Thread: When Possums Attack

So the other weekend I was on a solo trip in the Kaimanawas. After finishing half of the back country mexican meal (tasted like offal) I decided to leave this on the INSIDE of my tent, neatly placed in the corner by my feet. I tucked myself into bed with my ear plugs securely placed, toasty like a bug in a rug ready for sleep after a big day stalking on the hill.

3 hours later I woke to a dead weight on my legs.. It was a big ass possum! I smacked the thing as hard as I could and it bolted through the freshly torn big hole through the meshing of my nice Kuiu Mountain Star tent.

I looked around the floor of my tent to find the disgusting mexican backcountry had been attacked and splattered everywhere.. All while I was asleep! I cleaned it all up after about 30 minutes and tried to go back to sleep. Literally 5 minutes later the bastard came straight back in for more!

I had enough. It was 10:30PM and I decided to walk 4 hours back to the truck in the dead of the night. Shortly after packing all my gear up I spotted the possum and split him in half. Stoked.

Who would you guys recommend to repair this? Insurance have covered it which is pretty sweet.
