Had a grizz cut a stone sheep hunt short this season. Came into camp when we were up the hill for the day and decided to wreck what he could. Destroyed a tipi, tent, 2 air mattresses, 1 sleeping bag, chair, took off with all our food bags that were hanging 15 ft up on a meat pole. Also drank a bottle of whisky for good measure.

Curious what is on the market now days to set up that is fairly light. Not sure I would pack it up the hill when I bivy out but would be good piece of mind coming back to my food stash half way through a trip knowing it’s still intact. Planning on going back to the same place and don’t want a repeat performance. Electric fence the way to go? Also seen some trip wire bear banger looking units for sale but never seen any reviews.
