Title: Re: More on bears and barrels Post by Preacher on Oct 31st, 2011 at 2:42pm
I find people are looking for a single fail-safe guarantee on bearproofing. That just doesn't exist. Our best bet is to follow the same guidelines that have been around for years. Keep a clean camp. Control smells. Make food difficult for critters to get to.
Some decide that a single failure invalidates the guidelines. There are no guarantees. Barrels can help, but there is no guarantee. I've seen pictures of them ripped open. I do hear that olive barrels & the titanium bear vault are the best protection. |
