Backpacking, Hiking & Camping

» Jodi Gallegos - Your actions can help others as well

You included some great information for reducing the opportunities for bears. One point you made is SO important. Campers who don't make the effort to keep their supplies away from bears put others at risk. On a family camping trip in a Wy campground, we were very careful to carry everything back to the car, including our chapstick. In the middle of the night, our tent was attacked by a bear. When we finally risked leaving to get to our car we noticed the food stacked on the table at the next campground. It looked like a convenience store!
I never had to wonder "why" it happened. And I didn't camp again for 15 years.

Great advice. It is important to be clean in your camp. When there is a problem with a bear, the bear usually loses in the end.

It's very important that people be responsible campers, whether it's food or fires or cleanup or any number of issues. Some people are very irresponsible (or ignorant) about this.
