When it's time to get a new tent.

When the poles snap, the nylon splits and tears, the fly rots off from UV exposure, it's a good sign that you won't get another winter season out of it.

actually this is what it looks like when a Griz' gets into your Illinois backyard camp out, all because we left food laying about overnight. Let that be a lesson learned.

No way...crazy. Looks like someone took a sword to it.

Truth is, I rolled a sommersault in through the door Sat. night. Cracked a pole and split nylon down the side. Crash, you're correct as the rest was done with a samuri sword the next AM to finish it off. (Ash, we have no grizzly in suburban Chicago area, sorry)
Actually IF we had a supply of ice cream stashed inside the tent, this could be the after effects of Badash' coming after to get some, eh??? Haahaheeeeehheee!!

crash, you've been reading too many Nevada Barr novels, eh? RR, the platoon Sgt. would say that's just 'natural air conditioning you got there soldier'. But a griz story does make it sound better. Just the fence and nice lawn in the background that kinda gives it away though...

just added a nice chain saw carved grizzley to the decor outback here at the camp. So next time a tent gets all slashed up in the middle of the night, we could blame it on the bear after all.

where was this? that logo kinda looks like Chicago Bears, but not the graphics or colors at all. Some college mascot or just an artistic bear witha finga' for us?

Just grabbed it off a google search, but checked it out and its part of some kind of Vancouver sale by bear artists of "Spirit Bears." I kid you not. Dig these ursine bird flippers.
