Title: Re: Bear-proofing camp....Jacobson's references Post by db on Mar 15th, 2013 at 6:26pm
I feel the need to offer a lighter alternative to Pinesol.
The guy that lead my first trip handed out a gear list to everyone. One line near the end of the list was bear repellent. Next year at the orientation, someone asked what that was. As I recall he kinda dodged the question ... calling it a joke. A few years later I was at his house drinking beer so I asked him outright. Turns out it was mothballs. I only offer that alternative as Pinesol gives me an instant headache. A little sachet of mothballs would be lighter and you could take it with you from one campsite to the next ... and home with you. |
