Bears can smell stuff thats buried, so you'd have to cover it with rocks. Also a lot of the places I camp (but not all places and not every one is in this situation) have only minimal amounts of soil which can be dug up to bury food. I'm not too inclined to bring a pick axe to chisel through Canadian Shield granite to bury my stuff so I'm probably going to continue to hang my food. Just gotta hang it high enough and further away from a tree than a bear can reach, and like 97% of the time that is sufficient

Give it a few decades and we'll all be eating this as our sole source of protein (along with crickets) unless you are ultra rich.

I just stay out of places bears live. They got no business with me nor I with them and I've never once had my food stolen by a bear as a result

I bring a bear lockbox camping with me. You lock the bear in it, you leave your food out. It's very simple and really approaches the problem from a new angle

The PCT hang is irresponsible because tired people who think no one is looking or nothing happened so nothing is wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVyDzDtU5-U tldr bears are smart, and will get used to finding possible food near poorly hung bags, and the bear population grows more brazen next year.

I’m guessing it was a shallow recently buried farm animal and a rainstorm wash away the topsoil?

Ours may even buy you dinner but a whole lot of them have chlamydia so I guess it comes out in the wash.

I love how the snake is clearly avoiding and moving away from the humans, and had almost made it to the safety of the trees on the shore, then this dipshit grabs it and flings it back toward the water from whence it is clearly trying to leave (and also flings it directly into people, but he was pretty clearly oblivious to that part).

I kinda regret searching for that & I was unaware tapeworms were such a huge issue for salmon-eating bears. That is far from the only video of gross huge tapeworms hanging out a bear's butt.

All meat is basically gory My sister and I basically said the same thing the first time we saw that scene. There's theories that the reason we like to eat crunchy things like potato chips is because our ancestors used to chow down on bugs to the point it became an evolutionary advantage

I'm fortunate that I live in a place where most of our backcountry camping is in designated sites in parks and protected areas, and nearly all of those sites have bear-proof storage lockers installed, with ample storage even when the campground is full. Plus outhouses and tent pads. It's pretty bougie up here.

Dick Fontaine posted:worms are a problem for salmon-eating everything This is why they hard freeze fish, even fish sold unfrozen, has usually been previously hard frozen. Salmon has so many worms and nematodes in it. If you ever see little circles or white lines in a salmon fillet those are nematodes. Generally one won’t see the tapeworm eggs.
