Never having a problem with shelter mice, I would like to why, what am I doing right? It has not been uncommon for my shelter mates to wake up with entry and exit holes in their food bags and or packs. I do tend to think it may be my diet, which is quite a bit different then what I would consider a conventional hiker's diet is.
Now I know these little critters will eat anything, but having been raised on hiker food for generations I would think they would develop a preference for it, and perhaps bypass food that smells a bit different then they usually get.
My trail diet is low in carbs with almost no sugar. No or very little pastas or rice sides, no noodles usually, no poptarts however I usually have some sort of bread, so there is that. I usually have a abundance of meats, cheeses and sometimes eggs.
So wondering how the little critters treat your pack and how your diet is?
