Oooooh!

Erm ...

We only once camped in bear country, and they provided bear boxes at the campsites. I moved all our "attractive" stuff over to the bear box. I didn't want a bear to decide to breach our canvas pop-top, especially since I was sleeping within a few inches of it.

Anyone have any estimate of what's "safe" versus what's "paranoid"? I'd really like to go happily back up into bear country (California's Sierras ... among the most glorious parts of this earth that I've ever seen!!! :-D)

(Just becuz yer paranoid duzn't mean they're not out to get ya!!!)
