Hiker (not verified)
Very lucky lady to have survived a mauling and I wish her the best in her recovery. Having backpacked in Yellowstone and Glacier NP's several times I am puzzled about the "food Tent" being in the same close area as their sleeping tents. Is this common in Alaska or at long term camps to establish the food prep and storage tent in the same camp as sleeping tents? Or is this a giant mistake in grizzily bear safety protacal. We always maintained the minimum 100 yard triagle for sleeping, storage and prep when in grizzly country much to the "do we have to" whines of some fellow campers. Curious if anyone with Alaska experience can respond.
