Securing valuables if you don't have a car

Post by ruchir12 » Thu Aug 21, 2014 12:49 pm

Hi everyone! My friend and I are coming for our first time, and we are taking the Burner Shuttle. We are not in a camp and are planning on camping out somewhere solo, so we have no car or other safe spots.

In terms of securing valuables, what would you recommend? How do we ensure that valuables (cash, phone, etc.) are safe during the day when we might not be around the tent?

Thanks for the help!

Get one of those little travel locks for luggage and use it to lock the zippers on your tent together.

Also, make friends with your neighbors. I'm sure they'd be happy to keep an eye out for anyone snooping around when you're not there.
