Many to mention..but one recent one still makes me shiver...

Two summers ago my brother and I had one of them "goat roping" adventures we'd rather forget...All because we were in a hurry to get in the hills.
First dumb thing was getting a flat tire and not blocking the other 3 wheels while changing it. Didn't notice it until a passer by stopped to help, and noticed it himself. This was WAY out of normal for me, and something I kicked myself for to this day. Thank GOD we were on level ground and the truck didn't roll on one of us.
Second dumn thing was getting to our destination and realizing we left 1/2 of our gear sitting in front of the garage, including matches, most of our food, tent, and my warm jacket. We made a makeshift shelter out of a tarp, got a fire going with an emergency magnesium fire kit I had on my keychain, and we ended up catching a couple fish to eat. Luckily we had good sleeping bags.
Third dumb thing was continuing the goat roping by letting my brother insist his truck could make it over the few remaining snow drifts to get back into the high mountain lake of our final destination. We did fine getting in (the drifts were solid from the night cold),but got stuck BAD on theway out (imagine that...the sunshine softened the drifts). Once again luck provided a very helpful couple on 4-wheelers that gave us a ride back to a phone. A couple hours later my wife showed up in the truck and took our sorry butts home.Two weeks later my brother was able to get his truck out after the snow finally subsided.

Oh, one other stupid thing....NEVER TRY TO START A BBQ WITH COLMAN CAMP FUEL SUBSTITUTING FOR LIGHTER FLUID!!!!...my arm hair has finally grown back. Fortunately I was "smart" enough to light it with and outstretched arm and a stick. WOOOSH!!!
