Saturday 1/20/2007 Afternoon Presentation-Hiking the John Muir Tail
Bert Kunze presented a talk and slide show about his trip hiking the John Muir Trail. For those of you unfamiliar, the JMT (not the one in Big South Fork) runs 216 miles between the Yosemite Valley and Mt. Whitney (at close to 15,0000 ft, the highest peak in the contiguous United States).
The most interesting point was his bear repellent. <GROSS Comments>Warning, it gets a little gross right here. He collected his urine throughout the day. At night, he sprinkled it around his bear proof cannister and in a circle around his camp site. He has a picture showing a bear approaching his camp, but it went away. Later he heard that a bear had decimated a camp across the river and he assumed it was the same one. For your information ladies, he says this only works for a male’s urine.</GROSS Comment>
