Critters in Camp

Postby robow8 » Sat Jul 05, 2014 7:15 am

I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do to stay safe bear-wise, but what about the other critters we might encounter. What do we need to do to keep our gear safe from deer, squirrels, mice, marmots, or whatever else might pose a threat to the well being of our gear?

Thanks!

Only time I ever had any issues was in Evolution Valley and a squirrel used my sock material for building a nest. I left them on a rock to dry and it helped itself and chewed a hole. Other than that I have never had anything chew holes or go after my gear.
