Drinking water straight from the lake? Not properly tethering your gillnet? Not securing your smoker from other predators? Leaving fish overnight in an open reservoir?
Maybe that's not fair considering the hunger and exhaustion they face, but these are seemingly avoidable mistakes.

I chalk it up to fatigue and starvation, but you're right. The guy who might have giardia or whatever who was drinking water from the lake and eating fish that was a few days old is just mind boggling. Like it's such an obviously dumb thing to do...but it happens every season. I can sort of see the guy who lost fish to the Marten, but only sort of. The guy who left the fish in the water and thought "I'll do it in the morning" is just hilarious.
But, I also wonder about these people who spend their entire day building a shelter and starving to death in the meantime. I just don't know what the plan is here, when you've taken 3 weeks to build a place and haven't really eaten.
