Contrex lives in France. He's french for all intensive purposes.

That's a phantastic logic - so the about 50 US-citizens in our town are actually Germans?

A lot of people, including me, carry a guy when they go fishing.
You never know who (or what) you are going to meet on the water and
you are typically far away from any help. Seems very prudent to me.

In fact last summer my son and I were fishing a small trout stream when
something on the far side made a hell of a racket in the brush.
We never saw it, but it was big and sure didn't sound like a deer.
Probably a wild boar, a coyote, or a small bear.

It scared us both and I wasn't carrying. Felt pretty vulnerable.

Hopefully, your son was sufficiently well armed
to keep the family intact.
