	Furball sent me these four shots: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Here is my favorite: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) FWIW - I still think hanging is better than hiding. If a bear this determined finds your foodpack, at least you can enjoy the show. Thanks a lot Furball.

If they are going to get it at least they will have to hang 12+ feet from the ground and do acrobatics to get there. At least make them work for it. Great pictures and that must of been some really strong rope/twine.

	I've seen that bear before I think it was Ringling Brothers what an act. Furball how long did it take you to train that bear on the high wire? What a hoot! flp

" You guys keep hanging your bear pinatta, if everybody hid their pack then the bears would become accustomed to it and it wouldn't work anymore. Although I have to admit after seeing those pictures maybe it would be worth it to hang just to see the show. Nice pictures Furball---thanks for posting db. Tim

	Amazing! I would have never believed a bear could climb out on a rope like that. Even looking at the pictures, I'm not sure I believe it. It just goes to show you that if a bear really really wants something he will find a way to get it. I'll still hang my food knowing that old smokey will have to put more effort into getting it than just running behind a bush.

Hang a pack filled with wood or something. Then you can still watch the show and not loose your food.

	Glad everyone enjoyed them. I sure got a kick out of them. It was actually one of my Dad's friends at the cabin that snapped the shots and passed them along. So I can't take the credit, what a laugh though, I can just picture walking back to my pack and a bear swinging on the rope like Tarzan.

	I also wasn't sure I believed it when I saw them. But they sure don't look faked when I zoomed in etc..., I think the one of him hanging with his front paws etc... was just before he fell.

	Furball, These pics are becoming famous. They have found their way now through our office spam-mail. I'm wondering whether to act "surprized". -YB
