Aug 13, 2016 at 16:26 | comment | added | user96551 | @Liam: Thanks...in hindsight, signalling does make more sense then keeping away predators... | |
Aug 13, 2016 at 16:25 | comment | added | user96551 | @OddDeer- Yes, it is for a fictional story and the title you suggest is more apt as it is more specific so I will change to that...Thanks | |

Aug 12, 2016 at 8:21 | comment | added | OddDeer | @Liam I've decided that I take the whole question as "how to generate white smoke in the wilderness?" The story around the smoke looks pretty much made up and - as the OP mentioned - fictional. I guess he's writing a story or something. | |

Aug 12, 2016 at 8:03 | comment | added | user2766 | What makes you think smoke is going to keep predators away? Where are you expecting to camp? What animals are you looking to deter? I would imagine much more effective deterents exist other than "smoke" | |
