Title: Re: Worst participant ever

I was the group leader on a trip in 92 I think it was.  Anyway we were on Day two out of PP heading up the Man Chain.  On the portage from This Man to Other Man one of the hot shot guys got in my face and screamed at me.  I'm not going any farther.  He was pissed that we just didn't stick to Carp Lake for the week fishing.  Hated the portaging, but knew the trip as was planned several months in advance as a loop. 
So I said lets set up camp on Other Man and take a vote on it as to where, what we are going to do.
In camp that night the vote was 3 to 1 to continue as planned, Man Chain, Falls Chain, Kawnipi, Agnes back to PP in 8 days.  The Irate guy was pissed again upon loosing the vote.  After about 20 min of arguing, I stood up and wadded all the maps, then tossed them into the campfire and said.  I'm leaving at 6am in the morning and I know exactly where I'm going.  I suggest if you wish to tag along be up and ready.  Off to bed I went.  The next morning I had all 3 guys ready and willing to move on.
My father in-law on the rest of the trip kept asking if I had a back up map.  I lied and said nope, just keep on paddling. The Irate guy was his brother In-law.  I suspected a mutiny if they were given the chance.
