[pct-l] new bear protection device

I'm reminded of Jurassic Park when it comes to goats...

"Where's the goat?  What happened to the goat?!"

Carry a goat!!
We were on the TRT this month and in the middle of the night a bear wandered
by camp to check out the bear cans.
All 5 goats, 2 with horns, got up and headed toward the bear. Two goats were
tied so they all formed a line facing the bear. Bear took one look at these
strange creatures and left.
We have wondered how bear/goat interfaces would go, but no one seems to have
had a problem with black bears and goats so far.
