Raccoon VS Plastic Food Barrel 

Chris then locks his barrel and then the following night you hear a french speaking racoon say "Click out of 1, 2 is binding.... goood click, 3 is in a false gate..."

That raccoon was not going to give up lol! Reminds me of the squirrel that came to our campsite on our bike trip. I left a comment about food barrels on your last video, so I won't repeat it here.

One word from CJ and the racoon does as it likes!

I'm glad you only had the one visitor. Camping in Gatineau several years ago, I was visited by many of them with their eyes glowing in the dark. When I accidentally rattled some glass bottles together, they really didn't like that and began hissing. Very unsettling

Thank you for this video -- it is amazing (to me) to see how smart animals are in regards to humans: the raccoon kept looking at you when you were trying to scare it off, and it knew that as long as "you were over there" it had nothing to fear. They learn that humans are slow and clumsy, and realize they can outrun you if you do get up and move toward them, so usually will just keep an eye on you and continue doing what they were doing (foraging your food), until you actually get up and chase them off -- but then they just wait for you to go back to sleep and return later, ha-ha. Putting some sort of small device, like a lock, in that slot of the metal clamp will keep the raccoon from opening it -- just be sure to use something that cannot be opened by hand without a key, etc. -- for example anything you can manipulate with your hands/fingers to open (such as a carabiner) can also be manipulated/opened by the raccoon...they are very clever about solving puzzles and figuring out how to open things, and their front paws/hands are very good at handling things. Thank you again for the entertaining video -- I enjoyed watching the antics of the raccoon -- but I know having your food foraged by critters is not so enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

CJ I suspect that the raccoon only understands French. Ha just joking, yeah raccoons are very smart specially knowing that he had gotten a loaf of bread very easily he was going back for seconds.

Oh my, Ive had 3 bad experiences with racoons. Last time, it got to my snack bag and ate 2 Clif bars, 2 energy chews, and took a bite on 4 fruit strips. It tried my MRE but didnt like it and left it but rendered it inedible. I hope it died of a heart attack from all that boost! LOL

Hahaha cool video.

Trash pandas 🤣

Raccoon comes back the next night with a frickin' hacksaw.........😳!!!! (😝)

Is the barrel bear proof lol!

In previous videos I remember you hanging stuff from a tree limb. Do you think that would work in this case? Thanks for the videos 🤗
