[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going car camping in Maryland this weekend. I'm from the west coast so I don't know a ton about bear protocol around here. I normally do back country camping and use a bear canister or, if I'm in an area not known for aggressive bears, hang the food. But since this is car camping with a group, we'll have a large cooler that would be a huge PITA to hang. My initial thought was to just leave the cooler on the edge of the campsite so that if a bear does come by, it doesn't destroy my car. The campground website advises leaving the food in the car trunk so its less likely to be detected. Maybe that makes sense around here, but would be a complete disaster in say, Yosemite. Anybody have thoughts on the correct approach? [b]Or is the likelihood of anything happening near zero to begin with?[/b] [/quote] This, bolded. You should be much more concerned with the possibility of lightning strike. [/quote]
