I am wondering how many of you have had a bear attempt entry into your tent/tarp/hammock in an aggressive manner (as we are so often warned about)?


In over 60 years of backpacking in bear country, I have never had a bear try to get food in a tent with people in it. Moreover, I have never been near such a thing in all those years and I have been around some pretty sloppy campers. I am not saying it does not happen but I have never been around when it has. Personally, I don't keep food in my tent but I am sure that I carry food odors with me, especially when I have been out for a while; I just don't think bears are drawn to mixed human/food odors, even in the Sierra.
