Things happen. More things happen when people don’t think. And we have all seen the unwelcome.
Scene One: While on our group’s canoe portage to fish on Siskewet Lake on Lake Superior’s Isle Royale, one of the dads threw his depth finder battery into his daughter’s backpack. Then while carrying the canoe and following behind her, he saw her backpack smoke. The Dad hollered to whip off the backpack which she quickly did. There was a metal fish stringer in the backpack that had shorted out the battery which in turn caused the fire in the backpack. A careless decision turned a simple walk in the woods to a near disaster.
