Lol I'm worried that my fire alarm thing will go off if I light them. O_o Can or I should I not light them?
I don't know if your skin feeling dry after that is an emergency, but I would put lotion on it and see if that helps and if it doesn't then I would go see someone about it. I hope through out this that you have learned something. Like not playing with fire extinguishers.
Well, I completely understand how you feel. I work alone at night in the oil field at site locations sometime 20 miles from the nearest paved road. I also fish and hunt alone, sometimes at night. I don't know what part of the country you live in so it would be hard to get really specific. So, I'll share some things that helped me in the dark. It's really amazing how the dark can affect a person. I never would have thought about it until I started working in it. First I found some confidence boosters. LIght, get you a headlamp from wal-mart and keep extra batteries. Buy a good one. Also, get a big heavy mag light and extra batteries. Second, keep fire making materials with your person (matches, lighter). I keep two flares in my toolbox. Third, I don't know if you can carry a firearm where you fish. If you can, get a pistol. Hey, these are strange times we live in, plus you have to consider if wild animals could pose a threat. There are mountain lion here where I live in Texas. I can't carry a gun at my job, I have two really big sharp knives with me at all times. I also have a club I made, it's crude but it will do the job. Last, play the what if game. Ask yourself about possible scenerios that could happen in the dark. Calculate the risk and have what you need before hand. Train your mind for the dark, don't get caught untrained and at the mercy of your surroundings. You will gain confidence. And the final thing that I did that helped, I kept going into the dark. Keep going fishing at night. Don't stop. After you develop your routine you will start to feel better in the dark. And who knows, it may come in handy one day. Good luck and tight lines to you.
