Give them plenty of room. Never approach a bear or get near a cub. For more bear safety tips visit the Center for Wildlife Information. Keep in mind that you must share these food boxes with other campers. If available, use trailhead food storage boxes.
Bears can break into vehicles if they see or smell signs of food.
Carefully hang food at least 10 feet above the ground and 4 feet out from any vertical support, and preferably more than 100 yards from your tent. Another method of hanging your food is by the counter-balance method . It works well with small and light loads. Bears are active both day and night. At night and any time you are away from camp, remove all food from your pack and store it properly.
