Home Sweet Home at Outpost Camp. My REI Half Dome tent, Gregory Whitney pack with Grivel ice axe. I am sitting on a bear vault that is required for use by all 3-day backpackers. In the vault are all your food, drink mixes, medicines, toiletries, trash, etc. Anything with an aroma MUST be stored in these vaults. If you do not have one, the ranger will ask you to leave. By the way, the WAG bags must be stored in here as well. One must be careful not to pull the wrong pouch out for a midnight snack and add hot boiling water while stirring contents and sampling the goods in total darkness. Wouldn't be prudent.
