Lessons from Camping

So, I went camping with some friends this past weekend. It was a good time. Great weather, great people, and beautiful scenery. And what's more, we all learned some very important life lessons during our time together. I'd like to take a moment to impart some of that valuable knowledge.

- Beware the ricochet when using a hatchet (Please ask Mr. Cole if you want details).

- Always carry an Army-issue tourniquet (this lesson comes in handy if you neglect to follow lesson # 1).

- Water- resistant is no match for water-proof (especially true of tents and sleeping bags).

- Rocks are not good bedfellows.

- Don't make fun of the over-prepared camper (he's probably the one who has the tourniquet when you need it most).

- Last but not least:
Rule #1: Never talk about Mickey bombs.
