Follow the "Triangle of Safety" rule (or "Bear-muda Triangle"). Set up your cooking area, sleeping area, and food storage area at least 100 yards (300 feet) apart from each other in a triangle shape. This ensures that if a bear is attracted to food smells, it is not led directly to your tent where you sleep.
Use the Three-Bucket System to sanitize dishes without polluting water sources.
- Wash Pot: Warm water with biodegradable soap.
- Rinse Pot: Clean, hot water to remove soap.
- Sanitize Pot: Cool water with a few drops of bleach or sanitizing tablets.
- Disposal: Strain out food scraps (pack them out) and "broadcast" the greywater 200 feet away from any lake or stream.
Liquid fuel (White Gas) is the standard for expeditions and cold weather. Unlike canister gas (isobutane), liquid fuel does not lose pressure in freezing temperatures and is more economical for long trips. However, for short summer trips, canister stoves are lighter and easier to use.
Build a "Chuck Box" (or grab-and-go bin) that holds all your cooking essentials permanently. This box should contain your stove, fuel, spices, utensils, and cleanup kit. Keeping this kit pre-packed prevents the common mistake of forgetting small but critical items like a lighter, can opener, or salt.
