Beats dumpster diving, except for the stealing part.

I lost a cloth bag from the El Cap bear boxes several years ago. The bag contained veggies, some cans, toothpaste/brush, etc. Not too big a deal, except that was my food for the weekend. The bag was there for only 1 day. It was off-season, so there were not too many other items around to choose from...

A few years ago, I stashed some food & beers in the Eagle Creek picnic area bear boxes while I was doing Waterfall route in a push. The push ended up taking something like 40 hours but I was surely looking forward to eating and drinking when I returned. After staggering back to the picnic area, I discovered that our supplies were gone. I had left a note with the date and such thinking that would do it. What a huge dissapointment! I seldom expect to ever find my food intact in a Yosemite bear box ever since. Kinda sucks.

A ranger prolly took it.

Had all supplies lifted out of the truck while we were 50 FEET away! Brand new Lowe Expedition packs Loaded! (Truck was even running! A wonder the thieves didn't just drive it away!?!)

I found and drank a budwieser once. Moments later my friend Alex came running down past me, yelling about how he was gonna get the bastard that stole his beer!

This is why I always take an old pair of whitey-tighties and smear chocolate all over the crotch, then place them right on top of my food bin. . .

^^That's just wrong...but effective, I am sure.

In Japan, we stashed our drugs in the dirty clothes.

I'm sure you could use something cheaper, and more readily available than chocolate. . . the smell alone might be enough to keep them away!
