What a trip! Still shaking my head.
I would have eaten that raccoon or bear or whatever if I could have caught it. Are you going to consider a canister?
Prob'ly should, huh? The old food-bag-over-the-tree-limb trick has never failed me before, but I usually take the time to hang it properly. I clearly wasn't thinking when I chose my tree Saturday. At least if I bought a vault I wouldn't have to rent for those trips out west where it's required or there are no trees to sling a bag on. I've never liked the idea of the extra weight, but I'd rather eat.
Rogue, you would have been in storm-lover's heaven here this past weekend. In the spring and a lot of the summer the forecast is pretty much the same every day - always a chance of afternoon/evening thunderstorms brewing up from the heat of the day - so I don't pay a lot of attention unless there's a real system moving in. Luck of the draw this time around - I damn sure wasn't looking for this experience . . .
