6/26/11 – Crew member Meg Simon just made it back to Sawbill for her second season. She is arriving with much enthusiasm for the summer to come. Today she wanted to make sure everyone was clear on how to hang our bear pack that we use for demonstrations outside the store. She wasted no time directing us all on how it should be correctly done.
The key points in hanging a bear pack are to make sure it is at least 12 feet off the ground and 6 feet from the nearest branch or tree. By using two ropes and a pulley this can easily be accomplished. To learn how to use this system feel free to ask one of the crew members hanging around the store. -Jessica

Meg making sure she is high enough off the ground so that a bear could not reach her. (Do not try this at home!)
