    Powder Coated Steel Roof Rack Rust?

    The rust will begin anywhere the powder coat isn't solid anymore. Cracks in the finish happen when bolts or u-bolts are are tightened, gear is tossed on the rack and the bars or mesh flex etc. All hardware should be stainless steel (stainless rusts too, lemon oil cleans it). WD-40 displaces...

    Sleeping in my Xterra in bear country. Where should I keep my food?

    Bottom line is keep your camp clean and keep your food and anything that smells like food away from camp. How you want to accomplish that is up to you. Bear canisters, bear proof cooler, hanging in a tree... A fed bear is a dead bear, a hungry bear may fill up on you.

If you are camping in bear...

    Sleeping in my Xterra in bear country. Where should I keep my food?

    If you want, you can sleep with your food & coffee and maybe become a caffeinated soft shell taco for the bear. The OP states that he's going to be sleeping in his Xterra so it would not be wise to store the food in it...

    Sleeping in my Xterra in bear country. Where should I keep my food?

    Depends on how exciting you want your trip to be & if you want to tell the story first hand to your grandchildren.:D Bears know what's in the cooler shaped thingy. For dispersed camping you need a bag and a rope, hang it high from a tree branch away from the trunk, away from camp.
