Great Idea at the Time
at some time everyone has a great idea but a bit further down the track the brilliant idea wasn't so smart and backfires.
A mate and I heard of a spot down south and got hold of a mud map on how to get in to Fish Creek east of Windy Harbour. The bloke who told us said the track in off the road was pretty rough so make sure everything was tied down. Got all the gear and tucker ready for a 3 day trip and with the rough track in mind decided to stick the eggs in a plastic container and poured the sugar over them surmising that being supported all round they would be safe--------bad idea!!!!
Have you ever drank a cup of black tea or coffee with bits of now poached egg floating around in it.
Another on the spot idea on same trip was to turn the trailer over and sleep under it when it started to piss down, ok for a while until a river decided to run through soaking everything, trying to sleep sitting up in an early model Landrover ute is not a comfortable event.
Not a lot of fish caught but some top moments, like the mate copping a wave and filling his waders up and nearly getting washed in.

Yep. Doing a Steep Point trip
Yep. Doing a Steep Point trip out of Denham. We saw that a front was coming in so one boat crew decided to sprint across and set up camp before the front arrived. That way they could get in some early fishing ! When the front rolled in, it blew the tent literally to pieces and they spent the next two and a half days sitting amongst the remains a shredded tent, without hot food, surrounded by their few remaining possessions trying to stay dry whilst the weather howled around them. When the rest of the crew arrived after the weather had calmed we just about fell out of the boat laughing when we were greeted by a starving, cold and wet boat crew. Good plan, bad outcome !

Yes - support the Mujahideen
Yes - support the Mujahideen in the Soviet-Afgan war turns into Taliban, support the rebels in Syria against the Government turns into ISIS.
Good idea at the time - bad outcome.

Putting dry ice in the esky
Putting dry ice in the esky when young to keep everything cold.
went to get tea that night and everything including the eggs were rock solid.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
