But y'all are absolutely correct, and I feel kind of stupid for bringing it up.

I've raised the point before and have been scoffed at -- i think the group is thinking rain and small animals much more likely than bears, which we never see. Camp pretty pristine, and we try to stay on islands anyway.

still, it would behoove me to raise more of a fuss.
