Craig Medred: Getting it right
As the National Park Service notes, “bears have an insatiable appetite and an amazing sense of smell, and they consider anything with a scent to be ‘food.’ This can include canned goods, bottles, drinks, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, trash, ice chests, sunscreen, bug repellant, fuel, items used for preparing or eating meals….”

Bears have been regularly known to bite into tin cans to get at the food inside. It’s near impossible to believe a bear would spend days harassing Jessee in a cabin without finding Jessee’s food and ripping into it.
