Camping Disasters

“They Said ‘Bear-Proof,’ Not ‘Barbecue-Proof'”

Mike and Lorna Henders rented a cabin to rekindle romance with s’mores and nature. Instead, they mistook a steel bear-proof food locker for a wood-fired smoker and spent four hours slow-roasting chicken inside what’s essentially a wilderness bank vault.

“I thought it was just rustic,” Mike insisted as rescue teams used the jaws of life to extract a single lukewarm thigh.

Rangers say this happens more often than you’d think. “People just see a box and start grilling,” one explained. “Humans are the real wildlife.”

The couple is now separated–Lorna took the marshmallows and the propane.

Auf Wiedersehen, amigos.

By Katie Rich

Katie Rich was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where irony drips as thick as the humidity and every parade doubles as political commentary. She later made her way north to Northwestern University, earning a degree in Theater while moonlighting as a stand-up comic in bars where the gumbo was spicier than the hecklers. Rich built her reputation as a fearless comedy writer, contributing to television’s sharpest satire before landing her byline at Bohiney.com. As both a satirical journalist and stand-up performer, she skewers politics, pop culture, and the strange rituals of everyday life with equal precision, often turning the chaos of Louisiana’s colorful traditions into comedy gold. Known for her blend of absurdity, empathy, and sharp timing, she delivers journalism that feels like an exposé disguised as a punchline. With bayou grit and academic polish, Katie Rich’s EEAT bio proves she’s both trusted and hilariously untrustworthy.
