MCavity's story about the woman who got her face chewed off by a dog had it happen in her sleep (she was out of it with drugs and the alike). That really didn't make me a fan of going to bed in a basha with my face wide open for Mr Stupid Fox to munch on!!! That would have been a rubbish story for the forum.

No joke, he told us all about it while we were setting up camp. Really the last story I wanted to remember after Mr Fox's first basha raid. The idea of locking everything into my bag and still using my bag as a pillow, while in my open face Bivi....no fricking way!!! Which is why I left the food out. If Mr Fox was coming back, I wanted him to go for the food, not my face. It turns out you have to scare them off loads of times, but they keep coming back. So the only way around it was to up the tent. Stupid Mr Fox. Persistent, but arrogant with it too. He had a sly grin on his jowly chops that said "I like to eat faces while people sleep!"

That is why most farmers shoot them on sight. There is no other way to stop them.
