...like some perfumes and fragrant soaps do? If so, should you leave your tent and fart away from the campsite? :-?

Can't be, otherwise there would be many more reports of bear encounters. ;)

Ursus Coprophagnous....aka "S..t-eating bear." Don't laugh; dogs do it all the time...:-?

Great thought, but I think you have more of a chance of suffocating in your own methane clouded tent than you do having a bear follow the scent to find you and hunt down the source of what to them may be quite fragrant!

Ya now LW if you used hiking poles and ultra light gear you wouldn't strain yourself so much which might be causing that. LOL

I can make a zombie's eyes water, so I'm not worried about bears. Buzzards won't even circle overhead.

ya they do. bears are driven by instinct and that includes eating your corn hole.

Watch your corn hole.
