sounds like just a normal day at my house.we learned to live with bears 20 years ago.they've torn up my trash hundreds of times. my burn barrel has over time gone from a single barrel to 3 barrels chained together setting on a concrete slab with a 3in post in the center to keep them from being rolled away. i also drilled the concrete and dropped foot long rebar in the holes so they can't pick them up.bears are smarter than you think. most here are not afraid of humans .
