Now we might be getting on to something!! Even though the sarcastic side of me has to wonder after cleaning my tent with mayo, how does a bear not invision me in my tent as a giant ham and cheese wrap!! grin

Hmmm, oily... what about a bit of murphy's oil soap, any opinions good, bad, indifferent. I guess my main concerns are not to damage the fly, and not to turn it into a bear attractant.
