Re: Alaska woman attacked by bear while using toilet

I thought bears pooped in the woods.

Holiday in a yurt out in the wilds somewhere. Basic outdoor loo. Bear involved with $hit in the woods.

Paints a pretty picture.

Re: Alaska woman attacked by bear while using toilet

I think pooping in the wild is asking for trouble....I remember camping in France once, woke to find a complete stranger next to me at the side of the tent, he could have done a lot worse than that though, when you think about it....however,I was able to tell the tale.

Re: Alaska woman attacked by bear while using toilet

The mistake here was that these people stayed in a yurt.

The first rule of camping, glamping, or whatever in Alaska is to never, ever stay in a tent, yurt, or any shelter that has soft sides that can be penetrated or omit cooking or other odors attractive to bears.

An outhouse is literally a no go .

You have to be constantly vigilant and assume that there are bears everywhere. You never go anywhere without making a whole lot of racket so you scare them off in the first place, carry bear mace always, and check out your surroundings.

I don't know what they were thinking.

I agree. It is also commonplace to erect an electric fence around the whole of the site, bringing everything inside it, including the latrines.

If a place doesn't have 24/7 room service we don't go.

At least not any more!
