Chase that is the weirdest damn thing I think I've ever heard.

was camping just a bit south of where we are right now. She was stealth
camping before Eagle's Nest shelter somewhere. She appearently heard some
sniffing around her bivy sack (which is a super small tent/sleeping bag) and
then a second later found herself being dragged out of her bivy sack a good
20 feet or so by a black bear. It let her go and walked off eventually and
did not maul her at all. Must have scared her to death though. I was told
that she had not hung her food bag for the night, so it was in her bivy sack
with her!! Ooops. Not a good idea."
