Margaret: Isn't your mix what is mainly used for a cobbler ? Becomes more biscuit.

Eric: Don't forget to sift your flour first.

Because they start off totally immersed, they dont get crusty like a cobbler crust would.

So you want to give the bear a little more entertainment for the last few seconds of your life, before he chases you down and rips you to pieces We aint talking Yogi and Booboo here I was thinking more in terms of making sure there is no garbage or leftovers in your camp, taking notice of all posted warnings, checking with the park rangers about bear sightings ... little things that keep you alive. And in areas which are not designated National, Provincial, or Regional parks, have a gun handy, one that packs some punch. I have a Winchester model '94 (the one the cowboys use in the movies) in 44 magnum calibre ... and if it comes down to the question of you or the bear, point and pull .... and keep pulling until the bear goes down.

Now that would be telling

Think of me as that person who is prepared to sacrifice myself on the altar of technology so you can live a 'normal' life, I know, its a cross I have to bear!

Thanks ... that's something I can look at, and, eh, for five bucks I can give it a try .... When winter arrives, I will be spending a lot more time cooking inside; and I don't mind experimenting ..... if things don't work, there aint much a Rottweiller won't scoff down givent the chance

I think that what you see on TV is nowhere near real life situations Eric, on the TV the bear always loses but as you say, in real life in your neck of the woods, its entirely different. As from our point of view we ain't actually going to be confronted by a bear in Foxhill Bank nature reserve

You never know ... I might just sneak a couple in there when no one is watching
