who did I leave out?
 
: Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he? :D
 
Well I am glad I was wrong! Fine effort Wal!

My personal interest in this aspect of the Bear is of course, limited. I'm sure there are many out there who will be able to add substantially to this exciting start though.
 
Here is a photo I took of the signiture left by a night time visitor on the side of our tipi. He was responsable for my logo.

....but you cain't come in......
Old anti-bear-who-visits-at-night chant. Works better in tipi with log walls :rolleyes:

Was that limerick so old that NOBODY can finish it, or so old that everybody knew it:confused:
 
Thanks for very interesting pix, BB. I trust that food inside tipi was stuffed into anti-smell-by-bear containers.

I'm older than anybody, Wal, and I don't remember that little ditty.
 
OK...There was a young lady named Claire,
Whose lover was covered with hair...
Se jumped up in fright, and turned on the light.......

She'd been had by Smokey the Bear.

Sorry I was forced to do that :D

The power of this forum to educate and enlighten should never be underestimated.
 
KOALA and POOH.

Uncle the thing that amazed us most about our visitor was we did have food, all kinds, in bowls, bags and baskets. It was our first night, we were dog tired(including our dog) and bears had only very recently been seen in that part of Virginia. They had been all but killed off for years before. This was in '76. A fellow we knew had another tipi set up on the other side of this mountain and the bears destroyed it. Which we didn't hear about till after our visit.
 
I've camped in a homemade tipi many a time (a few years ago now). A tipi is a wonderful design. Maybe a little trouble to put up (especially in the rain) compared to those pop-open gadgets, but once up, you could get warm and dry in no time.

We were never bothered by bears, and no other critters (like racoons) ever broke in, but field mice did sometimes humorously scamper up and down the dew cloth (inner liner).

Just being in it never failed to bring a feeling of peace.
 
Hi Buoy, We loved living in our tipi. It was a lot of fun. My wife, daughter, dog and myself lived in this one for about a year. The only wildlife problem we had were rattle snakes. You just had to keep your eyes open.
 
When I first moved to Upstate NY, I and a couple of friends went to a hunting camp out in the middle of nowhere. We got there real late and were dead tired from working all day. No one had eaten, so we got out some sandwiches and crackers, ate, and went to sleep. My sleeping bag was right underneath an old wooden table where the food was. A couple of hours later I woke up hearing crunch, crunch, crunch with little bits of food falling on me. I reached over to the
lamp and turned it up. There was a field mouse perched over the edge of the table, eating ritz crackers above my head.
 
Tipis are a good design I've always thought. You've got a high angle roof for good precip runoff and you can stand up in them and most of the high tech pop up tents mentioned don't offer that option and there are some things (like trying to put on your jeans!) that are much easier to do standing than on your knees.

And better a field mouse than a bear, wolve!

My brother knew a guy in Boyscouts named Larry that had glasses 1/2" thick and could not see 12" without'em.

One night while camping Larry got out of his tent to answer the call of nature. He didn't bother taking his glasses, he just found the first tree he came across and went.

Somewhere in the back of his mind while he was going going he thought to himself, "I don't remember this tree being here when I piched camp." And to his suprise the entire tree moved! :eek:

Squinting, the poor guy made out the shape of a moose! The moose, obviously as scared as he was, bolted running directly over his tent, trashing it and all of his stuff, then continueing out the other side of the camp sight.

When my brother woke up a few hours later Larry was there too greet him with "I peed on a moose!"
