I was amused to read about the bear Yellow Yellow’s ability to break into the BearVault 500.
When doing outdoor photography it is very important to know the bear-proof rules for your area. For instance, when I last hiked Tahoe, it was okay to use a bear-bag—a canvas bag that you throw up into the trees and anchor by tying to a tree. But in Yosemite and Mount Whitney, this is a big no-no as bears long ago figured out how to pull down a bear bag, you have to use a bear proof canister.

Luckily, all campsites at Yosemite have food lockers to protect your stuff.
