I canoe with coolers form time to time in bear country
I will bring a hard side. I have put them up as a bear bag
at times just left them out. I was thinking of getting two ratchet
straps and locking them down and leave them out with my bear Cans.
I use a bear can most times and some times a bear bag set up
I know they make a Yeti cooler that is bear proof but don't want to pay the price of one
What do you think of ratchet straps? What do you folks do with coolers in the back country.
