I think it is a credit to her that she is continuing her thru hike and can reflect back on it with a keen sense of humor after only a week.
Glad to hear (though not surprised) that Brian and Brandon are helping her gear get back in order.

OP, Wow what a story thank for posting the link.
Good move IMO. How different would it be if one washed up with Dr Bonners and smelling like the soap vs having a bar in your hammock?
Not much i'll bet or maybe even worse.
Time to go check my ditty bag. No more smelly things in there and I'm changing my trail handle to "stinky hiker" haha
Glad I don't wash!!!!!

I wanted to revisit this as I was wondering could the bear have really been after smells from the soap or toothpaste etc..? or could it be that he/she was defending its turf? - since having tents & hammocks in the area are not the usually objects they are used to in the woods
just a thought -- I know my dog reacts in a defensive way when an odd object may be int he yard or a field.
if a female bear very possible baby bears could have been close by since this is that time of yr.

I'm thankful that Turtle Feet is OK!
It's not intuitively obvious that we need to bear-bag toothpaste, soap, deoderant, etc.
This is a good reminder for all of us.
