    How do you keep food safe from wildlife while camping? 🐻🍽️

    I’ve read all sorts of tips online but would love to hear what tricks or products you use to keep your food safe from curious critters while camping. Any personal stories or advice?

    I always use bear-proof canisters and hang food bags from a tree branch at least 12 feet off the ground and 6 feet away from the trunk. Also, keep your cooking area far from your sleeping area. Once, a raccoon raided our camp, but these tricks have kept our food safe ever since!

      When I go camping, I make sure to store all my food in sealed containers or coolers to keep it secure from curious critters like bears. βœ¨πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚πŸ‘Œ

        Store food in bear-resistant containers away from your campsite and cooking area, and dispose of food waste properly to minimize attracting wildlife. Clean cooking utensils and dishes immediately after use and store them securely to avoid lingering food odors.

          Hey! When I go camping, I always use a bear canister. It’s basically a tough container that bears can’t open. Also, hang your food in a tree if you can’t get a canister. And never keep food in your tent – that’s just asking for trouble. One time, a raccoon got into our cooler because we left it out. Learned my lesson the hard way! 🐻🍽️🚫
