Sometimes things do go horribly wrong. The weather may be changeable, taxing what you have packed and have supplies for.

Be careful what you teach, to who,me you teach it.  Show and give definite directions with clear and understandable boundaries.   Trees in Australia may grow again.  People, and the lives that are destroyed do not.
