That fishing string camp alarm is a good thing.
I live amongst 7 grizzly's as of sept 2017. Be bear aware and have fun. They do actually fear you. Unless they have cubs and are on a killed moose. Then you are SOL. I still see bow hunters with no gun.
Alone nope!
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"
The one time we may use bear spray!
Thanks for the input to the guy that has walked the talk. Main reason I totally trust Gary Shelton.
-another grizz encounter story.
LT(LOVER 308 ) & I came across a huge grizz feeding on a freshly killed moose near Germansen Lake on a logging road about an hour before dark. Instead of charging the 2 guys in the VW he ran away as fast as a locomotive. LT had his 308 ready. We were headed for an old abandoned trapper's cabin not that far away. The cabin door was not very sturdy so we placed pebbles in empty cans attached to a string about 20 feet in front of the doorway & about a foot high. The bear decided to live.

Forgot to mention.
Don't count on campfire protection against a determined bear.

A bit sideways from the topic but it's about bears.
This article in The Vancouver Sun titled:
The horrific truth about the way our bears are managed
https://vancouversun.com/opinion/op-...rs-are-managed
Stupidity knows no limit, note the words "our bears" what?
The simple truth is the bear population is exploding, so no wonder the number of incidents are on the rise.

Sorry Srupp but the poor advice isn't coming from this end.
The amount of scent around camp, let alone your tent is huge. If a bear comes in, he's made the decision to check things out. Brushing your teeth outside your tent isn't stopping that.
As Bearvalley and Ourea have already said, if an attack does happen - it isn't playing out like these detailed pre-plans have been written.

"The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom."
Hmmm as said repeatadly..do what you want but advocating for food inside your tent for those new hunters seeking guidance is asking for problems..
...most times its the food..the only exception I can think about was on Kodiak island...professional guide and client attacked in the tent..the video was something along the lines of shootout at OK corral...no mention about food stuff present...
