What I meant was getting accidentally shot by a hunter. It apparantly happens more often than wild animal attacks.
Very true. Mosquito's have been responsible for more deaths than the combined fatalities from every war in the last 100 years.
How safe are we

Tell me some of these big cat stories beside a campfire in the middle of the night after a few beers and you'd see me looking worried 
It's amazing what darkness does to the imagination

Looking forward to it mate
Hey Spammel, I used to work with an old boy who was stationed at Belsen in the 50's - he told me countless ghost stories about the place, both anecdotal and first-hand.
And funny you mention about your spare undies, as one night on watch he said he saw a clearly anguished male figure crawling across a large expanse of forecourt towards him in silence, and long story short, he wished he had a spare pair with him too.
He was a really straight-shooting bloke. No nonsense. I definitely wouldn't pitch my hammock there without a couple liters of holy water to hand! :theyareon

Of course you and switch'll post a full report of the weekend early next week - If you both make it back
A bloke I used to work with saw and followed a big black cat whilst out walking the dog in the Wigan area. This chap is ex military and straight as a die and I had no reason to doubt his story. He was featured in the local paper in an interview.
Edit: When I say followed I mean went down the hill to where he had saw it but I can't remember if he said he saw any tracks but I doubt it otherwise I'd had definitely remembered.
If you want wild in times past you used to be able to camp pretty much anywhere in the Okavango swamp in Botswana. Concessions were "owned" by an operator and you could camp anywhere with their permision. NO fences!! You literally got all sorts walking through camp from lion to elephant. Sitting around a fire with a ring of eyes just in the darkness takes some getting used to!! Hyenas!! The feeling at the time was as long as none of you stuck out of the tent to tempt a bite you were ok Food needed to be stored in steel boxes and locked to stop mostly Hyenas and baboons swiping it. Brilliant place and still largely unspoiled.

Hyenas you say - don't those bad boys have a habit of biting you in the face as you sleep? [I just shuddered typing that].
Watch out for deadfall aswell, I went out with the kids a while abck for an afternoon walk and a huge branch fell out of the tree about ten metres away. Made one hell of a racket and if we'd have been under it....Squasho!!!
Has anybody seen the film Wolf Creek? It's the homicidal maniacs you have to worry about, not the big cats.:yikes:
