Good one Joe about the "extra protein"  ........ >>Which reminds me of hiking in Glacier National Park, I was alongside Elizabeth lake and a party of 3 were hiking on the other side early in the morning when all of a sudden one of their members started coughing and gagging like he was about to die....It went on for a few minutes...I still remember being very concerned. When we met up I asked if he was OK and all that had happened was that he had gotten a bug caught in his throat!

Isle Royale backpack trip. Last uphill before descending to lakeside campsite. I was out of water and swallowed a bug of some sort and was gagging/choking.
One of the guys handed me his canteen and I took a big gulp. Should of known ;D
It wasn't water, it was Jack Daniels :o
I'm not a booze drinker, especially straight.
I don't know which one was worse, but the guys said that the bug suffered no pain and died happy ;D
