I almost when to that program, I think it was call "REITERATING THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS" if I'm not mistaken.LOL
Here are some real bright quotes from the article:
""Never take any of your clothes off, if it's cold weather, because you don't want to lose any of your clothes".
(unless she's willing. Then you can put them back on again)
"Never take water from a lake, because it might have a deep drop-off of 20 to 30 feet right at the edge, and if a child or adult falls in, they could drown,..."take water from a small stream, a puddle or dew off leaves."
(right. I'm thirsty and standing next to a lake licking dew off leaves cause I'm afraid the big drop-off will get me).
"Never eat anything in the woods"
(If I find a hunter left his hoagie behind, I'm eating it. LOL)
"All wildlife is looking for is a free meal"
(at least until payday, then they hit town for a steak and french fries)
"People misconstrue us with the guy who's Yogi Bear"
(I don't think so. I can tell the difference between Ranger Rick and a cartoon bear)
"If you know you're going into the woods or going hiking, it's good to prepare yourselves. (Children) need to make sure they have a whistle or flashlight," he said. An adult could take matches and a small pocket knife in addition to a flashlight and a whistle."
(but if we catch you with the knife, we bust you. Its a game we play)

That is so funny Bob, that cracks me up. Interesting to learn that these lakes have a 20 to 30 foot drop right at the bank. I guess that make me about, hmmm, 24' to 34' tall. I guess he is implying that humans sink like stones when they fall in the water, 30 feet, boom, just like that you're at the bottom.

Looks like this is the same article Guy posted awhile ago here: http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/showthread.php?t=1920
Ranger or reporter?
Is the tone of this article because the ranger is giving advice that thuds or because the reporter is, so to speak, over her head and not listening properly? How many rangers have you heard who told folks to drink out of a mud puddle?
Just thinking out loud.
Are they really giving people a hard time for having a knife? Yikes.

A very pleasant mistake, if I'd say so myself.

I very much doubt that this Ranger Sanford feller is so uninformed as to believe that any lakes in South Jersey are 20-30 feet deep, let alone at its banks. The author was probably just inattentive.
Ranger is such a funny job title, I have the pleasure to have that title, but I am not a Law Enforcement officer. The distinction comes from differences in state and government titles. Working for the National Park Service many of us carry that title without actually carrying sidearms or having the power of arrest. I for instance work in cultural resource managment, while still holding that title. On the state level, those with that title are always L.E. with the powers of a police officers.
