Fail

[DOC-CANADA]

Hey B5, seeing how it's winter, and seeing how I got a bit of a bear phobia thing going on, anyway, probably an all-wool diaper would be a good addition out where you live.

Thanks for sharing your adventure - glad I'm not you! :thumbup:

Bushman5, that is some scary stuff right there, glad you stayed safe :thumbup:

Wow! Quite the experience Bushman5. Glad everything turned out for the best.

All the best,

Jesus, what kind of Canadians ARE you people? Wayne Gretzky is LITERALLY the most important curler since Don Cherry and Pierre Trudeau dominated the sport in the 1920s.

... until Mike Meyers came along and kicked everybody's ass.

once i actually tried to use it though, i ran into a few problems. some of these were based on the kit, some were based on this individual situation and the way i set it up.

That's great! Better to find out now than when the chips are down. I keep telling myself I'm going to do a "survival weekend" to test out my own kit, but I have not actually done it yet. Kudos to you. :thumbup:

after a while of sitting around feeding the fire on smaller sticks and things, i realized i was running very low on wood.

This little bit of information alone was probably worth the trip. Its hard to realize without trying just how much wood it takes to keep even a small fire going all night.

so i came back, a failure

Nope! You came back smarter and better prepared for the real thing!

Thanks for sharing your experience.
