Yeah, campfires in cold weather
Posted by: Glenn_MacGrady on Oct-25-12 11:40 PM (EST)

My very first bowman in 1980, when I lived in northern California and had just bought my MR Royalex Explorer, used to tell me how he and his high school buds in Minnesota would go out in their aluminum canoes in cold weather and build a fire right in the canoe. Then they imbibed a lot of antifreeze.
