Near Misses from the first leg of my hike - Self-Inflicted Conflagration

From Jay:

Miles from civilization, anything can happen in this beauty!

At the end of a long and successful day of hiking, Ben sets a pot on to boil on his homemade backpacker stove. It is made from a soda pop can and burns alcohol. He decides to lie down next to the stove while he waits for the soup to head. Reaching up to shift the pot slightly, he accidentally topples it. In a split second the cylindric stove tips over, spilling ignited alcohol under his butt and catching his pants on fire. After frantically rolling and slapping at the flames, which are alarmingly close to vital areas, he succeeds in escaping doom with only second degree burns on his inner left thigh and some souvenir holes in his shorts. Ben is duly christened "Torch."
