And mice love pack towels for bedding material. If you leave your pack towel
out at night, soon it is likely to resemble swiss cheese. In my lightening-up
effort, I discarded my holey towel scrap. As a substitute, I cut a bandanna in
quarters and stitched a little alligator clip to the corner of one of the
quadrants. That became my towel. Another quadrant went into my pocket as a
handkerchief. The other two will be replacements some time. I've never missed
the bigger spongy towel. YMMV.
