What's wrong with the woods?

Mosquitos. Poison ivy.

If he is growing his own food - a variety of animals will be eating the veggies. Rabbits, cabbage moths (evil bastards), groundhogs, raccoons...

Cabbage moths are the worst... The other things seem pretty avoidable though...
I guess the other animals there's strategies to deal with them.

Poison ivy sneaks up on you. Young plants can be hard to see, and if you're like me, you won't know you've been exposed for a few days... And then it's ALL OVER.
