[pct-l] Portable Electric Fence

[marmot marmot]

Me too    as I'm setting up my tent I am gathering my large pile of rocks.  I snuggle in to cook dinner with my enormous pile of throwable rocks within reach---then I drift off to sleep. No place better than the trail. Can't wait to be out there again.  Marmot
