I went to college with an Eagle Scout and he was always talking up his survival abilities. Well, during one break I agreed to go to his hometown where he was going to take me snowmobiling into "the sticks" which I had never done. We got miles into the woods when he announced that he could build a bonfire in deep snow and then we were going to roast some weenies for lunch. He started the fire and then went into the woods to get some roasting sticks; at this point I was pretty impressed with his navigation and survival abilities. To get the roasting sticks he had a Swiss Army knife in his left hand and was pulling off a branch with his right when it suddenly gave way plunging his hand down onto the knife. When he came walking back with a trail of bright red blood in the snow behind him, I knew something was wrong. Long story short, by the time we got him back and then began driving to the hospital which was 40 minutes away, he was freaking out and hallucinating that there were bugs in his wound. It took him a few months to recover. So that's my Eagle Scout experience :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:150887 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
