We were out hunting Elk again. We were in an area that’s beautiful but not really good for Elk. I went with the same two guys. We had set up camp and were in a travel trailer that we had hauled up with us.
Tweedle dee and dweedle dum were setting up a fire on sandy area and were having a hard time keeping it going.
I had gone into the trailer to grab a hatchet to cut up some kindling to get the fire going. Tweedle dee and tweedle dum decide that I'm taking to long and Coleman fuel is just the ticket to throw on the coals and spark that fire right up.
Well it just puts it out and then they decide to throw on some more and get a good spark. I was still in the trailer when I hear a solid Whooomp sound and Dweedle dee saying. "Oh that can't be good" I stick my head out of the trailer in time to see the coleman fuel can flying through the air on fire. It made pretty nice arc of flame as it flew through the air.
Tweedle dums right foot pant leg and right arm are on fire from where he threw the flaming can. He even has a nice little flame on the button of his ball cap making him look a little like a large candle.
We Tweedle dee starts scooping up sand and throwing it on tweedle dum. I grab a shovel and start putting the fire out before the forest on fire. Tweedle dum is running around tap dancing because his boot is still on fire and it’s starting to get hot. Fortunately the rest of his has been extinguished.
Tweedle dum sees me coming with the shovel and is afraid I am going to use it on him to stomp out the fire and starts running.
I was laughing so hard while I was putting out the fire that I'm surprised I got it done by myself.
Fortunately no one was hurt but he ruined his shirt and his pants. His face was sooted up enough to make it really funny.
