View Full Version : Lean-to questions
Ok so this weekend I went hiking from bulls bridge CT to wiley shelter in NY. While there I meet some cool guys who were heading southbound including a guy named Atari and 3 brothers who were hiking the trail together. I ended up staying at the shelter by myself and heard some weird noises. One of the noises sounded like a wolf howling but it could have been an owl, at this point I am not sure but got thinking about one thing.
Has anyone ever had troubles with bears, wolves, or other creatures of the night while sleeping in a lean-to? Specifically, has anyone ever woken up to one such animal actually in the shelter?

Other creatures? Yes. Back in 91 a buddy and I were at a shelter in North Carolina, just south of the NOC. We kept hearing something walking around in the woods around us. I grabbed a stick and he grabbed a rock and we were ready to get it on. As it got closer we tucked down and were ready to fight. We saw something black coming towards us.....and it was a dog. Freaking freaked the freak out of us. Anyhow, that dog hung around with us for a few days till we got to a phone and called the owner to come and get it. I gotta say, being woken in the middle of the night to hearing something walking around in the woods and knowing it ain't human gets the heart pumping.
When I say other creatures I mean oppossums, raccons, porrcupines, skunks or anything along those lines. Basically I want to know if expecting an animal in the shelter is a common occurance and I should worry about or if I should just roll over and get back to sleep when I hear something.
Mice. Tons and tons of mice.
Other than that... no.

Skunks, porcupines, snakes in or near shelters a few times.
Don't know of any lean-to's anymore. Are there still some of those?

Had something that looked like a badger walk up on us in the Blood Mountain Shelter in GA. I guess it could have been a skunk...but looked more like a badger to me!

Shelters used to be called Lean-to's. I guess the shift in name usage is because new buildings are now rarely built in the traditional Adriondacks style. But yes, there are still a number of actual lean-to's on the trail.
Anyway...
One morning in Vermont I woke up to a porcupine about to start licking the salt off my nose - don't know who was more startelled, me or the porkie when I opened my eyes...
At Chimney Pond at Baxter, had a bear come up to the lean-to and drag off my pots and pans from edge of the platform. He dropped those when we yelled at him, but then he proceded to climb the tree in front where we had hung the food. He had to work at it, but eventually he got the food bags down...
Saw a big, fat rattle snake slitter under a shelter in PA. Decided not to stay there, dispite the fact there probably wasn't a mice problem there...
But usually, it is just you and the mice.

That would be a Ground Hog AKA Wood Chuck.
Nasty, flea bitten critters.

We were camping in SNP (but not in a shelter). Sitting around the campfire we heard foot steps all around us in every direction (very creepy). There was no moon and the light from the fire only allowed us to see about 10 yards. We cautiously used the the flashlight to see what was there and saw that just beyond the light of the fire, we were completely surrounded by deer.

I woke up in the Adirondaks with a Newfoundland "puppy" standing on my chest. Pretty funny at -17 degrees, actually.

At Flint Mtn. shelter in 2009 I managed to fall asleep after a night plagued with mice. I woke up in the morning with a strange weight on my back (I was sleeping on my stomach). I shrugged it off and reached for my head lamp. By that time it was gone and so was my courage. Whatever it was, it was heavier than a mouse, for sure. Needless to say, I got a very early start that day.

Human activity, food, cooking, perspiration salt, attracts more of those types of critters to shelters than you might see well away from them in the woods. Nothing to worry about, but a reminder to keep your gear where they can't get to it. Including boots in porky country.
I had the biggest skunk I've ever seen visit me at Murrow Park in NY, walked all under the table I was sleeping on on. Was temped to pet it but simply said good night, and thanks for sharing.
At a shelter in NJ we were all sitting around a fire circle talking and cooking. I had taken my pot off the stove and set it aside for a few minutes. When I reached for it in the dark a raccoon screamed and growled at me like a panther. Some how when everyone jumped up shouting I still didn't spill a drop. I think I scared him as much as he scared me and he ran before he had time to bite me.

You will hear night time forest creature sounds every night. Just roll over and go back to sleep. On my thru i slept sometimes in shelters, but mostly off in the woods by myself in tent, away from shelters. After a short time i found the night time sounds quite relaxing. As long as you or others around you are not sloppy with food, theres nothing to be concerned about.

Had a coyote come within 10 feet of the new Carter Gap Shelter one moonless night while I was asleep alone. Shined my headlamp at it and threw a rock and it took off. I had heard coyotes all around the shelter yipping and yapping right before sundown. The one that approached the shelter woke me up with its panting...very creepy but I knew they wouldn't hurt me. Slept very restlessly the rest of the night. :)

ELDER- It was not a ground hog... I am sure of that. It looked like this guy but in Ga I guess its a skunk?http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/image/jpg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBhMSEBUUEhMWFRUUGBUUFBUYFhQVFxQXFRQXFRQUFB

hahaha... greatest thing ever! If I saw that I might have been a little worried!
OK, if not brownish..probably a skunk. There are several in that area.
They are varied spots/stripes, not all typical. And big, fluffy critters.
Much cleaner than ground pigs (hogs)., more like feral cats.
