To save the bears from their desire to get food from folks and then get
aggressive, they want us to keep our food away from the bears. This means
that each night you must:
Use a bear box (a big permanent steel cupboard)
(see: http://www.edgeinternet.com/sps/trails/bearboxs.htm Bear Box
Locations)
Use a tree limb or cable to hang your food bag
Use a bear can (see: http://www.wcf.com/bearcan.html )
HTH.
>is stealth camping not a possibility bc of this?
