Sometimes stuff that'd be really dangerous in populated areas becomes mostly harmless if you're out in the boonies.alvins wrote:what i dont get is why anyone thinks alcohol,guns,driving go together period.
So, maybe you're out there, relaxing and drinking a bit after a long day of doing, um, boony stuff, and you see something that needs to be shot RIGHT NOW!!! and it's too far away to walk? Or maybe you're trying to be the first person to drive to the north pole, and halfway through you realize that you're not actually in any country, and since there aren't any "drink driving" laws, your passenger makes you a gin & tonic, then a polar bear attacks you while you've stopped to wee.
Personally, though, I don't have to worry about either of those situations. I avoid the non-frozen boonies because they have too many insects and not enough AC, and if I'm ever in the frozen boonies, my short-term desire to get toasty would be overridden by my long-term desire to not get killed to death (plus, I don't like gin & tonic).
