Title: Re: Are you a selfish adventurer?

Oh, if everything always goes according to plan. A neighbor related the story of being flown it to a remote fishing cabin. One of his buddies was having trouble getting the wood stove in the cabin going and put in a little gas. The explosion and fire burned him very badly. This was before sat phones and spots were even thought of. For days they kept someone outside to signal if a plane came by. The burned man screamed in pain all this time. Eventually a plane came by and delivered the burn victim to a hospital just in time to save his life. I am in favor of taking the devices because, IT IS NOT ABOUT ME!!
