How to Protect Bears from Your Food

When bears grow too accustomed to nonnatural food sources, they become a threat to humans and to themselves. Whether you’re backpacking or car camping, Wes Siler is here to show you how to avoid being a part of the problem. For starters, keep your campsite clean and free of odors, and store your food in the appropriate manner, to ensure the safety of everyone at your site and all of our furry friends out in nature.
