We were getting visited nightly by a very large black bear, who’d rummage though our tents and kitchen area. We got the bright idea to wrap bacon around an aerosol can and coat it with pancake syrup figuring that one good bite and he would find another camp to raid. When the bear showed up that night we all hid behind a big tree, so as not to get sprayed with flying breakfast ingredients and aluminum shards. When someone finally peered around the tree, the bear was content to lick the can. There’s five years of college for you. Us, not the bear.
