    Fire in the hole!!!!

    So I get home from the lease and throw my backpack on the dinning room table. One of those green military packs. Of course my wife gripes, but I tell her I'm going to unload it in a little bit and will move it before dinner.

    Fast forward about an hour later, we are all watching TV in the living room. All the sudden we here a loud pop from the dinning room. My wife was like "was that a gun?" I said na, but got up to go check. I walk around the corner and there in the middle of the dinning room table is my backpack engulfed in flames. I grab it and throw it on the floor, hardwood, and start stomping out the fire. All the while thinking there are more bullets in there.

    The key to this story is I had taken a six volt battery to the lease, in case I needed it. Turned out I didn't. Somewhere along the way I threw a couple 7 MM Mag bullets into the same pocket. One of the bullets rolled against the batter and touched the positive and negative. Heated up and went boom. lol

    Total damage, a burnt spot on the dinning room table and on the hardwood floor. Also the table has a indention that perfectly matches the primer end of a 7MM Mag bullet. The bullet itself made it to the kitchen, no damage.

    Needless to say my wife is rethinking this whole hunting situation.

    Wow. That is crazy as heck. Glad nobody got hurt. I threw a 12v battery into a compartment of my camper one time at the lease and a was getting ready to leave. A buddy saw smoke coming out of the compartment. You guessed it....almost burned down the camper.

            Glad no one was hurt. That was the perfect storm I mean are the odds of that happening.

              Wow, glad you didn't throw it in the hunting closet and go to bed only to wake up to the house on fire!

                That's crazy. A buddy of mine had a 12 volt feeder battery in the back seat of his truck. His Yeti cup rolled up against the terminals and welded a couple holes in it and caught the seat on fire. Got to be careful with them batteries.

                    Given you history with campers.....you might want to look into a different type of housing.

                      I don't even want to think about what would happen if I threw my backpack on my wife's precious dining room table. Food itself rarely gets put on ours, much less a dirty old deer lease backpack. I guess my hiney would be on fire.

                          Pocket change and a AA battery ain't a good mix in your blue jean pocket either, unless you're looking for a quick way to heat your leg up.
