I leave everything outside in the kitchen unit. I also leave the cool box outside set up similar to dk and never had a problem.

We put food outside. Fresh in the coolbox under a damp towel, dry and tinned in a Really Useful box to keep animals out.

Kitchen tent, along with the fridge and water

Unless its a "quick gettaway" for up to 2 nights where we only take breakfast cereal and just "eat out"

I usually leave my nonEHU coolbox outside at the back or shaded side of tent covered with a thick damp towel.

I do that during the day but at night I leave it in the car where badgers can't get at it!

We often camp in the New Forest, where ponies wander around freely. I've seen them put their noses under flysheets to see if they can smell food, and I once came back to the site to find the couple camped near us had a hole in the side of their brand new tent because horses had ripped it to get at the food left inside. Hence we now keep all our food in the back of the car.


That's exactly what put me off keeping food in the tent! That and the squirrel that got in our (pre-SIG) tent, helped himself to some bread and took a bite out of every apple.
