QUESTION: I've been told there's a fair amount of swearing that occurs in camp.  Is this true?

QUESTION: I'm sort of squeamish about putting a leech on a hook.  Will someone assist me?

QUESTION: I hear some guys snore in camp real loud.  I'm worried I might not get enough sleep during my stay.
ANSWER: This is a common concern.  Yes, some guys snore...some guys fart...some guys even fart when they snore.  Let's just say when you go back home to your wife or girl friend you'll have a whole NEW appreciation for that everyday experience.

QUESTION: I'm deathly afraid of bears...is this fishing experience in bear country?
