Many years ago, I got to spend about six months living in tents in the Kosovo region. Now, there are many many reasons why living in a large communal tent for six months isn’t much fun. And one of the more annoying reasons is vermin.
See, our camp was located in what used to be a great big field. And in the great big field there lived a great many mice. Resourceful mice, with a taste for MRE’s, and a rather impressive set of rappelling gear, based on the places that they were able to get into.
At one point we had some candy stuck an large decorative tin can, on top of a television, on top of a plastic storage bin. So this is a good four feet off of the ground, with every surface made of smooth plastic or metal. And mice still got in. I figure they were lowering themselves down from the roof, with some elaborate pulley system, like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
