You can keep black bears away from your campsite by doing the following:
- Maintain a clean campsite. Put all food scraps always at night or when you leave your campsite.
- Put food scraps and fat drippings in closed containers, not in the campfire.
- Do not cook or eat in your tent.
- Keep food and cooking gear separate from your sleeping area.
- Always store your food securely. Use an airtight bear-proof containers. Backpacks and coolers are inadequate.
- Keep food in closed-up vehicle or hang food at least 10 feet off the ground and five feet out on a limb that will not support a bear.
- Never feed bears.
