The
Ten Commandments
of
Camping
in
Bear Country
Keep a clean camp. Food and all items that come in contact with food carry
food
odors that bears can
smell
.
Clean
all
utensil
s thoroughly immediately after use. Never deposit food
residue
s (i.e.,
cooking grease
) into
campfire
s.
Place
garbage
where bears cannot smell or gain access to it, either in
bear proof
containers or
dumpster
s. Don't burn or bury garbage. Bears will dig it up.
Do not eat or cook in your tent. Avoid storing food or attractants in
tent
s,
sleeping bag
s, or
backpack
s.
Treat non-food items such as
gum
,
soap
or
deodorant
as food. They are
attractive
to a bear's acute
sense of smell
.
Immediately store food articles after every use in airtight containers.
Cooler
s are not airtight and bears often associate them with food. Secure them in a locked trunk or truck cab concealed from view.
Cook only as much food as you will eat. Avoid as much food garbage as possible.
Never attempt to feed a bear or any other wildlife.
Approaching
wildlife
, especially black bears, can be a dangerous activity.
Bears learn very quickly. Black bears that associate food with people may become
aggressive
and
dangerous
. This may lead to
personal injury
, property damage and the need to
euthanize
problem animals.
