    I remember hearing a guy tell me that at their summer cabin they would spend all summer there and the last thing his mom did before they packed up, she would open 2 pkgs of yeast and dump them in the outhousee. In the spring they would come back to an empty outhouse. The yeast actively ate what was in there. I have no clue is that was true and I can't remember who it was and the fact that it's been decades. Anyway... may be worth a try to experiment??

    Do more of those. Looks like a Glock, classic square top frame; recoil light; probably 9mm. - The better bear repellant. Now that you have blueberries by the cabin. Always keep a cheapie fishing rod set and some tackle at the cabin. That’s where those $25 Zebco rod and real sets come in handy. They work.
