Scott I am a little worried about you.....     Great story Scott!! I enjoyed it you had me clued to the puter   

that is a great article.  sorry you had to go through all that pain, etc.  Years ago, I read an article about preparing for outdoor emergencies, and they advocated carrying a whistle like the one refs use, among other things.  The writer's explanation was that you can whistle louder and a lot longer than you could shout, plus a whistle was a relatively inexpensive addition to your survival kit.  I was a crewchief on a Huey at that time, and I thought it was a great idea, so I bought a whistle.  I'm no longer in the military, but I still carry my whistle in my possibles bag (However, I only carry the possibles bag when I'm deer hunting, not turkey or goose hunting.  Maybe I better rethink my strategy)

I think the member articles is a great idea and part of the monthly magazine...I submitted a story for the July issue, we'll see if it makes the cut.
