Look at the difference between the normal sportsman and hunt/fish. I think it's overly complicated on purpose. Drive people to buy the more expensive license just to "be safe" and get more opportunities for citation money from someone who might happen to catch the wrong fish.

@Grand Torino and @aknifemaker do excellent work. @willis68 can put a truly ridiculous edge on a knife. There's plenty of people trying to pass off cheap Chinese junk as "hand made", so you have to beware of that. Some guys make knives via stock removal and some forge them. The more work goes in, the more they cost. Good quality will last a lifetime. @MacGyver is spot on. More consistent details is a good place to start. Any good knife will go "tinggg" when tapped on a hard surface. If it goes "tink" or "clank" it's either cracked or has poorly attached scales.

We haven't gotten our feeders out yet.... need to so that. My parents in Chattanooga have seen several.

I know a guy who did almost exactly this. He camped in his van. Got a cheap window unit and got camp sites with power. Bug free, leak free, air conditioned camping.

I don't know how people ride in anything but a full face helmet. Debris in your eyes is definitely an issue, particularly since I wear contacts. Shoei and Arai are top shelf and priced that way. I have an HJC that does the job and is comfortable. Best option is to find a bike shop or cycle gear and try on a bunch to see what fits best. Every brand is a little different. And do your future self a favor and wear ear plugs.

If there's no oil under it, there's no oil in it.
