A great post Judy Ann. Embarrassing ways to die for sure. The pine cone struck close to home because last year, we had to abort a trip because my brother in law tripped on a pine cone, causing him to fall and get a bad rap on the noggin. He managed this in his daughters garage while packing the car. Because the doctors were afraid of a blood clot, his son and grandson had to skip the trip to drive him back to California rather than let him fly home.
Wild animals are always a threat. I was taught from birth, to approach a fallen deer from uphill and from the rear of the animal. Watch the eyes, if they are closed or if they are open and not filmed over, shoot him again. The story is often told of the hunter who shot the big buck, then put his rifle across the horns, and climbed on the back to get his picture taken. When the buck regained consciousness and jumped up, the hunter was thrown back, and the deer and the rifle were never seen again.
Fire safety and a snow cave vent hole are basic instructions to our scouts. As for the constipation, never had the problem but basic disposal is also taught young as well as indications of other problems. The yellower the urine, the more dehydrated the person is. If the yellow goes to brown, it's evac time.
So while we all chuckle at these happenings, they really are problems that we have to be aware of. They are all real dangers.
Guns; my right to own one is what protects your right to tell me I can't.
Don't judge me because I sin differently than you |
