Sort of a grumpy young Rant with a question.
The other weekend Paul Craig and I went out camping at Lenabo my local spot(10 miles being local).Now this was Paul's second itime and last time he was ok so i thought there would be no problems. We split into 2 Craig and I with our Lean To and him with his tent,Craig and I had the long log firlay keeping us warm .Paul said he wouldnt need a fire as he had his tent we tried to tell him otherwise but he knew best .
Anyway,time went on and Paul ealised we were right and constructed his version of a fire in front of his tent,disregarding advice on which sort of fire to use or how to manage it etc.
He started adding more and more after we both told him enough to building a Bon fire the flames were my height 5'9 the base of the fire was 1,5x1,5!!!!(roughly).I confiscated his wood and told him that it was to far ofcourse he just thought it was funny. Bear in mid we were surrounded by all pine some dead. So 1hr later him and craig set of and i look round to seem them construcitng there own fire a smaller one 10 meters away, i went to ask what they were doing when craig shouted in a hunourus tone "RUN"
BOOM
They had chucked a deodrant can in it. Causing a big fire ball, then when the flames went down to a small pile.
Paul ran up and kicked it scattering them everywere???!!!!!
I put out all he embers pured water on his fire and set up my own camp with my tarp 15 meters away.
They just have no bloody respect.
And paul says next time he plans to bring 6 cans and band them together and chuck it in.
I "Just " have the trust of the people who own this and the local farmers.
The main point-Do i now on go on my own?(risk being called sad etc)
Or amputate them?
Seriously advice is needed here help!
