- Report bear
sightings and problems to the nearest Ranger Station.
- Store anything
with an odor or the appearance of potential food in an approved
bear-resistant canister or in the trunk of your vehicle.
- Always keep such
items covered and out of sight in your vehicle.
- Remember that
garbage, soap, toothpaste, sunscreen, fishing gear, boxes, ice chests,
clothing with food smells, lip balm, etc. have the odor or the appearance
of potential food.
- Never leave items
unattended (day or night) in camp unless properly stored.
- All food should
be cleaned up immediately and garbage placed in trashcans immediately
during the day and night. Always use bear-resistant trashcans where
available.
- I t is dangerous
to try to retrieve anything once a bear has it. If bears do find your
food and make a mess, always clean it up after the bear is gone!
