BARS Rev 3 Ver 1.0

In our latest attempt to discourage late night visits from our furry friends (Yogi and family?). I have set up a SCARE BEAR. You know, a scare crow to frighten bears.

The SCARE BEAR consists of a piece of welded art Lynda's Dad created with a solar powered light behind it. The following three views are what a bear would see in the dark, what he would see if he had a flash camera with him (digital of course) and what it looks like in the day light.




Last night was the pilot and...no bears! Not that that proves anything. We may not be on his Sunday night 'rounds' or he may have taken the Memorial Day weekend off to visit BooBoo.

Stay tuned for Version 1.1 and 1.2 (released together). They include THE SHOT GUN and UP UP AND AWAY.

  • Interesting! If it did happen to work, I think you have a new career. Selling 'Kettle Scare Bears'. Or, Kenny's Kettle Scare Bears'=)

  • No, I changed my mind.
    Kettle-Kenny's Scare Bear.

  • SCARE BEAR Beta Test a dismal failure!

    In a press release early this morning, WWE (Wrigley Wranch Enterprises) announced that their Beta Test on the new innovative SCARE BEAR pilot has been discontinued.

    Overnight testing resulted in Yogi or one of his friends (perhaps the grandchildren of BooBoo who is now over sixty) visited the test site, ignored SCARE BEAR and proceeded to raid trash. Fortunately, test preparations included only one bag of ‘dry’ trash.

    WWE has also announced suspension of future orders of FAWN BEGAWN.

    Plans for the BEAR-B-Q are still under consideration.

    Site clean up and environmental impact of raid will continue today.

    Details on above products can be furnished upon request.

  • WWE Research Director - Nancy James, PHD (Piled Higher and Deeper) - recently discovered that the name Bear Be Gone could not be used for the SCARE BEAR in commercial use since there is already a patent pending for that product with a WWE competitor.

    No indications that Bear-B-Q has been patented yet.

  • Okay, so the one good thing about all this bear talk is that it definitely has this California sun-loving Wrigley considering that maybe a winter trip might not be bad at all -- I mean, what's snow and cold compared to a hungry bear prowling around outside your guest quarters? :o)

    Hmmm, maybe a little Christmas trip -- while the bears are HIBERNATING!

  • Have you considered the threat of Polar Bears?

    There is another safety technique besides jingle bells and pepper spray. You sleep in your tent with tennis shoes on! You don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than at least one of the other campers! Suggestion: If Jeff is your only camping partner...put rocks in his shoes at bedtime and tie his shoe laces together.

  • Rocks or no rocks. I'm still the fastest one at Wrigley Wranch.
