[pct-l] CHEESE

[Edward Anderson]

They could not eat it because they could not SMELL it.  It is apparently sealed to not let smells out as it comes. If I were to remove the cheese from its plastic packaging and put it in the same spot or even in a zip-lock bag they would get it. If I were to remove it from it's packaging and put it in an OP Sac they could not smell it. I will continue the experiment that way.

One has to wonder why the rodents wouldn't eat it.

Here is what I am looking for in a cheese for the trail.  1) Does it have to be refrigerated?  2) Does it have good calories per ounce?  3) Is it available pre-packaged in small sizes?  4) Very Important - will it pass the rodent smell test? 5) is it tasty? 6) Is it small?

I put it where mice and rats could have free access to it. So far, no takers. At 80 calories per slice, each slice weighing .75 ounces (21 grams), I get 106.7 calories per ounce. A slice measures 1 5/8" x 3" x  1/4". It is indeed tasty.
