            As long as the bear doesnt eat my meat, I'll be happy.

            The only heat I'm packin is in my pants. And its only a single shooter

                    Sarah, you don't weigh very much so you wouldn't even be a snack.

                    Last year I didn't see any bears.

                      steaks, and bears are both cool. if we are going to be in the "out back" we may as well get the full experience. generally bears dont want people. they will just go after their food. in a p[lace like this, i expect these bears are relatively civilized, and know what a cooler looks like
                      everything will be just fine. we arent the first campers here.lol

                        <-- never seen a bear before, but that's encouraging news.

                        rick has also assured me it would be fine ... but still expect me to freak out! LOL

                            Yes, many bears do know what a cooler looks like, and what they are used for. It is not uncommon to hear about bears literally breaking into cars to get at the coolers (they rip the doors off).

                            I have had several encounters with bears in the back country, they are generally pretty easy to get rid of (even for a short fat guy like me). Just be prepared to make noise on short notice (yell at them, kick dirt and rocks, wave your arms around over your head, and basically act like a lunatic---should be natural for some of us ), and they generally go away.

                            Anytime I am in bear country, I always cover my cooler with a blanket so it doesn't look so much like a cooler, and store anything that "smells" (soap, toothpaste, sunscreen, food, etc) in a "bear can" (available in the backpacking section of most large sporting goods stores) away from camp. Also, I leave duffle bags, back packs etc with all the pockets open--if a bear wants in, they will get in. If you leave it open, there is a greater chance that the bag won't get torn apart while the bear goes through it.
                            olllllllo <--- If you can read that, roll me over!

                            Price is soon forgotton, quality is not.

                              FYI, if you do encounter a bear don't turn your back to walk (or run) away. It will be less likely to charge if you are facing it. just my $.02
