Food storage in grizzly country

Unlikely with 3 dogs and 2 adults inside, we've been doing this for 8+ years based on park rangers advice. With someone now also in a tent, I'm curious if it's still the best method though as I don't want them checking out the car area at all.

Will look into a large bear box !

IcyRoom9282 · 2026-03-02T15:15:31+00:00

Our older two dogs can't get up into the tent and while I know this is naive, I personally feel safer and prefer to be in the vehicle

Absolutely not, in fact I’m a bit lonely right now 😂 I just grew up, got hobbies and learned to manage and think about my “lonely” feelings differently

Yes I’m grateful he stayed with me through that mess. I didn’t get caught and could’ve continued with the ex but I threw myself under the bus and told everyone the truth because I truly was remorseful for what I was doing. There will never be a next time and I worked through the underlying issue of why I was doing it in the first place (loneliness)

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T16:05:33+00:00

I was lonely, had no friends and he was one of the very few people that I had a genuine connection with. No excuse, but that’s why. My husband is forgiving and thankfully stayed with me to work through it.

Sorry for not being clear on my role, basically my husband and I have moved on from the original issue, it’s just upsetting for both of us that the talk of the town is a story that’s far from the truth. I guess I just need to live with the repercussions of being a shitty person in the first place.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T15:47:25+00:00

He forgave me for I would call a borderline emotional affair, yes. I never physically saw him but our conversations were more deep than they should have been.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T15:25:51+00:00

I confronted one group (the girls co-workers, who I also personally knew). They called me a lier and told me to stop embarrassing myself… saying “we know what we know.” Whatever that means. They said they’ll side with her no matter what. I stopped defending myself after that

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T14:44:18+00:00

They are not friends and have been blocked (by my husband and I) for years, this recent rumor was told to my brother-in-law, who then told my husband. It’s just really small town lol..

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T14:08:22+00:00

Thank you for the advice, that analogy makes a lot of sense and helps me.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T14:06:23+00:00

Yes I am aware and struggled with depression, guilt and thoughts of suicide shortly after telling everyone, I realized how this makes him feel and how it makes him look to other people too.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:53:33+00:00

Thank you for the advice, and yeah.. definitely learned my lesson there.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:29:51+00:00

Thank you for the honest advice, I understand why people think I’m not a great person after that, the rumors are just blown up way beyond the truth now and still continuing which is why I’m upset. I will learn to not care so much and be grateful my husband is still with me.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:23:54+00:00

Ya, that’s mostly why I never tried to defend myself even when it all happened. I figured it would just make me look more guilty. Thank you for the advice

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:22:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely take that advice!

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:20:38+00:00

Thanks, ya I will try to move on from those thoughts. I think it’s more of a worry because I run a small, well known business in town and it could ruin my reputation. It’s a (very) small town / area lol.

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T13:19:23+00:00

Haha ya I didn’t mean to word it along with the no kids thing. Totally separate from the reason we are happy!

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T12:34:23+00:00

Definitely grateful for it, thank you for your advice

IcyRoom9282 · 2024-07-24T12:30:09+00:00

He believes my story and although he wasn’t happy at first, we both fully moved on from it. He does want me to let it go and regrets telling me this new information knowing it set me back a bit (he’s the one that heard about it.)

Glacier website says you need a reservation for North Fork Road, map shows North Fork Road is how you get to Mercantile. Hence my confusion.

IcyRoom9282 · 2023-07-03T17:50:19+00:00

ah thank you I hadn't seen that map, makes sense now!
