No, the food returned to the tents and went back to sleep.

The scent of the food was still in the tent.

Should have packed up and left, or at least start a campfire. Can always get some sleep the next night.

Sounds like they did things right…they had had food in their tents and removed it after the bear’s first visit, and in any case, they were camping practically in town.

Wrong. Food should have never been in the tent. All they did was remove the food but forgot to tell the bear.

They took food out of their tents, secured it and went back to sleep, they said.

Hmmm, doesn't sound like they removed the food smell from their tents...

play stupid games, win stupid prizes. “Survival of the fittest” aka “the process of natural selection”... Unfortunately from the age, the gene pool may have still been tainted. The previous comment is meant in NO WAY to assert a belief in darwin’s theory of evolution!

If they didn’t have at least a .44 magnum with them, they weren’t doing it right.

No, in grizzly country, no food EVER in tents, not for any reason or length of time. I mean never.

‘’140 years ago these people would have thought camping out in Apache country was cool’’.

Yeah. And wagon training through high, snowy mountain passes in the dead of winter too.

First mistake - food in the tent or even close to their camp.

Second mistake - Going back into a tent with food smells - and not realizing that they also were food.

They should have loaded up and moved on. Or at least built a fire and taken turns at watch - provided they had a rifle with enough power to take down a bear. SMH.

It’s a person of that name, in CA and same age. Arrested for stuff. I assume it’s her.

Per another FReeper who knows, unreported fact:
90% of bear attacks are on menstruating women.

(Official reports say so, but news never mentions it.)

Grizzly come around my tent. Yeh I’ll be able to lay back down and go to sleep. 🙄
