Has anybody ever heard of a kayak being opened by a bear
looking for treats? The only banditry I have ever
experienced has been rodential or winged, so I sometimes
secure food below deck when good hanging trees are not
available.

I heard some time ago that this was a problem in the Pacific Northwest.
I haven't had a problem on Lake Superior, but I don't think the bears
here have gotten used to finding food in kayaks yet.
