It's funny when people use the "I've done it and it's been successful"
argument.  ;-)

Theoretically, you could fry up fifteen pounds of bacon, make a bed out of
it, sleep on it and never have a problem ... because a bear didn't happen to
be in the vicinity that evening, but it's not any kind of valid proof that
it's safe to sleep on bacon in bear country.

mmmmm .... baaaaaaacon.
