humiliation ritual
>>2868900Nah bear cans are good. Do you want a bear stealing your food while you are days out into a backpacking trip?
>>2868901i just rent airbnbssometimes bears or yotes or something will fuck up your outdoor trash can if there's not a secure lidhey hosts if you host a property in fucking rural ohio can you add a secure chain link lid or something instead of just plastic flimsy so I don't get woken up at midnight by eager bears THANX
>>2868901i carry a gun and sleep light
>>2868902there are no bears in ohio
>>2868901How is it better than a hang bag?
>>2868910I beg to differ.
>>2868911Its not.
>>2868910then who was attacking my pizza box at midnight?
>>2868911>>2868917you don't need to know how to tie knots I guess
>>2868919If you can't tie paracord to a carabiner you probably shouldn't be allowed to be outside or drive or vote.
>>2868939black bears can climb trees
>>2868906retarded larp>>2868911There are many places where you can't hang a bag.
>>2868901>Do you want a bear stealing your foodfpbp. i don't even want a bear playing with my bear canister. this season i'm using a nylofume pack liner in the bear canister. i've been invisible to humans since 2024, now i wanna camp invisible to bears and vermin>>2868939>>2868942they can also undo knots and cut ropes. it's basically a retarded child with 100x retard strength, that can smell dank calories like butter and oil from literally miles away, and is constantly hunting for them
>>2868911NTA but from what I’ve read online in some of the popular destinations bears have figured out how to get at hang bags so they don’t work anymore. And you also don’t need a tree for a bear can
>>2868901just carry a gun and shoot them
>>2868910>
>>2868973>invisible to humans since 2024please share some tips, I like being invisible too
>>2868982that's not very nice. how would you feel if a bear did that to you?
>>2868911The forest jannies said so.
>>2868911What if there are no trees big enough?
>>2868943>many places where you can't hang a bag.>>2869026Do bears live there?
>>2868900I too love waking up to bear and wild animals clawing at my tent. Retard larp thread as usual
>>2869028>Do bears live there?In the alpine? Yes.
>>2868914KEK
>>2868900Struggling with rope is the humiliation ritual.
I'm glad that my ancestors have genocided the past bear population where I live
>>2869032>not practicing the bear trianglesomeone doesn’t go outside
>>2868995it's not hard to be invisible to humans. my default color is olive drab, i camp off trail, and use a red headlamp at night. smell invisibility is this year's project>>2869017it's honestly so much easier to just put everything that smells in a bear canister and call it good. i bought one for the eclipse cuz it happened during hibernation wakeup in black bear country, and now i never have to think about some faggot mouse chewing a hole through my fancy bags, or leaving them open to prevent that and then it rains overnight
>>2869028In the desert, the alpine, the chaparral, the scrubland, yes there are bears. There are also plenty of forests or woods without trees big enough. NPS requirements in the sierra national parks are I think a branch at least 10ft long at least 20ft up. That can be hard to find
>>2869090had to read the thread to get the joke because to my knowledge only americans use those bear bags/jars or something you hang to a tree long away from your campsiteapparently in my country bears have finally started leaving forests and come look for food into urban areas and now everyone is freaking outthey say we have a fuckton of bears but ive never even seen one
>>2868900Useless against east coast bears FYI
>>2868939neither of these things existed 100 years ago suburban-kun
>>2868902>i just rent airbnbsSo you don't go /out/. Why do you think your opinion matters?
>>2869477They had modern carabiners in the 19th century
>>2868982I would really rather psychologically scar the bear than kill it. What if I pin it and just rape the living shit out of that bear? I mean, I'll still have a gun because you never know when you might have no choice but to turn that rape into a murder. Happens all the time.
>>2869010Well if you do my thing and rape the shit outta that bear, then, yes. A lot of people might like it.
>>2869033>alpine >don't see any pines
>>2868900If bears are THIS much of a common problem, seems like it might be time for the hunters to step in...
>>2871370it's about calibrating your senses to nature. humans are the loudest scent that reeks of extremely high calorie dense food, so you don't want bullshit animals like mice, squirrels, coons, etc., chewing through your shit to eat your lip balm or toothpaste, it's best to take smell-proofing your site seriously. we can't smell it nearly as much so it makes sense to put everything into a fumigation bag, inside of a hard plastic container that requires a two-digit IQ to open.
>>2871370>too many people visit a place and store food poorly and leave food trash>bears be bears and forage and scavenge and find human food>bears develop habits to look for human camps for food>human-bear food encounters increase>this is the bears' fault and they must be killed
