Yep. It won't open. I get an error message:
error calling pre_downloadattachment -- Undefined subroutine &ProBoards::Include::db_quote called at /usr/local/PBV4.5/modules-new/downloadattachment.pl line 70

Oh, well. It is the one I put on FB, but some of the folks on here, aren't on FB.

It worked for me. Took it a minute or two to decide to, but it worked.
It's pretty neat, but I have to ask why are you hanging food from a tree?

Michelle, it is for the trek on the AT. Everyone hangs their food bags to keep the bears from getting into them.

Bears can climb trees. So, why does that work?
I didn't have any trouble opening the pic, although I had to download it on my computer. What I had trouble with was getting back here. I didn't know how to close the pic. It's probably my fault, though, I don't know how to work Windows 8 yet.

Gayle, you hang the bucket from a branch at least 10 ft above the ground and at least 10 ft from the tree trunk. Not too many bears are going to be able to climb that far out on a branch since it will be fairly thin at that point. The trick is to pick a limb that is sturdy enough for the food, but not the bears.

Ok, that makes sense. How long till bears figure out they can get the food if they pull the rope?

Very thin rope and the end is pretty high up. The bears have discovered how to get the bags off bear cables and some of the bear poles that the forest service uses.

bears aren't all that smart - they're just sneaky as heck - and they never tell the truth -
hey, does that mean someday a bear will be president ?

They sure find out how to be 'gimmedats' in a hurry, once they taste the goodies. They don't wait for a handout, they want to eat your lunch and pop your bag!
