I didn't, once, in NM, up in the mountains at about 7000 ft. It was dark, and cold, and snow was softly falling. I did have to pee something harsh.

I did have a 1911 in my off hand, nekkid as a jaybird.

Next thing I know, the dogs rush a mountain lion that had been watching.

Scared me inside. I peed in an empty coffee can for the rest of the night and poured it outside in the morning.

There is stuff out there in the woods that is dangerous.

Best to have dogs and guns. Pants help.

I had a rather rude acquaintance with the fact that I was not necessarily at the top of the food chain in the Gila Wilderness of NM in the late '80's - early '90's.

There are bear, cougars and wolves out there.

Learned my lesson.

If it was cold, why were you nekkid?

Glad you survived that mountain lion.

“Best to have dogs and guns. Pants help.”

Words to live by.

And one of my favorites “Life is tough, it’s harder if you’re stupid.”
