So, this is survival training!? Rivera portrays this scene as Amateur Hour with a hint of panic. Is she deliberately trying to make Mark look incompetent and unprepared? Mark and Cliff better lawyer-up and prepare for a civil lawsuit. Connor doesn’t seem like the forgive-and-forget type.

In reality, people who go fishing sooner or later experience this painful accident and learn how to deal with it. Getting impaled by a fishing hook is painful, but not usually fatal. You’d think even Ranger Shaw would know that.

There is naturally a possibility of infection or even tetanus. But if you were in the wilderness, you’d have to make do until you got to a doctor or hospital. Sorry Mark, you and Cliff blew an important teaching opportunity and forgot the underlying reason for your retreat.
