Light hearted here. May have previously had a thread like this before. Not looking for PC comments. Just reality.

1. I confess to having peed in the woods less than 150 feet from a lake.
2. I also confess to having burned a cellophane cigar wrapper in a fire grate.
3. I confess to having done a header into a tree one night after dark after too much brandy. The tree bark, and my forehead suffered a minor "ding". I apologized to the tree the next morning, and taped up the missing piece of bark with duct tape to make things right.

That is hardly sinning. Some idiots left 4 tarps, 3 rod holders and a Coleman twin size air bed on Boot Lake, plus assorted garbage.

1. I used a barbed hook in Quetico.
2. Since lead may be banned, I have experimented using worn out AA batteries from my locator as trolling sinkers.
3. To protect Canada's beloved smallmouth bass, I have targeted summertime, deep-water lake trout with great success.
4. I washed my whiskey cup in the lake.

Our trip motto... "If it's fun, it's probably illegal"

#4 would probably be OK as long it is "Canadian Club"

Hmmm,
After reading the title of the post, I thought this was someone admitting to being a Packer fan!! :)

Unfortunately, I am a Chicago Bears fan, so add that to the list . . .

I foolishly took some chicken in for the first night in it's original grocery store packaging and put the blood soaked foam thing in my garbage (which is mostly plastic bags). By about day 5 the entire garbage was so stinky that I built a big fire and burned the whole works.

When camped with a BWCA permit on an island near the Canadian border, we gathered firewood from the Canadian shore of Knife.

Canadian wood--isn't it good!

Wow! The only thing I think could have smelled worse would be trying to pack out fish guts!


May God grant you pardon and peace.

For your penance, say one Hail Mary and stuff sixteen pine scented air fresheners in your pack.

I have pooped in the woods, not in the smelly or too gross latrines on occasion.

My husband actually made a list this year of infractions I committed while out. I'm glad to see I'm not the only offender on here. I stand accused of the following:
- Left a trace (made an opening under an exposed tree root to drain water from tent pad).
- Practiced "catch and eat" rather than "catch and release" x1 (with legal fish though of course).
- Chastised a toad, and mocked a group of mergansers by calling them "pig ducks".
- Endangered group safety by declining to put toothpaste in the bear bag (twice).
-Burned 2 used tea bags.
- Attempted to hasten geological change by throwing five pebbles into the lake.
I plead guilty as charged.

1bogfrog chastising a toad. now, that's a sin.

Sexual congress on a rock on Seagull... Never heard of that. The congress part anyway. Is that a group thing? Going to need more info to determine if you truly have sinned. Please elaborate.
 
09/27/2016 08:10AM  
Yeah, we need pictures of that sexual congress thing, you know to vote on whether it qualifies as a sin.

I too have peed within the 150 foot limit of the shoreline. I was well hydrated, so the impact would have been minimal.

I slapped perfectly innocent mosquitoes who were simply trying to exercise their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness even as I was.

rt - I blessed two slices of white bread, anointed them with Jim Beam bourbon and ironed my vestments, knelt down and prayed for a long time to come up with the proper penance for your sins. You must have some pull with the big man, because I have been instructed to pardon you for your act was deemed worthy if not downright courageous by my angel advisors. And they wouldn't give me any details either... Alas, life just ain't fair. All I got was soggy bread and a strange, unexplainable urge to scratch my butt with a rock.
But, thanks for the laughs!

My son was actually on a canoe trip where they were told in all seriousness by the group leader not to slap mosquitos for the same reasons that you (I assume sarcastically) are stating. If they did not want the mosquito to bite them they were to blow the critter away with a gentle breath so as to give it a chance at continued life!

Her red swimsuit from that poster is now on display at The Smithsonian in DC. My kids just could not understand what the big deal was and why I just had to go see it when we were there!

Sometimes feels like it doesn't it. Man I wish Noah had slapped those 2 mosquitoes.

Well, I "Sinned" when I blurted out "You're sh!++ing me" when I thought of someone telling me to "Gently blow a mosquito" (LOL)!

And someone called mergansers "Pig ducks?" I've "Sinned" and called them a lot worse, but usually just call them "Fish ducks."

Some sort of pro-life Christian cult?
