Horror stories/lessons learned

[Robert Bergeron]

t'is fall we'da killed a moose.

I drove up the Jeep with the winch up front.

Ma friend tied a knot on the rope and put the rope around the largest moose's neck. i told him check your knot friend.

No prob he says. I start tha winch. The rope is under tension, the moose moves up tha ramp.

Tha knot gives , the enda of tha rope with the brass fitting comes flying in ma direction . I hear a wizzz near my ear lobe. Tha brass fitting hits tha Jeep !

Better tha Jeep than you he say.

Tha moose meat is fine but there is a strange feeling , like a knot in my stomach ..

So, lesson learned : stay well back when winching and check your knots don't trust not someone else's .
