They pop the door like we would a can of Bud. I don’t personally know of any bears breaking into a TT, I have seen them get into cars. Just keep a clean camp and follow the same practices you would in any bear country. It’s been quite a few years since I boondocked in the national forests in that area, but I did it in a PU. I wouldn't be concerned but would follow normal bear-country protocol on food storage. I have seen a grizzly up close only once, and I had to so looking for her. One bear wandered by our rig in Fishing Bridge, and a family of coyotes had a den 80' away. But they normally don't bother 'hard-sided' rigs. They are up towards the north-east end and spend a lot of time on higher slopes eating one of their favourite shrubs/berries (according to a ranger).īlack bears could be a bother, check Yellowstone website on safeguards re garbage, outside food or BBQ etc. Grizzlies are still pretty rare in Yellowstone. 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single list.'

So here is my question - for those of you who have boondocked in this area, is there a problem with bears breaking into trailers and cars? Are the bears more likely to be a problem when we are outside of an established campground? (My guess is that they congregate more around campgrounds, because that's where the food is.)Ģ012 Fun Finder X-139 'Boondock Style' (axle-flipped and extra insulation)Ģ013 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road (semi-beefy tires and components) We try to be bear-aware and bear-safe, but California bears are much smaller than Wyoming grizzlies.
