Libro de Respuestas de Especialidades JA/Campamento/Almacenar comida

La cosa más importante que debe recordar sobre el almacenamiento de los alimentos en un campamento es que nunca deben ser almacenados en una tienda de campaña donde la gente va a dormir. Animales sí olerán la comida y sí encontrarán la forma de entrar. En su lugar, guarde la comida fuera de la tienda.

If you have a vehicle available at your campsite, you may store the food inside, but be sure to seal it tightly. A determined bear can get inside a locked vehicle, and if he decides that's what he wants to do, the car will sustain heavy damage. On the other end of the animal spectrum, are mice, which can also enter a locked car - even the trunk. It is therefore important to seal the food tightly so that the aroma does not draw unwanted attention from unwanted visitors.

If you do not have a vehicle or a trailer in which to store your food, you may place it in a bag and suspend it at least 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground by tying the bag to a rope and hanging it over a tree branch. Black bears can and do climb trees, so make sure the bag is well out of their reach - away from the trunk, and at least 4 feet (1.2 m) below the branch from which it is suspended.
