I haven't taken young folks canoeing in many years.  I should. 

It's the old "Put up or shut up" thing.  You see, I've bitched about why adults (like scouting and church group leaders!!) don't teach kids wilderness canoeing ethics: like being QUIET, like respecting other's solitude, like keeping a clean camp and even cleaning up the crap others leave behind. 

Well, Jimbo's story, while talking about fish, got me thinking I should look for opportunities to teach a kid or two what I was taught way back in the day.
