OH NOOOO !
« on: June 18, 2019, 09:12:11 AM »
Started packing for Bear Quest.
Leaving in a couple days so gotta get my hunting pack checked out and packed up.
My pack was in the garage sitting on a bench from where I left it a year ago after Bear Quest.
Due to being all gimped up last summer and fall, I didnt hunt at all so the pack didnt get used.
Now I start going through the pack and I  discovered that I hadn't unpacked it last year.
The things in the top and side pockets were only things like 1st aid and extra compass and stuff like that.
Now I opened the main compartment and to my surprise, my quilted flannel shirt was shredded with a mouse nest in it.
Now the worst part.
My Asbell wool vest was underneath that.  :scared:
I  thought it was hanging in my closet.  :knothead:
I took it out and looked it all over and thankfully no tore up Mark's anywhere.  :pray:
So I see now there's mouse crap and pee all over the inside of the pack.
I grab some Lysol wipes and try and clean it out.
The stink got so bad that I carried the whole thing to the trash can.
And off we went to Cabelas.
So now I have a new hunting pack and the wool vest is soaking in a bucket with Teresa's magic cleaner.

I've been a victim of my own neglect that way as well.  Expensive lessons like that have made me more assertive in preventing those types of over sights.

It happens!
 Hopefully no one finds out it was your plan all long so you could get a new pack. .
 Probably left some trail mix in the flannels pocket too ha ha.
 But seriously sorry for your loss.

I found the mummified remains of a quail in an old shooting jacket game pouch that I hadn't worn in a year.

Reddoggie, I gotta report that to SOMEONE!
Yeah, smelling like a mouse can’t hurt, Graps.

Pew!  Well, could’ve been worse. Vest could’ve been toast and you could’ve just been thinking about the fall instead of going bear hunting! Have fun!

Had that happen as I left some GORP in a Zip-Loc bag in my backpacking bag.  It now has a small 1" hole chewed in one of the exterior pockets.

I'm so happy. This Asbell vest is wonderful.
It works great for those days that are in between.
I wear it over a flannel shirt and I can handle around 45° and if the temperature drops a little more, a quilted flannel shirt over that and I'm good down to low 30s.

Stix, I did that very same thing but with a Snicker bar--boy did the mouse love that. Chewed a 1" hole in the bottom of a nice fanny pack. :banghead:

Heck, David, I'd chew into a pack for a Snickers bar.
