So there are kind of a few different scenarios being discussed I think.
Let's say that you're going hiking. You drive to the trail head and set out from there on foot. I agree. Never leave food in an unattended vehicle.
Let's say that you're overlanding in your Skookum little rig with an rtt...

Having said that precautions still need to be made. Seal food in the cooler, in bags and dry boxes etc. Don't leave a dirty camp. Don't dump your food leavings around camp and don't dump dish soap, toothpaste etc close to sleeping quarters and they'll...
I'll be in Kelowna, BC a couple of times this summer visiting my brother. You can run some single track with us July 8/9, or run the whipsaw trail with us on Aug 12/13. I'll be doing the Whipsaw in my Tundra with a few Jeeps. They like to make me lead. I like to think it's because of my...
