sure not the roughest but some of the most memorable times..back in days of old, 4 of us sleeping in a station wagon during deer season during a week when mother nature never let up the rain..cold, put on the cold wet clothes the next morning..brrr..
another was bear hunting from the back of a pickup for 3 days..and it got so cold along with about a foot + of new snow that we couldn't even boil water for coffee etc..it would only turn to slush...and that was with a gas cooker..brrr.....
washing in cold spring water during hunt season in winter...never did thaw out...brrr...
ice fishing years ago with the wind and snow sailing hats everywhere and drilling a hole in the lake only to find they drained the water for the run off and the water was about 3' below the ice...talk about walking softly..I don't fish this big lake anymore either in winter..they even found footprints leading to a hole just this year..with no happy ending to the story..I don't fish those flood control lakes anywhere..
lots of years...lots of stories..
