Q-Dave likes to tell the story about 2 Newbies ( to the Q) who rented all their gear from him for a basecamp fishing trip on Quetico Lk. Dave had just bought a new 4-man Eureka A-frame outfitter tent they took along. He went into detail about keeping a clean camp. Hanging their food pack away from camp, cleaning fish and not bringing food into their tent at night.

2nd day he gets a call from Ranger Station on BH to come and pick his party, they had a bear come into camp 1st night and were ALL done.

When he picked them up they were still freaking out. Seems they were in their tent playing some cards after the mosquito's came out. Heard some guttural growls and suddenly the tent roof was ripped open and a big bear’s head poked in! They starting screaming and the startled bear took off.

The rest of the night was spent huddling around their campfire. At first light they didn’t even pack up, just threw everything in canoe. Dave asked them IF they had done something to attract the bear into camp. They insisted they did everything he told them too. Just about then, Dave sees a plastic tail protruding from one of the guys’ shirt pocket. Turns out they were using Gulp for the 1st time and apparently didn't realize how strong that scent is to a bear’s sensitive nose. Dave told them that’s why the bear tore into tent.
He managed to repair the tent, but the guys never came back.

I make sure I don’t have any plastics in my shirt/jacket pockets, unscented or not because I think ALL plastics, especially when new have a “scent” that humans might not smell, but a bear could. Funny story, but it could of ended very badly IF that bear hadn't decided to cut and run.
