<p>How about a Diaper Bag ? Use a clean diaper to cover the equipment and ball up one stuff it in a corner, might want to use a little coloring on the balled up one. Now who would want to take a diaper bag with dirty diapers inside. :-)</p>

You know when I hear stories like this, it makes me very sad for the human and the animal involved.

And reminds me of this conversation that will take place in the not to distant future between a child and their parents or grandparents. It goes like this.

Grandpa what were wild animals like?

Well from the best I can tell, they walked on all 4 feet, and some of them were big and killed and eat people.

Why did they do that?

Well I'm not rightly sure why, but from what the old timers say, it was because people didn't understand them, destroyed their homes and feared them. And when people fear something, their reaction is to destroy it if they can, they hunted down all the animals and killed just about all of them.

Grandpa will a wild animal eat me?

I don't think you have to worry about that happening, not since they paved just about the whole planet and contaminated the oceans so bad with chemicals.

Grandpa if they killed off all the wild animals, I'll never be able to see any of them.

Well there are few places left called Zoo's where there is still a very few animals that are kept in cages, But I'm afraid by the time your growed up they too will be gone.

Boy Grandpa I sure wish I could have seen some of them wild animals.

Well come to think of it, maybe you can see some of them. I believe around here somewhere there is an old container that belonged to my Grandpa and it has some old faded pictures in it. Lets see if we can find it!.

I know a lot, if not everybody will say, this conversation will never happen. My question to them is, where was that concrete mixer or log truck or asphalt truck going that went pass your house today ?

.

As far as what happened to the young lady and the cougar it was tragic. But don't let this stop you from going out and seeing the beauty of nature and wild animals. Just be careful and respect them both, for the container Grandpa is looking for, may have longed to you.

P.S. As for not taking food along with you when your out there. I would rather share a peanut butter and jelly sandwich then be the main course.
