Coincidently, I just received an e-mail from a friend with whom I've done a lot of backpacking. He sent me an article about a boyscout that was attacked by a bear in Pennsylvania's Hickory Run State Park, while sleeping. I told him that bears don't worry me, as I carry a chain mail sleeping bag cover. It weighs 65 pounds.

notfunny
SonofV preeeettyyyy scared of the bears in the woods. Refused to take snack at bedtime--"so I don't have a scent." Ok. Good idea. But don't let your fear of bears overwhelm your enjoyment of the woods. He got over it. btw, that chainmail is not gonna help you. Plate mail is what you want. Like a can or an iron lung. The chain still crushes.

Where I can, I try to use the triangular camp setup, where the cooking area, food storage area and tent form the triangle vertices, and no cooking or food is allowed in the tent.
