there a lot of preadolescents in Yellowstone?...
Tbh, I wanna go to yellowstone this summer with 3 buddies...just a tent, the three of us, and any food we bring along
I've heard that you wanna put food on the perimeter of your camping spot so the bears don't come into your tent, true/false?
Also, what part of yellowstone should we go to (as it spans multiple states, we'd like to visit the most "remote" spot).

is the word "bear" code for angry fat mother?
Watch out for that Super Volcano directly underneath Yellowstone, it's a doozy.
Bears are the last thing you should be worrying about.

The Thorofare (in SE Yellowstone) is widely credited as the most remote part of the lower 48. You have to hang your food.
Why would we hang our food, if we can climb a tree to hang it so can whoever is trying to steal our food...or in the case of bears, wouldn't it be best to just put our food like 15-20 yards from the tent so they stop at the food and not at our tent?
In your case I might recommend keeping the food in the tent, tbh.
Because they won't stop at the stashed food. Once they find some that is accessible, they'll trash your camp looking for more.
Hang the food high enough that they can't stand/extend and snag it (pretty damn high) , but on a branch that isn't big enough for them to climb out on and pull it up.
You should just rent a cabin outside of Yellowstone and drive into the park each day. Who wants to sleep in a tent? Probably hippies.
How can someone who lives in Utah hate sleeping in tents? Your state is like one big national park.
Real talk man, grizzlies ain't to be flexed with, and Yellowstone provides poles to hang food on at their backcountry campsites (there is no dispersed camping in Yellowstone). You don't properly stash your food on the pole, you're just asking to either get mauled or get stuck miles from civiliaztion with to eat. The previous two years have been nasty when it comes to bear attacks in the area; I think four people have been killed in the summers of 2010 and 2011 in the area when I think there had only been 5 in the 30 years before then.
We can't just set down camp anywhere in the woods, it has to be in a campground?
That's why I pull my 5th wheel whenever we go camping, unless it's to our cabin in Island Park. I'm not sleeping in a tent.
Thats not ing camping man.
Also, I have a feeling this thread is not going to end with a happy ending. We'll be reading about another bear attack next year.
Yeah, pretty sad that the grizzly would have to be put down after the attack.

Its always sad because its almost always the peoples fault. People that go into those parks are god damn stupid.
BTW BB, marked 3 more NPs off my list. Went to Death Valley, Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest over Spring Break. Death Valley was pretty damn boring, TBH.
Should have taken your ass to the eastern side of Kings Canyon when you were in the area.
super volcano is gonna destroy more than half of america
You go in the canyon at all?
Not always though. The two killings in 2010 weren't the fault of the victims. The first one the forest service dropped off a captured and drugged grizzly without putting out warning signs, so some hiker got mauled and killed nearby. The second one was a predatory attack when a mother killed and started feeding on a guy camping near Cooke City with her two cubs. One of the ones last year was some dumbass who thought he'd try to outrun a grizzly, so he fits the idiot tourist stereotype for sure.
