So my normal when camping out of the jeep is to keep all my food locked up in the jeep at night with the windows up, but this year I am going with half doors on the front.

What do the rest of you with no doors or half doors do to keep the critters and bears away? Or is it not a problem? :dunno:
 
ill be up late Thursday morning. ill be trailering my rig this year and bringing my 8yr old since she doesn't start school till the next Monday. hopefully there will be a camp spot to park my truck and trailer since it was packed last year with barely any room for just my jeep by the time we got up there.
