For whatever reason, this made me think of another Amazon inspired purchase my buddy made, which was designed to catch fire, but also difficult to extinguish.

We were making a trek into the White Mountains (New Hampshire) with about 6 other people, and Tim, who is an avid researcher, picked up a camping stove designed to work in even the most adverse of conditions. It requires priming using some kind of alcohol, and will burn even at very high altitudes.

Unfortunately, during the priming, Tim ended up dousing the entire stove, and when it caught fire the whole external casing went with it. Realizing he'd now immolated a pressurized fuel-filled cylinder (read: small grenade) he panicked, and started trying to extinguish it. The description from Amazon was accurate - once burning, that tiny inferno raged without ceasing. He even buried it, and it set the pine needles in the dirt on fire.

On the plus side it didn't explode.
4.5 Stars!

It was a hell of a trip. End of May on the Madison Gulf Trail, we were still finding areas with snow deep enough to cover the tops of my boots. First night, (a little ways below the headwall if you're familiar with that trail) the temperature dropped to about 17°, with heavy wind. One of our group had done absolutely no research and only packed a hammock. He later said he seriously wondered if he would ever see his children again.

The wind had enough force that when we continued the next day, we met another group coming down because it snapped their tent poles.

I've been using battery tricklers for a long time with the motorcycles. Hook them up in the fall and disconnect in the spring. Bought my first one in the 80's.

Afternoon guys. Getting On the forum is way tougher currently due to the hr and a half drive followed by full days of shadowing for the new job. Hopefully things will eventually calm down.

3:30 in the morning for me and Im wide awake. Was woken up at 2 to a big crash and then silence. Got up and I hear the dog play barking and running in the kitchen. Dad took a tumble and the dog thought he was playing. Dogs licking his face while jumping on him. Dad is swearing up a storm trying to get up but cant. EMS had to show up and pick him up off the floor as he has fractures in his back.

Welcome to 5 minutes of a typical day for me.

JLarson

Sorry to hear, how is your dad feeling?

He is doing OK. Myself and the paramedics tried to get him to go get checked out but he refused. I'm keeping an eye on him just to be safe.

Boss wasnt happy that I am working from home again today. I sent a pic of dad laying on the floor to prove I wasnt making this **** up.

Spoiler

All these Camping and Boy Scout stories... I have a bunch of them as well... and I actually still have my Boy Scout shirt and all that stuff.

The cool part is that I even can fit into the shirt still... well sort of... I mean, I can still kinda wear it as a cape, it sorta goes.. well over part of me...
