"Ed G - Waaaaayyyyy not funny. How would you feel if the person asking the question was one of your family members?"

Well, IF the person asking the question was one of my family members, my first thought would be:

What the hell is a Lawyer who has never been camping doing out in the woods?... and then I would tell them don't come visit me at work and if you smell martinis, your off the trail.

I do a lot of my hiking and bushwacking at night.

Keep in mind I live in the South where the good 'ole Georgia and Florida boys do some strange things to make a living. Several times I have come across trip wires (thank god they stand out when illuminted with a blue LED headlamp).

If you frequently travel far off the beaten trail, it is something you should watch out for, but not necessarily let it keep you out of the woods.
