      they recently made a brown version to blend in better with surroundings, though the green does surprisingly blend in quite well with trees. The brown should be better with bugs being attracted to it. I would wait for a sale, prime day comes up soon but backcountry and rei frequently

    You guys do anything specific for bear safety?

    • @upstateoutside
      @upstateoutside  2 місяці тому

      It’s funny you mention that, we edited it out but I mention that “we don’t like to let bears know we consume any food, we let them believe we are fasting” lol. This particular campground has bear boxes which we usually just store our grill and cooktop in. This is the only campground that has the boxes, there used to be a dump where bears would eat. Anyways, Our food is stored inside the truck. We clean up right after meals and don’t let things linger around. We keep a very tidy campsite and make sure we aren’t leaving any food scraps, chips, lying on the ground. (Tough with kids)! We wipe everything down before we go to bed. We did have a bear come through our site at about 6am while I was cooking breakfast, I didn’t even notice it until our neighboring camper mentioned it. It just moved along down the road. All they want is food, so that’s our #1 priority. I’ve watched nearly all safety videos for bears so I feel fairly confident should we ever encounter one, I do have bear spray. We do NOT camp in brown bear country, just black bears. Haven’t built up the courage to do that. Keep a clean site and you shouldn’t have any problems.

      @@upstateoutside Awesome, thanks for the great tips. I just recently got a pop up tent camper and took it out with my two younger children on our second trip. I wasn’t really thinking about it because it was a popular campground but we had a black bear pull the ice chest right out of the back of my truck bed at 4am. Mine and my son’s heads were about 4ft away from the bear when I heard him. Needless to say, I’ve never been so scared, lol. First encounter with a bear, but after doing some reading, my guess is the bear has had prior experience with seeing ice chests in vehicles and he’s scored before in this campground. Trying to do my due diligence to be prepared next time. Bear spray is definitely on the list, and keeping the ice chest in the truck and covered up. I have a soft truck bed cover and I almost closed the tailgate that night, but I’m sure the bear would have ripped that thing open to get to the ice chest. Guess I’m lucky I left it open.

    • @upstateoutside
      @upstateoutside  2 місяці тому

      @@Levi-xg1fzwow! I can imagine that was a scary experience for sure! I think bears are actually more prevalent in popular campgrounds because they know humans are there, and when humans are there, food is there. Bears typically return to a place they find food, so if the camper before you left food out, the bear could have been returning for that reason. Bears usually want an “easy” meal, I don’t necessarily think they would bother your soft sided tonneau cover even if coolers were under it. They 100% associate coolers with food and because your tailgate was open he probably thought it was an easy meal. They are powerful animals that deserve respect, but with a little planning and tidying up, you should never have a problem. I’ve also read the pinesol is a deterrent for bears, which always puzzled me because they live amongst pine trees but I am guilty of spraying some around my truck our first few times in bear country haha
