Narrative:

Planned to drive from minnesota to south dakota to do a little turkey hunting and camping. I assembled my camping equipment a couple weeks before leaving, which included a small camp stove filled with white gas. A few days before leaving, plans changed and decided to fly instead of drive. I neglected to remove or empty stove. Gas leaked into duffle bag. Luckily ramp personnel detected odor and removed bag. Can't believe I was so stupid. Wonder how many other people do this also?
