DRIFTER_016 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 So you thought you would go out and get yourself a nice little camper as you like to camp but there are many bears in your area and you don't feel safe in a tent. Good thought, but it seems that nice little camper isn't much of a deterrent to a bear!!!!! They only seem safer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Mere walls are no match for a hungry, determined, super strong bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Beans 'n beer - that'll do it every time!

It was in Northern BC. Looks like the grizz was being territorial as it also destroyed his out house!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Was that in grizzly country? Or, was it just a black bear? Oops, I guess you answered my question while I was typing. Edited July 19, 2016 by JohnBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I had same exact trailer and it looked a LOT worse then that after a big wind storm hit it......nothing but the floor was left. Lucky no one was in it at the time. I really like that trailer too.........had great times in it while fishing and or hunting out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Looks like a bomb strike by Isis! Was it really a bear?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Was it really a bear?? Yes, No ISIS attacks in Northern BC as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pics Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Those trailers aren't built that sturdy.. even a black bear could get into one if they so desired.. I would imagine that food could be motivating factor..lol.. when I go moose hunting we stay in a converted car trailer which is much sturdier but if the bear was really determined it could get in.. good thing they are pretty much in bed by the time we go...

Mister G Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 In Yellowstone NP you are not allowed to camp in certain areas (known for grizzly bears) if you don't have a hard shell camper. And the park rangers are always walking the beat telling you to put away the camp stove and coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've seen the wreckage first hand. Camp owner stored bear bait in an empty cottage. Bear ripped right through the siding and wood, creating a hole big enough to climb in. He lived in there for a while until the camp owner went to pick up more bait for his bear stands and saw the mess. Not sure if that was the new rug in camp ?

G.mech Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Up near my friend's camp at Ramsey Lake a few years ago, there was two elderly guys sleeping in a trailer like that, A year old black bear tore the door right out of the wall in the middle of the night and came in for a visit. They managed to shoot it but momma bear wasn't far away and wasn't too happy apparently. The guys were rattled to say the least and spent the rest of the night hiding in their old station wagon up the road. We found them still hiding when we went out for a quad ride the next morning. The trailer was toast but I don't think it matters, they won't be camping any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
