Critters

How do you keep things like raccoons, squirrels and other pesky creatures from getting into your camping stuff?

[fbird]

depends on the area. most of the time the food and cooking supplies are in bins that go into the van at night. last year we had stale marshmallows that were left out by mistake. the coons toke them off the sight and left them, they couldn't even eat'em

Oh that's funny about the raccoons and marshmallows. We usually keep everything in a bin or cooler and keep it locked or put it in the car.

Haha. I keep everything in an bin and keep it in a safe and secure place at the tent, or in my vehicle. Bye Bye marshwallows.

Burn uneaten food in the fire and put any garbage away in a vehicle too. I love using rubbermaid bins of various sizes to store everything, we put the food bins away too. One year a wrapper with crumbs left out had skunks raiding our camp but they couldn't get to the food so they gave up.
