2018 Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS

Next time you'll remember to secure your food so bears are not tempted. I'm afraid of bears. I'd rather they not come around. So gotta keep the food out of reach.

 

There still tempted, they just pissed they can't get it all tied up.

One yr, got into one of my gear boxes and bit into my mosquito spray, was pissed and broke into someone else's ride, broke the window for some bread.

 

X2.

If I can, I actually secure my food in locked up, air-tight containers and tie them to a tree base or something 50 feet or so from my camp. I never keep food out next to my tent. Terrified of a bear or two coming up to my tent while I'm sleeping.

 

i hear @DannyBFresco knows about bear protection with his cooler.

 

Just got my popcorn. What’s the story........?

 

Lol nothing interesting. I just get shit all the time for locking my Ozark Trail "bear resistant" cooler at night with a padlock cuz I'm scared of bears...

 

Better safe than sorry brotha

 

Hmmm...is bear resistant to bear proof as water resistant is to water proof?

 

Lol true! I don't mind the jokes. At least my food will be safe suckas

 

Certified brah:

"Certified bear-resistant
Just in case you run into any trouble, this cooler has been tested by the USDA’s Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee and certified bear-resistant."

 

its ok, im afraid of bears too. I just hide behind you and bring up your situation to hide my own

 

I've had good luck with yelling at them and banging pots and pans.

I almost walking into this one. Scared the shit outta me.

 

I love bears, just don't want to have any close encounters with them. Plus, when I'm asleep at camp I'm dead to the world because booze. The padlock helps me sleep better too lol

 

The padlock is a great idea. If more people secured their food the bears would learn and would be less willing to investigate.

Allegedly when bears see these, depending on where you are, they just keep walking. I have one for backpacking and love it. It's the smaller one. It fits enough food for a couple days and it works well as a seat. I kinda want to get the bigger one.

I would be worried that the fucker would drink my beer

 

That’s this jerk.

 

This. 14 years of backpacking with one in some active bear areas. Never once has it been touched. Right now it has 7 days worth of food and 22oz. of 151 in it.

You should do all can to keep your food from bears. Safe food and drink storage is the best thing. Also, if they do come around,holler, bang pots, throw rocks... anything to make them learn that humans are not a source of food and that we are scary.

 

Yup, a fed bear is a dead bear.

 

How does one do that when no bear lockers at camp. Truck was parked in over flow. I could of tied it to a tree but bears can climb.
Next time I'm just going to place food in neighboring camp site. Lol
