    Seriously, about canoes, when you're in one make sure you're aware of what's packed where in the canoe. I know a lady who almost drowned when the canoe she was in flipped because she got her legs tangled in the shoulder strap of a pack and the pack got lodged in the cross bar of the canoe.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    I always lock my shoulder straps to the crossbar. If the canoe flips I don't want my pack at the bottom of the creek. At least this way, I can recover it.

    On the six drown story....why on earth would you allow your kids in the water alone if they don't know how to swim. And as a parent, whether you know how to swim or not, wouldn't you at least try to save your kid? That was one messed up article.

    Like Crash said, don't go near the water until you learn how to swim. Don't ask how to learn without water. That was a needless, stupid I can't even say accident because the adults are responsible.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.
