I had some horses at one time,,, there 78% more trouble then there worth,,, especially if they run head-long into a Grizzly bear or Pine Martin...

Todays cow-girls have less damage with ev's then the ponys...

When the last time you've heard of a cow hand getting spilled or kicked in the head by a ev... lol

I told you folks,,, stay away from ev's if you fear fast,,, and fast they are...

Like any high energy device we should respect lithium battries but not be scared of them. I moved my full jerry cans to the shed and out of the attached garage and should think about making smart decisions with batteries. If I start to add up how many lithium batteries are in my life it is concerning, if only from stacking the odds. If I have 50 of them and the chance of a fire is 1 in 100,000, I am more likely to see it by owning so many. I probably should also question where I keep them. They are in drawers, cupboards, computer case, etc, all next to very combustible items. I probably have a 20 for 2 way radios alone and keep a radio in each vehicle, backpacks, etc. Maybe a guy should keep these in some kind of fire-proof bag?? Any ideas of a fire proof bag?

A friend of mine picked up a free BBQ off FB and stores his batteries in there
