What the heck! Talk about clueless campers, hauling spoilable meat products around in black garbage bags and a suitcase! They gave BEAR ATTRACTANTS and 'leaving-a-trace' new levels of ignorance, let alone the concepts of food health/safety. It looks like they simply didn't know how to cope and just abandonned their supplies.

Too bad that such ignorant and ill-prepared people can even get into the backcountry. Back a number of years ago, then-park-super John Winters was trying to gather support for a skills-and-ethics course for backcountry access .. along with a training center for that and advanced skills education. Too bad the 'powers-that-be' didn't support it! Even an online 'test', like the motorboat operators test, would familiarize people with the basic skills, rules, ethics and expectations associated with access to the backcountry. But I'm not holding my breath!

I came across something similar unfortunately this year on Kiosk lake. Arrived at my favorite site to find garbage everywhere. They also brought meat in from the grocery store (foam packing) but they ate most of the actual food but all of the packaging was scattered everywhere, it was also a windy day so allot of it blew back into the bush. There were at least 5 empty tin cans as well as a few empty liquor bottles and many empty beer bottles and cans. It was a horrible sight to see. I ended up taking another site with the intentions of cleaning that site up the next day but I ended up walking up to a thunder storm so it didn't happen. I reported it on my way out and when I checked back up on it later in the week it was 100% cleaned up.

Hey Everyone,

It's been a bit, but got to finishing up our video log from our overnighter to Cauliflower Lake which took place August 28-29, 2015.
