I'm afraid of the loss of control i.e. if you're underground, in a tight space and you get stuck - there's nothing you can do about it. Or if you get stuck under the ice in a lake.

No money at the end of the week, panic sets in regarding bills, food on the table etc..... Self employment is crap at times.

If it's any consolation it'll only be one or the other and not both.

The idea of crawling through a small tunnel makes me lose my breath.

And being eaten by a lion or bear, wouldnt fancy that either.

Misleading title is misleading.

Almost had me telling the story about the gorilla trying to break down the door one night.

Just say no kids.
