I might do a one-night shakedown in late November ... I'll let you know when as I'd get a kick out of seeing you pee yourself.
Yeah, I've already stated I'm not in bear country. So I guess leaving food in my pannier to bring in the tent with me is OK then.
I suppose the only issue is if I leave my campsite/bike/tent for a while to go shower or scope out the area, especially if I will not return until after dark, when all the critters come out. If I leave camp for a while, then what do you suggest I do about food?
