Title: Re: 99 Rules for Fail-safe camping
Post by intrepid_camper on Dec 11th, 2006 at 5:01pm
Guess I didn't THINK how wide this topic could get!  Counted 62 rules so far....
63- Don't swim in the rapids...THINK about the tree snags hidden under water you could get tangled in.
64-  Don't eat wild food items unless you are sure they are safe...there are several with look-alike counterparts which are deadly.
65-  Don't pitch your tent under White Pines on hot summer days...they rain pitch droplets.
66-  Cover your firewood or put it under the canoe or tarp at night to have dry kindling in the morning.
67-  Collect some birch bark along your portages.  It is easier to find there and you always will have a dry supply.
68-  Traveling in the rain?  Put two or three 2 inch diameter beaver sticks under your packs on bottom of canoe to keep them dryer.
