There are some things that can happen even with out the mason jar advantage....lol. Last year, I made a trade with Pappy for a beautiful osage snake skinned bow he had made and this was my first ever classic. Now to most that would just be a typical deal, but not for me. This was my first ever snake skinned bow, so I took it and placed it along the edge of my ten on the floor across from my cot so I could admire it at a glance.
Well the first morning after getting the bow, I woke up after sun up and just happen to glance over and seen it all pretty just resting there. What a beautiful sight. The next morning was a totally different story.
When I got up the second morning, it was dark, and I mean dark. No problem. Just get your flash light Charlie and get dressed and move one. Well that was to be a huge mistake. As I sat up after getting my flash light and getting myself out of my sleeping bag and sitting up on the edge of the cot, my flash light went the full length of a huge snake that had crawled into my tent some how, and I come totally unglued. I pulled my feet up over the top of my head, and fell backwards off of the cot, on to the floor that a snake was on, and I was beating every thing in that tent up with a vengeance to stay alive. It was not a pretty sight or feeling I am telling you. But is a memory that will last a life time.
