Bears Travel Light

We have been looking on with bearish bemusement as our minders make quite a meal of their packing for 'the big trip'. Packing has been going on for weeks now, and there has been an endless cycle of weighing items, discarding and looking for a lighter alternatives or none at all. At least we haven't gone into the discard pile, but then, total weight for the 3 of us, is a mere 99g. At that weight we don't think we're going to be put on a diet.

When you look at the following picture you may begin to appreciate the simplicity of a bear's life ...


On the left you see the sum total of 3 bear's packing for 3 months, yes a waterproof bear porter for us to travel in. Don't get us wrong, we do intend to walk, but the porter is there for contingency - in case it gets really wet or we get really tired.

On the right are the items for, not two minders, but just one. They think they have pared everything down to the bare minimum, but it's not the way it looks to us.

It's just as well they will be carrying it all themselves.

Lots of love, George, Yorkie & Gio xxx
