye there alot more to this then just slapping an extra door on a cage."
And heck now it's shooting with this front rest and rear bag. Saw those guys doing this with those fancy f class rifles and I said " Heck ! That's gotta make life a dream ! I need one of them, it'll almost be cheating!" Now that I have one and a nice big power scope and all that instead of my usual bipod and sand sock I'm here like " O that's why their guns are made like that, what why they have super light triggers ! Holy crap cant really is important " Honestly over here kinda missing my bipod and sand sock lol.
But I enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill so I'm pretty happy regardless.
Moral of the story, the easy lookin way is always easy till you try and be good at it.
