Some good advice: when bivouacked in Moose territory and you hear something in the distance akin to a brontosaurus trampling down brush--DON'T MOO. lol A mother and her calf had come tromping through my camp. I was lucky I had already packed my gear when that happened.

Thanks for your response and I'll take a look at the posts you mentioned.

Cheers
