Well, what a day.

Woke up in the early hours to the rattling of my cookpot outside my tent inner. Got my headlamp to see what critter was there, and a nose poked through the tiny 1 inch gap I left in my zip.

Before I knew it, my new guest has wiggled the zip open, and I was face to face with a lovely looking skunk!

I opened the door and threw my sleeping bag and pad outside and called for help! We managed to coax it out but in shooing it away (‘get away you stinky bastard’ in Freddy’s words), it sprayed between our tents.

Well I’ve got the stink out of most of my stuff now, thank god.

Freddy has video evidence
