    Makes you think eh.
    Wow, I was told once by a ranger that it is about 1 per 20 in the eastern range. I thought that was impressive.

    Source(s) ?

    poll should be modified to include " camp and hang and never had a problem" and variations on that theme.

    I've never had a problem. If no bear cables, I hang food bag quite low, but a few feet away from my hammock.

    I know of people who hung food from bear cables and mice chewed into the food bag (from the amazing walenda mouse family, I resume)

    I wish a knew how to edit that poll. I barely figured out how to post it. Hammock guys are people too. (I'm actually considering joining the ranks.)

    My apologies, also, to Santa if the poll distracted your thread/topic.
