Episode Details

This episode digs into how Open Water Industries started, what an ice eater actually does, and why moving water can be a difference maker for late-season duck and goose hunting. Kyle and Travis talk with guest Collin Merryman, a mechanical engineer who turned a do-it-yourself solution into a growing product line for waterfowlers and pond owners.

Collin explains the design choices behind the unit, the real-world tradeoffs between generators and batteries, and why small changes like cord length, angle adjustment, and anti-rust coating matter more than most people think.
