    Moose nuggets are a favourite food of my dogs, but just if they're frozen. However, if consumed in vast quantites, they cause the dog to get very thirsty and bloat up with gas, which then negatively impacts the air quality in the cabin.
    Which leads me to a question about bear safety: what's the point of hanging your food and all smelly articles if eating your soupmix or dried fruit ends up making the tent so stinky at night that even a bear with severe sinus problems can smell it 5 miles against the wind??? I've never seen this talked about in any of those handy bear safety pamphlets!

    Well,since they dont smell like food,I would hope they would actually be a deterrent to bears rather than attract them to your tent,I have never been in bear country though.so I cant say thats really true.

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    I have to admit, I never thought an outhouse thread would make 52 posts but there you go folks. Proof that wilderness people are easily entertained.

    Works both ways, Rick I only spend about 2-3 weeks of the year among people and find it really eye-opening what's bothering the rest of my species But I fear this foum fearures a somewhat skewed representation.

    Do you suppose bears sit around somewhere and discuss "us" the same way.

    Bear 1: "The most illogical specie on the planet."
    Bear 2: "Tell me about it. Last week I saw this boar lock himself out of that big metal thing."
    Bear 1: "Man"
    Bear 2: "What?"
    Bear 1: "It's called a man."
    Bear 2: "What, the big metal thing?"
    Bear 1 shaking his head: "No. The boar is called a man. The big metal thing is called a truck or something like that. Hand me another salmon."
    Bear 2: "Sure. Here. It's called man? What a stupid name. Fits 'em though."

    Oh I'm sure they discuss us.
    Couple years ago, I woke up early cause I had to go pee, so I sleepily made my way out the cabin and just squatted down to go pee. It was dusk, and when I opened my eyes a bit more there was this big dark lump on the trail that had never been there before. Turned out to be a black bear, having his soapberry breakfast. He stared at me in slack-jawed amazement, then jumped back a few yards, while I still sat there. The bear came back to have another look, sort of scratching his head "well it stinks like a human but doesn't behave like one, what the heck...?" Then when I got up, he jumped back again, stared some more and when I walked back to the cabin he bounded off into the bush, more or less shaking his head all the way at the unfathomable way of humans: coming out to go pee next to him, while he's having breakfast! What next..?

    I think we all may have a look of disbelief on our faces if we looked up and a black bear was using our dining room as a bathroom.
