Have you actually tried this? In my experience fabric rachet straps are inadequate for black bears The fencer is cheaper than the damage that the bear will do As to the fencer -- seperate the functions ie a regular battery controller, battery + solar panel (8-12W?) A bit cheaper upfront and down the road too dave *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
