Title: Re: 99 Rules for Fail-safe camping

A few items I might not follow but are good for the list nonetheless.  But I do have some suggested revisions:

#14:  Change to "14- Always bring a set of maps and compass for each canoe.   (Do not rely on a GPS as your only source or type of navigation tool."  Then eliminate the comment at the end.

#24:  "If you bring a saw, make sure it is sharp.  If you bring an axe/hatchet, make sure it is dull."

#36: Eliminate "Don't forget the coffee".  (This is a great list and a grocery list does not belong. The items on jugs and weed are OK because they only state what how to handle them if you bring them, they do not say you should bring them.)

#62: "Wear some kind of footwear when swimming".  (This item should be as assertive as the others.)

#76: I would eliminate this one.  IMHO, the risks of an accident post a greater danger than the benefit.
