Nice piece of history. But I wouldn't reccomend replicating the event.
Granted, he could have any number of plants in his pipe. But one of
the physiological affects of tobacco is shrinking the capillaries, which
might be an invite for frostbite. Don't know if the elevated heart rate
would make up for that, but I wouldn't want to try that experiment in
the body I have to live with for the rest of my days.

James,
I would agree. But there is alot of real history that is
like that. Some actual events that are recorded are: placing
lead balls in your mouth to help shoot faster, tying a ramrod
around your neck when running buffalo on horseback or just
wading in icy streams every day- so there is alot that we wouldn't
do today.
We have learned alot since then, but still do dangerous stuff.
For example: drink pop (like coke which my Dad used to unstick frozen
engine blocks with), drive in rush hour traffic, down hill skiing
(which in my state of Colorado kills a average of 13 people a year)
or not being careful with all the lead we use in camp. How many times
do you see people mix the lead melting and pouring utencils with
their cooking items?
What is considered dangerous changes with the times. Something
you wouldn't do in the fur trade is to leave a gun unloaded while
in camp (you wouldn't have you enough time to reload in some situations),
but today is the opposite.
mike.

I hear ya, Mike!
There is the possibility with the pipe incident, that there was more
bark than tobacco burnin, and that amount of fire in his 'natural made
igloo' may have provided enough heat to get him by.
Point taken though. Yep, we still do unsafe practices today. We are
informed about what's unsafe, but we still do it. Like running yellow
lights, or like the 19 year old snowboarders they are still digging out
of the avalanche in the mountains above Provo, south of where I live in
Utah. On a lesser scale it's not using eye protection while starting
fire with flint and steel (just what is that making sparks anyway?
Slivers of burning iron), hearing protection while mowing the lawn or
shooting on the range (I still don't use them for hunting), and so on.
Even so, I can't remember the last time I asked a doc for a bullet to
bite on during surgery!

smoking their pipe kept them alive during a blizzard?
The title heading read something like "Smoking pipe keeps trappers

In my camp we scratch our mark (an acorn as we are all Oakes and a little
nuts) in the top of the handle. And I have found that the bottom of the tin cup
rusts out long before the handle even starts to rust due to the scratches we
put in.

A GOOD riddle!
This is going to make you think! There are three words in the English language
that end in "gry". One is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what
the third one means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and
if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it?
_______gry?

Bead Shooter,
Where'd you come up with "tobbans" rather than "toboggans"?=20
I guess the biggest mistake I've seen us make is to come to a snow shoe =
ready to sled in our gear and find there wasn't any snow. Gear had to be =
carried on our backs instead of sliding easily on the snow. Took more =
than one trip for many to get all they had brought in to camp.=20
Smartest thing we did was on that same trip. We all seven or so of us =
threw in together on one shelter. Each took a couple long poles from the =
area and laid them into a central point (turned out to be a handy low =
lying limb on a big ponderosa Pine) and then started covering the poles =
with the pieces of canvas shelter we each carried. We ended up with one =
fairly roomy low 'teepee' shelter that even had room for a central fire. =
And all on about a foot of old pine needles.=20
The David Thompson Party is famous for doing that same sort of thing on =
the "Palouse R. Run" in the early spring. They set the same sort of low =
teepee shelter up against a giant of a boulder, have their fire against =
the basalt boulder and their camp with it's back to the wind.

Larry
Do a Google search for "words that end in gry" and you will see that no
other COMMON English words end in gry but that there are several obscure
words, not just one, that end in gry. There is supposedly a little word
that is spelled "gry" but pretty much nobody ever heard of it. This is a
reoccurring riddle that pops up from time to time. Scrabble whizzes
probably love it.
