People like Nathan Foster are (in my mind) a product of the modern age of trinkets, diverse products and choice. If you had told the Forrest Service cullers and latter meat hunters this stuff we would have laughed you out the door. The difference I think is that pragmatic people using ordinary tools rely on the norm, where as the modern day expert relies on the exception and the extraordinary.
I think the nice balance is to acknowledge that shit happens from time to time and mitigate it when you can, but don't let it consume you.
