Actually neither.Was just trying to think of the best actions to survive.

Good just trapped a few muskrats

No cell service at all there where I was

I was stuck in the mud this year while running my rat traps, twice. The first time I stepped into some mud that was unbelievable.

It stopped my forward motion, lower body, while my upper which was carrying a pack basket kept going. Basically face planted but managed to roll to the side on my way down.

Cold, soaked, left wader came off in the mud and I had to pull that out. A filthy mess of course and I have arthritis in my spine and pelvis so when the shivers set in walking sucked.

I leave Goggle Earth Pro open on my PC at the house with a stickpin that shows where to find the truck. What mayhem I've gotten myself into will be an adventure unto itself for any "rescue" folks.

The wife is used to me keeping strange hours so I can see her not calling immediately when I'm late. I don't have life insurance, I'm pretty sure she doesn't hate me (too much anyway) so there's no issues there.

Glad you survived! I definitely think about what I'm doing more and more as time goes on. For me a core shiver from the cold makes walking pretty interesting.

I've told them all if you can't see the fire from space I'm probably already dead.

I have to pay attention to my own limits and physical limitations. Be careful out there brothers and sisters!

Wear neoprene waders! Warm and buoyant!!

Wow, you are lucky, glad you are here to tell the story.

Been There
Did That

Yep no fun.I don't want to do again
