How do I ensure my campsite is safe from bears

Sure! Here are four different ways to keep your campsite safe from bears:

**Keep Food Stored Properly**: Make sure to store all your food in bear-proof containers or hang it high in a tree, at least 10 feet off the ground and 4 feet away from the trunk. Bears have a great sense of smell, so even the tiniest food scraps can attract them!

**Set Up Your Camp Wisely**: Choose a campsite that’s at least 100 yards away from any water sources or berry patches. Bears are often drawn to these areas, so setting up a good distance away can help keep them at bay.

**Clean Up After Yourself**: After cooking or eating, clean up any spills and pack away all trash. Don’t leave food scraps or wrappers lying around. It’s like leaving a welcome mat for bears!
