Methane Pocket??

[FishME]

CRAZY!!!!!

If the pigeon got sleepy or died, they knew to get out of the mine before they were overwhelmed by the fumes or accidentally ignited the pocket.

How'd they see the pigeon get sleepy or croak in the dark mines if they couldn't light their lamps?

I have a huntin' buddy that is a "methane pocket" he is not allowed in any enclosed spaces and nowhere near an open flame, as it would be just as scary an ordeal as your shanty episode was.

Glad you guys lived to tell the tale !

I think I heard this one before...
"I was out in the mountains jiggin up some food,
when up from the ground came a bubblin' crude".

I would file a claim on that icehole, turn your shanty into a refinery, and then sell the sh#$ to mideast before the Bush family hears about it and decide to invade your pond.

i wish you safe trips in your future.
