Ah, a charter member of the Original Flock speaketh!

Over the cliff was a pretty good way to go, though I DO recall the look on one flock member when he pulled up his food pack rope the next morning only to discover it was no longer attached to anything!  Seems those nuisance bears (& guys that look like a bear  ;) ; see WoodsWalker's pic) are quite resourceful.

The "smoldering smoke pile" is a proven anti-mosquito technique.  The source of warmth THAT particular nasty day was liquid, not combustion, as I recall.

Finally, flock protocol and tradition dictate that open food packs are stowed right outside of Quetico Passage's tent, whenever he is in camp.
