    How about this. Instead of asking companies to sponsor your trip why don't you send them a letter that basically says this:

    I'm carrying a filter on my hike. But when the temperature plummets, rendering my filter useless, i'll rely on bleach. I was a bit sketchy about the idea of using regular chlorox bleach but i've seen...

    Maybe the bear was just trying to save the fawn ala Siegfried and Roy. :-)

    I'm confused smoky. I thought you've claimed many times that bears are not predators. This story seems to contradict that claim. Black bears attacking live deer - sounds predatory to me.
