      Check out a hardware store or Amazon for mothballs and coyote urine, put the mothballs in the corners of the engine bay so you wont have a fire and spray the Coyote piss all one the engine bay or have your animal urinate all over the engine bay. NO JOKE... Well maybe Rocco could have a problem with that. Mice are scared of predatory animal smells. Good luck and Happy trails...

    I realize you are probably well aware of this but your backpack makes for a “better than nothing” helmet if your caught it rockfall and have to hunker down. It won’t keep you from getting killed but it might keep you from getting knocked out and then dying in the subsequent fall. 😬 as your scrambling for cover take your pack off and hold it on your head, or don’t forget your helmet ⛑ 😀

    A dogs life naturally is to get up early, go search for food and water then sleep the rest of the day type thing. Makes sense to take her out early all day and tucker her out so you can do your own thing. Worst thing people can do is not exercise a dog in the morning, it's all they want really. She's looking like quite the character!
