Jan, based on some of your posts, I am beginning to get the idea that you don't really want any up close and personal contacts with bears! LOL
One of the reasons I like it, the avoidance of food smells. With a skillet in your pack you REALLY need to be sure your not a walking bear magnet. You can bury the paper bag, it will decompose and your not a walking bacon billboard
I've done it. First time was in high school chemistry class, back when teachers could let students try crazy things! You can also boil water in a paper cup. Paper burns at 451 degrees Fahrenheit. The grease from the bacon or the water in the cup prevents the temperature of the paper to get that hot.
I have seen that one a few times Jan. I need to try it.
OK, I like this one, why carry and clean a skillet if you dont have to
Too bad about the owl. Looks real pretty.
Now you need a new Owl to eat them mice!!
Say WHAT! You mean to tell me that that owl just let you pick it up? Looks like a hand puppet in this picture. I don't think I want to know where your hand might be, either!
A group of friends who went deer hunting separated into pairs for the day. That night, one hunter returned alone, staggering under a huge buck.
"Where's Harry?", asked another hunter.
"He fainted a couple miles up the trail," Harry's partner answered.
"You left him lying there alone and carried the deer back?"
"It was a tough decision," said the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Harry."
Bless you all Robert. Honoring her in that manner had great meaning to the husband I am sure
