Common Sense Camping
Thursday February 22, 2007
Food cooking/eating/storage - Cook food outdoors in designated areas, usually around the grill or campfire. Never cook in your tent. A small flame or spark can quickly put holes in a tent. Eat wherever you like at your campsite, but never eat in your tent. Critters will not hesitate to eat holes in your tent to get to food crumbs. Store all food in tight containers, preferably in the trunk of your car. If you leave your cooler out, put a rock or something heavy on top to keep critters out. Never leave food sitting out.

And don’t forget in bear country to especially take precautions! All food in vehicles or hung from high tree branches or bear-proof container. I have witnessed too many ripped tents and screen tent canopies and trashed picnic tables due to thoughtlessness while camping.
And another thing, don’t forget to bring your cell phones anytime anywhere. I had a bad experience in camping that’s why cell phones are very important, just in case of emergencies. Just switch it off when your boss tries to call you.
