So I know the general rule, you don't cook in camp/tent etc but here is a question. Does anyone cook their dinner before making camp for the night? For instance stop an hr early or a mile or so before ur planning to stop for the night.... cook eat then walk off the smells/and itis while ur at it.
I was reading the story about the kid who got pulled from his hammock and one of the questions that came up was "I wonder if they slept in the clothes they cooked in?" ... so it just made me think walking off the smells and distancing ur self from the cooking spot couldn't hurt... or is this just pure overkill coming from someone who spends much more time in alligator backcountry(s.fl, even tho central and n.fl have the largest black bears in the country because they don't hibernate down here ) then bear country?
