Off a 4 foot creek bank to the rocks under 2 inches of water. Stuck the landing with my elbow! Barked the elbow and side of my knee.
I was showing my nephew how to make some beaver sets in his rocky creek running through his woods. It is lined with beaver cong punji sticks and other man traps. But I took myself out!

My nephew didn't see me stick the landing but heard the splash and saw me on my back in the water. It was cold and filled up my hip boots. I tried to jump up when I remembered my phone was in my back pocket.

I am already getting very sore. Sucks getting old, I told him he is going to carry out the beaver.

Ouch.

You were showing him what NOT to do when beaver trapping. Also important information.

Dang !

Be careful man

I feel like I need to wear my dirt bike armor 24/7. My wife said as soon as you heal up, you get hurt again.

When trapping with a younger person always take a sled. Makes it easier for them to get you back out.

Least it wasn't a front side dbl klutz
off the hash pipe.
But there's always tomorrow lol.

Last one for me landed head n shoulders.
At'll slow ya down.

I don't even know what a lutz is but that
tv flick made me chuckle.

That falling is not as bad as landing. Glad you only got scuffed a bit. Getting old is not for sissies. Let that young guy do the stunt work.

Mac

With a name like Flipper I would have expected nothing less.
Hope you get over your soreness quickly.

Tell me more about the hash pipe..

Another example of "Everything in the beaver swamp is trying to kill us."
Shuffle your feat, and always bring you a walking stick as long as you are tall and it must be beaver cut on both ends. It must be of a diameter to fit comfortably in your particular hand.
Never loan it to anyone for even one second. Best not to let anyone touch it, lest they rub the luck offen it.
Bide by these few rules and beaver trapping will just fall right into place. Ignore them and you will perish or worse.

Hey Old Man....thank God you survived that crash.

Hopefully all the traps were set before you took a Dixie.

Walking stick...hockey shin guards ...and a helmet next time brother.

I bet that water was a bit chilly....

How old is the nephew ?

Take some Tylenol or Advil

He is 46 and 6'2" or taller. He was laughing and said he wish he had it on video. It was before I set any at all.

My nephew that hangs with me ....fishing ...ice fishing...shooting at the range..beaver hauler..is 23.

My wife's youngest sisters kid.

He keeps me young. 6 feet 235...strong as bull

Ok, what we need to know is on a scale of 1 to 10, and 10 being the highest score when you scream and flap your arms on the way down.

Did the same off a roadside into a dry rocky gully hidden by vegetation in the quest of cutting willow for hoops last summer. Put me out of the game for 6 weeks. Fortunately nothing broken. Didn't help the arthritis much.

Nice job Muskrat....ouch !!

Well Flippah

How's it going this morning..???

OUCH!
Hope you heal up quickly. We don't bounce like we used to!
