Re: Explosion at Deer Camp!

Yep, when I was a kid we used to burn our trash in a barrel as there was no trash pickup. One of my chores was to take out and burn the trash.

I had consolidated all of the trash into one larger can and emptied it into the barrel and lit it on fire. Little did I know my sister had out a empty hair-spray can in the trash. I went back make sure the fire was burring properly and when i looked over the side of the barrel, the can exploded. It came flying out of the barrel and knocked me backward. I remember seeing a mushroom cloud of ash over the barrel. Still have a scar above my right eye as a reminder to NOT throw aerosol cans in fires! :banghead:
