[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9253331, member: 6801845"] We were backpacking in the Tetons National Park in Montana, ironically looking for a tree to suspend our food bag from so bears wouldn't get it. Something big enough walking around to hear that I could not see. My nephew and I made sure to continue chatting so it knew we were there. Sometimes you can see a hundred feet, usually you can't if it's at all dense. I've walked around a curve in a path and almost walked into a moose (backpacking Isle Royale) before. Seriously, have you never been in a forest? It just depends on the forest. This image is a forest denser that what we were in but how well do you think you could see something a hundred feet away? It's not a carefully groomed and mowed park.
