 Also, the residue on your fingers! |

I was camping in Sequoia National park (1960s) the same night as a moron who thought he could hide his porterhouse steak in the bottom of his sleeping bag at night and the bears wouldn’t find it. The moron lived; but he needed a new sleeping bag and tent.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's fine, OP. Leaves the good parts of the wilderness for the rest of us. Exactly. You’re more likely to get injured or killed in a car accident on the way to or from your activity than from a bear there. Yes you should carry something for bear defence, and wear your seatbelt. But be reasonable about your allocation of worry. |

“There’s no indication that they did anything to prompt the attack or did anything wrong,” Selinger told ADN. “It’s one of those where you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Invaded a bears living area? |

We should encourage democrats to spend more time in bear county, maybe give them extra food so they can stay out there longer.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's fine, OP. Leaves the good parts of the wilderness for the rest of us.  I guess if I had a good dog, or maybe could set up an early warning perimeter, I'd still consider it. But I have minimal interest in going anywhere overnight that doesn't allow motorized vehicles. Seriously, what are you supposed to do if you go backpacking in grizzly/brown bear country? (besides the obvious stuff like no food in the tent, of course) |

From the article :
"The big thing is being prepared as well as these folks were. You could get attacked in the Fred Meyer parking lot you're always in bear country here," Selinger told ADN. "Always have some medical equipment, maybe compression bandages and things you may not think of. And whenever you're going out, just be prepared in case something does happen have a plan of how to get back to safety or how to contact somebody." I'd love to know how you pack stuff that you didn't think of. |

I had a close encounter with a bear on a camping trip a long time ago. After seeing the bear walking through my camp site, I slept in the car that night.

The article says they don't know why it attacked but did they have food at the campsite and inside the tent?
I think even if they did they won't admit now . |

They should have brought more than just the bear necessities, although it doesn't sound like they had enough time to use it.

I'll hunt down the article, but read up on Tundra Grizzly (Barren Ground Grizzly?) and the couple that "did everything right".
Cooked 1 mile away. Had a perimeter wire with bells. Slept with a shotgun between them. Authorities found them partially consumed and the shotgun was left un-fired. #bearssuck #chicagobearssucktoo https://www.akfatal.net/Huffman%2006-25-05.htm |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder how hard it would be to rig a hammock 12 feet off the ground? Since it is kayak camping and not hiking, bring two 4000 lb rope hoists, 26.99 on amazon. A climbing belt and tree spikes. Climb the tree and put your slap straps on the tree at least 15 feet up. Attach a hoist to each slap strap. Attach your hammock to the hoist at head and feet. Start lifting yourself in the tree, alternating between head and feet. I need to try this! Now, in my many years of hammock camping, my night would go like this... Everything is set, start hoisting. Get set, all is good. Settle in for the night. 30 minutes later, lower myself to the ground to pee. Hoist back up. 2 hours later, lower myself to pee, tell buddies in their bear happy meal containers (tents), to stop bitching about the noise. Hoist back up, still yelling at buddies to shut up. Repeat as needed. As an added advantage, all the noise from the hoisting and bitching should keep the bears away. And remember to put food bag in a different tree. |

You also smell like meat, even without all those trappings. Also make sure to install your hypoallergenic REI butt plug before sleep. Bet a sleep fart would carry for miles and stick to damp tent walls. Farts smell like internal organs...those are the choice parts for predators. BTW, they prefer their Cheetos, burritos and M&Ms partially digested. |
