from the earlier thread on things to carry in the emergency pack. The stick
of dynomite could be stored along with the flashing strobe light, thermal
blanket, and tampon (for gunshot wounds). :-)) You might need to make a
notation at all times distinguishing *real* dynomite from the nutritional
supplement by that name.  Also, I saw a movie where they had to blow up a
whale  carcass that had washed up on the beach. When it went off large
chunks of whale smashed distant cars and  flaming whale blubber burned
people for hundreds of yards...something to consider if the horse was a
bit fat. Oh the things I think of when I let my imagination get carried
away. Maybe if people got a copy of this brochure in their "New Members
Packet" they'd ride more conservatively!


I believe I read an instruction of this sort many years ago in the
Backcountry Horsemen www.backcountryhorsemen.com Guide, or perhaps it is in
their code of practices.  It was presented professionally and with great
seriousness.  Despite its subdued tone I cracked up every time I read it.  I
read it over and over but I did not retain any of the actual details.
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.  If I can find the text I'll share.  No
claim is made that it will compete with Angie's intentional humor.
