Yeti Watch!


The Camp Minsi Ranger is advising all campers to be on the alert for yetis and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter with these rare and noble beasts of the Camp Minsi wilderness.

He advises all campers wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows the yetis to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them.

Campers should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a yeti is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the yeti's sensitive nose and it will run away.

It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh yeti scat so you have an idea if yetis are in the area. People should be able to recognize the difference between the Northern Canadian Yeti and Minsi Yeti scat.

Northern Canadian Yeti droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Minsi Yeti droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper.
