I hear ya on the moth balls - that I am still considering - for more than one reason. But I figured if they were such a strong canine deterent that they would work on bears as well. I have heard that diesel fuel is used in the Artic to deter Polar Bears and from what I read it really works. That is the line of thinking I was aiming for. I guess I should relax and do my best - take it as it comes. If the stuff is gone when I get there I can figure something out.

It aint no mountain for a mountain man.
