Hiking Backpacks

I need advice / instructions on how to bring back touring show

I've never had a problem chasing a black bear in my camp. If you're dealing with black bears they will leave with a little coaxing, make noise, throw a few small rocks.

Buy a bear cartridge and keep all your food and scented items in it. A bear is not able to enter one of them, they bat around a bit. The containers are needed in some areas, Yosemite is one of these areas. They cost $ 69, weighs just over 2 pounds, and make a little side table in the camp.

Among the areas to be back I have a large population of bears, I saw no fewer than four different bears in one day, many times.

Over 35 years of experience hiking, more than 1000 nights in the backcountry.

spray pepper spraya see they like the food then put something that smells bad. bears can rip open cars to ... not much to do.

all they want is food, and buy a carton of support for it. about 60-75 dollars, a bit expensive but worth it. You can get them at REI or Sports Authority or stores like that. Basically, you put all your food in the tank (and other things like toothpaste, sunscreen, lotion), and carry in your backpack while day and night, put like 50 feet away your campsite. When you buy one, people on the shop will know more about what to do with it.

IT is not possible to wear something PROOF!

If a bear decides he wants all your equipment back away slowly and let the bear it. Now if you want to reduce the chances of finding a bear you or your equipment, you must put your food and anything else in a smelly bear-proof container and place in containers bear resistant food on campsites, if they do, or hang in a tree out of reach. Do not cook more than 100 feet from your tent and wash everything when you're done. If you can feel he is guaranteed a bear smells it.

Now if your in bear country wear red flannel and make bells and pepper spray. Red flannel will help you be seen and the bells will help you be heard, often bears avoid human contact. Pepper spray give you a little fighting chance for close encounters sudden, but is not guaranteed (read the fine print). One way to know if your in bear country is to look for bear droppings, rubs, etc. I saw a 16 foot high scrub once. Now bear droppings, it is easy to identify it will she flannel red bells and the smell of pepper spray.
