The cabin isn't that big, but you don't spend much time indoors except for really bad weather, cooking or sleeping.

It amazes me to see people jogging though bear country with earplugs in, with the music jacked up and totally oblivious to what is going on around them... Bears will "Pop" their teeth together when they are PO'd, not a sound you would care to miss... Much less the noise of them coming though the bushes...

Jogging with earbuds in bear country should not be allowed. Isn't that just making it way to easy for the bear?

You can't legislate "Stupid"...

Besides, it gets rid of the lesser gene pool....

Guess you should worry if heading into the wilderness and someone (your beneficiary?) gives you an ipod.

Either that or give you really heavy boots if they are going with you, they don't have to outrun the bear, just you...

Starlite please pass on to Duane that the pic is great. Love the caption.
BTW the cabin that he and Rena built is lovely, more so reading the blog and knowing what they did to achieve it.
