kengrAnyone have any idea how long it'd take dead body to skeltonize in temperate forest/brush? Assume some place like Spokane, or between Portland and Mt Hood.
Clothing something like military BDUs (except tougher) and in thick brush so nothing larger than a fox can get at it.
I'm looking for something like a year, several years, longer.
A semi related thought has to do with someone in Full MOPP gear. Died from some internal cause (say heatstroke) so the gear is intact. I'm pretty sure the result eventually be human soup with bones. Not something *I* would want to have to deal with... ewww.
