    Hammock Forest

    :confused: I've camped and overnighted in my hammock at Postern Hill a few times over the winter and into spring and I've had no problem with the rangers. I take nappy bags with me to dispose of waste, but neither of them have ever asked me about my provisions. I have found them both friendly...

    Tesco sleeping bag warning.

    Similar experience here, I could get in without difficulty (or clothes :) ) but it was a bit "Speedo - Second Skin" so I figured I'd unzip it and use it as a blanket now I've got my lovely underblanket. AC xx

    This is bugging me

    :) I can do all but the ear wiggling, also roll my tongue, lick my own nose (and chin) rub my head and pat my tummy (or vice versa at will). The foot thing took a bit of practise, but I can do that now as well. Interestingly, my dad can wigle his ears independantly of each other, turn his...

    TV show in America

    I saw the whole first season and bits of the second while I was in the US, I agree, for tv it's a pretty good series, although it gets more "Desperate Housewives" as it goes beyond the first season. :) AC x

    Bushcrafting Wives/girlfriends/partners

    Well, I seem to be an example of exactly what is needed here, an axe-wielding single bushbabe who's keen to enhance her edumacation in all things wild and wooly, hammocked and totally into kit and sharps.... We certainly do exist. AC

    Mountain Lion country

    Ahh :( I remembered that for the Mountain Lions, but I thought bear was different. As omnivores I thought the ranger had said that bears won't attack human-sized for food, they mostly attack for defence and if you show yourself as non-threatening they won't continue. He did say that with...

    Mountain Lion country

    Oooh, last thought Wink, get a couple of little cannisters of pepper spray, and keep one in your pocket, Bears hate it and Cougars should as well.

    Mountain Lion country

    To be honest, in terms of danger to your person, neither one is likely to bother you much, the cooking and storage advice is good, and depending on the weather the same goes for anything "smelly" I don't know if you're likely to, but steer clear of deodorant/cream anything like that. If it's...

    Back to civilisation

    I have a habit of packing up messily after an outing, so back in civ I unpack everything, air it out, make sure it's dry and mud free (I attract mud like a mud-magnet) and then once everything is clean and dry I re-pack it ready for the next outing. I have a spot on top of my wardrobe that just...

    Mountain Lion country

    Good advice, it works to keep deer from eating the veg on your patch at home as well :) however, being of the female persuasion, it's more difficult to do the urine boundary thing on the spur of the moment :) When I did it around my garden I had a bit of time (and facility) to get the job done...

    Mountain Lion country

    In my experience of living in Montana for 4 years, Mountain Lions usually can't be bothered with food that puts up much of a fight. When I was in Northern Montana they used to eat domestic house cats and a group of them would occasionally pull down a young bison, but for the most part they...
