-Boss is standing a foot from your face and his breath could gag a maggot. Strategy: Smile and nod to a friendly close by, when they come over, tell boss that so and so is coming to talk to him. Get out.

-Wife ate a meal heavy with garlic and her midnight farts will peel paint tonight. Strategy: Sleep in spare bedroom, or move to far side of bed and hold blanket to nose when you hear the trumpet blast.

I drove night shift taxi to get through University and I carried a two foot chunk of Oak doweling beside my seat. I had to pull it out more than once.

I am presently on an isolated, fly in, Aboriginal reserve in the far north. I have plenty of strategies up here, believe me.:eek:

Sounds like an excellent opportunity to learn Aboriginal survival skills. One of my customers was an RCMP officer that was stationed up north and he had a blast. He said, however, that some of the Mounties that go up there, go with a bit of a racist attitude, and therefore never really get to know the people and their culture. What a waste. He, on the other hand enjoyed hunting and fishing and every other pursuit with the Native people. I'm sure you'll have an excellent experience and keep us posted with what you learn.

Upnorth, I'm kind of curious about what you see the problem as? And what do you see the problem with Aboriginals as? Disregarding that term of "Aboriginal", which particular tribe are you speaking about?

It sounds to me, friend, like some of the people you deal with are letting you down.
 
You can kill grouse and ptarmagin with a wimpy single pump .177 pellet gun. Just do head/neck shots. I have also seen kids knock the hell out of the local grouse with sling shots. When the Grouse or Ptarmagin start to cluck, stop and shoot, they are about to fly off. If you move in slowly, you can get amazingly close to these birds. The pointed lead hunting pellets are a much better killer than BB's.
