as Simimike's casually alluded to.....rallies that involve XPMarc(Gandalph the Grey)are the best to attend because you not only have a professional chef at your disposal but you don't even have to worry about the trash you generate. The XP has so much storage that Marc probably still hasn't discovered all the trash that he has been luggin around since the Warner's

If you are camping where you have bear problems, like Yosemite, please use the bear proof bear storage units provided. All good ideas everyone, just remember, a fed bear, is a dead bear. Once they get a taste of human garbage, they become habituated to people food, and they can become unafraid. Keeping everything clean and picked up is the proper way to camp. You never want to leave your trash unattended, that is an invitation for problems. Keep'em wild and welcome.

Well said Skeeter.......an idiot was just responsible for a bear here getting the death sentence. Cooler left outside, then he wanted to fight the bear for it to get it back. It took 26 stitches to button up the guy's face. The idiot should have been cited. He wasn't. People thought he had paid enough of a price. I don't think so. Oh, he fired his 45 in a crowded campground before the bear swatted it away. Didn't hit the bear. Yes, I think he should have been cited for firing a weapon inside a campground too..

holy smokes! he pulled out the pistole' , got off one round, and missed after presenting bait?

Gave the wrong one the death sentance.

Perhaps the "Trasharoo" has an application here? I don't know that I'd want it hanging against the back of the camper, but if there is other structure that it could be hung on then it might be viable.

The "trasharoo" seems like a solution in search of a problem to me...

I agree. The Gene pool would be better with his removal.

Enough of those with swing-away spare tire carriers (Jeeps, etc.) have bought them for the design to be on it's second generation. I just didn't know if it were adaptable here or not.

I have a trasharoo on my Jeep. Love it. Since I cook outside I clean outside too.

Cans are better than bottles for traveling, but until they start canning my favorite brews, I'll just deal with the trash. For a week, weekender I never find trash to be a problem.

Been camping my whole life and really, bears have never been a problem. If you're in a campground with bear boxes you absolutely have to use them. Keep a clean camp, yes, but you don't have to go overboard. Ammonia is definitely overboard. Realize if a bear wants in your food it will, just consider it a donation to the wildlife. Plastic containers not only keep odors down, make organization a lot nicer, but they'll keep your real food thieves away--the chipmunks, squirrels, birds, bees, ants etc. Thats what you really need to watch out for. They don't care if you're sitting six feet away, if you aren't watching they'r enjoying the buffet.
