Bears?

Scott....you read me wrong. I am not suggesting that people in hard sided RV's are lazy, we have one. What I am saying is that if you think you are safer in a hard sided unit then you may think because you are safer then it is easier to let things slide as far as keeping things secure. There are people who camp in all types of RV's or canvas that are not as tidy.

We have been told by our park superintendents that bear spray is to be used as I had posted. I would find it hard to aim and hit a charging bear in the face with spray at 25'.

I guess we all will learn different ideas from different people. I can only go by what we have been taught.

I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone and if I did I am sorry. Because we live in an area where bears are present it is something we take seriously. I have seen the devestation to RV's as well as the worse, how easily a life can end by bears.

Sorry for the tone Lou, no offense taken. If you can find a video of a can being used it might surprise you how big a cloud it makes. It basically envelopes the bear.
Frankly, if it was trying to get into my trailer I'd pop him a few times with a firearm - but that's probably a different discussion..
