    TCAT by motorcycle

    My 2020 planned trip of the full TCAT was covid cancelled which has given me time to rethink sleeping arrangements whilst on route. I have an idea that either a hammock or a bell tent can be elevated off the ground to a 'bear safe' distance and harness worn whilst one gets a good night's sleep. I know it's a crazy notion and fool Hardy to persist but I really do think there's a simple doable solution out there. Any rope access fellows/ ladies out there with knowledge on kit that could potentially contribute here...???

    Remember. The Black bear will climb the tree and eat you. The Grizz just pushes over the tree and eats you.

    That's fine but I wont be next to a tree more so in-between and will be choosing only steardy trunks to kick off with but I hear you and yes I've seen the BB's speed, they climb very fast...

    You must not be at the age where you have an urge to get up a few time’s a night and water a plant. I was going to say “tree”, but you may be climbing down that tree.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
