You pick them out after there burned, flatten them and throw them in
the trash. The fire gets rid of that tasty spam smell that cause a
bear to hang around a trash container.
The only bear I have ever shot was an adult bear that weighed about
120 lbs. It had a can stuck on it's tongue. The top of the can had
been opened with a churchkey. The bears tongue was swolen up like a
football. I killed it with one shot from a 22. It probably was more
than a day or two from dying. I went and confessed to a game warden
and told him where the bear was. No jail, no ticket.


Good deed BJ, going to give you another star...think that's * * * * * now.
No trash where I'm going, not many bears either, at least we didn't see
one last year, although we cooked the salmon we caught.
Might have to eat salmon for 9 days straight.

That wasn't clear in your post.

I'm thinking of bringing meats for our fishing trip in July.
Anyone use a vacuum food sealer?
-tom


I use a Tillia. Vacuum pack fish for the freezer. Works great. Keeps the
stuff very nice. The Halibut I got in Homer last July is still great shape.
Commercially vac packed and sealed. For a fishing trip, I would just use
the Baja Vacuum pack. Put the meat in a good Ziploc and submerge the bag
except for the top in water, forcing out the air. Then freeze. You are not
going to be storing the food for a long time and that is where the vacuum
pack excels.

Aw, now that's just so sweet...it's sorta like being the only guy at the
Playboy mansion on Playmate Wear-A-Down-Coat-and-Chastity-Belt
Night...with a blast furnace...and body odor...and a crate of rotten
squid juice, a 5kg. can of toxic waste, 10kg. of road-killed skunk, and
one rotten Trojan John Holmes pre-used in a gay porn video...

I'd offer that this might help, but, well, you know,

It's OK to burn a can to remove all the food and grease so
long as you take it out of the cold ashes the next morning
and pack it out with the rest of your garbage.


Indeed. I've camped a lot in bear country (pretty tame bears in most
of MN, though) and I always burn out my cans after opening them and
eating from them. Next morning, I dig through the ashes to find the
cans and lids and put them in the trash. This also lets me know the
fire is absolutely out. Out. Done. Dead. Caveat. If it's a
regular campground where I've got my fire, I use a stick rather than
my hands to dig. It's astounding what folks think is appropriate to
toss into a fire pit. Ugly, too, in a way that's often unsafe and /
or unsanitary.

My food, if I take more than I'll be eating in one night, goes in a
bear canister after being put in baggies.

Bear canisters remove all worries about anything larger than an insect
or a raindrop. Latter can be avoided by turning them upside down.
They make pretty good seating, too.

Now back to the original question: Yes, I've used a little cheap
vacuum packager. Works fine. Never took anything along camping,
though, as I use it for the freezer meats, and sometimes veggies.

Bill, I like that!
Understand the idea of forcing the air out of the Ziploc by submerging the
bag
in water....excellent! Tried to do a search, but coming up empty on the
Baja
Vacuum Pack. Is that a stainless steel vacuum jar?
thanks,

The Baja Vacuum Pack is what Jonathon Roldan of Baja calls the submerging of
the Ziploc.
