And people and bears don t mix. Bears have a strong sense of smell. Keep this in mind when organizing your campground. If possible it is best to prepare your meals away from your tent. The smell will linger and attract hungry bears.
Food storage is also an issue.
Never store it in your tent or car. These should be used whenever possible. Other trouble areas that most people don t think of are garbage and toiletry items. A bear s nose are just as sensitive to these items as they are to food and they will be attracted to them. They should be stored similar to how food is stored.
