The better alternative is a bear canister.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few brands on the market,\u00a0 but my favorite is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BearVault-BV500-Backpacking-Lightweight-Protection\/dp\/B0019LSGQE\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537531887&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=bear+canister&amp;dpID=41U9y6xOUwL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=jdhute74-20&amp;linkId=70c47bfca8ba9cd6c93d1a74f5154f7b&amp;language=en_US\">Bear Vault Bear Resistant Food Canister<\/a>.\u00a0 Tested to keep out even the smartest Grizzly and Black Bears.\u00a0 Store all of your food and scented items safely in the see through Bear Vault. Just fill it up and use the guides to strap it onto your backpack.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll be on your way in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are you protecting your food from bears.\u00a0 It will be kept safe from raccoons, possums, squirrels and even rodents.<\/p>\n<h3>Bear Canister Vs Hanging a Bear Bag<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Advantages:<\/strong>\u00a0 The main advantage bear canisters offer is piece of mind.\u00a0 You won&#8217;t have to mess around with finding trees and hanging your bear bag.\u00a0 Plus your food is guaranteed to go undisturbed throughout the night.\u00a0 It&#8217;s protected against all wild creatures, not only bears. I&#8217;ve had some serious problems with squirrels wreaking havoc on my hanging food bag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disadvantages:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0The primary disadvantage that your going to have is ease of transport.\u00a0 Most canisters are heavy and cumbersome to withstand the weight of a full grown Grizzly.\u00a0 Another concern of many hikers is the high price tag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Bear Canisters are Helpful<\/h3>\n<p>Bears have a great sense of smell, sniffing out human food like they were gourmet chefs.\u00a0 Researchers estimate that bears can smell almost as good as a well trained tracking dog.\u00a0 They can pick up subtle scents from miles away, so it should come as no surprise when they traipse through camp looking for food.<\/p>\n<p>In the old days bears had a natural fear of humans and campers slept with their food. No bear was bold enough to enter camp and steal your private food stash.\u00a0 Unfortunately irresponsible campers gave bears a taste of food making them more bold.\u00a0 They invaded camp scaring the pants off of usually sleeping campers.<\/p>\n<p>For years people tried hanging food bags suspended over tree limbs, but bears quickly figured that out.\u00a0 They switched to more elaborate methods that were extremely time consuming.\u00a0 Hanging bags over branches and rigging up counter balances, it was a tiring process.\u00a0 A lot of people still use the counterbalance method where park rangers allow it.<\/p>\n<h4>Bears Find a Way<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5606\" src=\"https:\/\/rangetoreel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Black-Bear-Climbing-a-Rope-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bears aren&#8217;t stupid, they find a way to beat every elaborate hanging method we come up with.\u00a0 Often sending cubs to climb across branches cutting the rope.\u00a0 They&#8217;re like aerial acrobats dangling off a trapeze.<\/p>\n<p>Once they&#8217;ve been introduced to human food they&#8217;re hooked and go after it every chance they get.\u00a0 They go to extreme lengths to try to get their grubby little paws on your lunch.\u00a0 Bear canisters like the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BearVault-BV500-Backpacking-Lightweight-Protection\/dp\/B0019LSGQE\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537531887&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=bear+canister&amp;dpID=41U9y6xOUwL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=jdhute74-20&amp;linkId=70c47bfca8ba9cd6c93d1a74f5154f7b&amp;language=en_US\"> Bear Vault<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FRONTIERSMAN-INSIDER-Bear-Proof-Ergonomic-Comfortable\/dp\/B07B87GKZ1\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537531887&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=bear+canister&amp;dpID=31wOLY-8uRL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=jdhute74-20&amp;linkId=f2565293471f686b473c2e4e20c99cd1&amp;language=en_US\">Frontiersman Insider<\/a> are your last line of defense. Who knows how long it will be until bears get wise enough to open our bear canisters.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Use a Bear Canister<\/h2>\n<p>When going out into bear country you need to limit the amount of food you bring along.\u00a0 Bear canisters are small offering a limited amount of storage.\u00a0 All food, toiletries, trash and otherwise smelly items need to be placed inside a IGBC Approved bear container.<\/p>\n<h4>What Needs To Go Inside?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>All Packaged Food<\/li>\n<li>Sunscreen and Mosquito Repellent<\/li>\n<li>Deodorant and Perfume\/Cologne<\/li>\n<li>Soap<\/li>\n<li>Lip Balm and Makeup<\/li>\n<li>Medication<\/li>\n<li>Feminine Hygiene Products<\/li>\n<li>Anything Else that Goes in your mouth or on your skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Bear Canister Steps<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Prepare all of your food and remove all commercial packaging to increase usable space.<\/li>\n<li>Fill your canister up to the brim and store it at least 100 yards away from your tent.\u00a0 You should also make sure you store it downwind so you aren&#8217;t laying between the food and a hungry bear.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your canister closed and locked, even when you&#8217;re nearby.\u00a0 Most of the time a bear will ignore you and head straight for the canister.\u00a0 Canisters will only work when it&#8217;s closed and locked.<\/li>\n<li>Store Your Canister on the ground and hide it behind brush or rocks.\u00a0 Never store it next to a hill or by the edge of a cliff, because it will be battered off.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you remove any straps and ropes from the canister while storing.\u00a0 If he can&#8217;t get it opened he&#8217;ll carry your canister off into the woods for later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5>Reduce The Amount You Carry<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Everything you buy needs to be bought in bulk and then repackaged into smaller ziplock bags.<\/li>\n<li>You can carry more food if you look for dehydrated items.\u00a0 Aim for low volume foods that are high in calories because they take up less space.\u00a0 Think pastas, jerkies, nuts etc.<\/li>\n<li>Remove all of the commercial packaging and put it into smaller bags.\u00a0 Consider tossing in your spices while your at home.\u00a0 Remember just because you bought a 5 lb bag of rice doesn&#8217;t mean you have to bring it all.<\/li>\n<li>Label all your bags with basic cooking instructions and what should go with it.<\/li>\n<li>Reducing your packaging minimizes the amount of trash you need to pack out.<\/li>\n<li>Consider buying dedicated camping cookware.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/rangetoreel.com\/backpacking-cookware\/\">Here are a few of my favorite camping cookware sets.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Where to Place Your Canister<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5536 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/rangetoreel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Hang-a-Bear-Bag-or-Bear-Canister-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\"

the amount of time you&#8217;re with food.\u00a0 You should never have food in your actual campsite.\u00a0 That also means that you shouldn&#8217;t cook your food in the campsite.<\/p>\n<p>Bring along a compact cooking stove and cook at least 100 yards away from your camp and food storage location.\u00a0 Both your makeshift kitchen and storage location needs to be downwind from your actual campsite.<\/p>\n<p>To setup a food storage spot just start walking downwind from your camp.\u00a0 That is unless you want to wake up to a hungry bear.\u00a0 The farther you walk the better, but 100 yards is normally about perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Look for areas away from hills that have decent landmarks, so you don&#8217;t forget where you put it.\u00a0 Your best bet is going to be to hide your canister in bushes or behind rocks, but it really doesn&#8217;t matter all that much.\u00a0 With a great sense of smell you&#8217;re really just buying time before some critter stumbles upon your canister<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Other Useful Tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When hiking and backpacking strap the canister to the center of your pack.\u00a0 Make sure it&#8217;s as close to your back as possible centered between your shoulders.\u00a0 Just remember to remove all your straps after you setup camp.<\/li>\n<li>Place canisters approximately 100 yards away from your campsite.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve seen experts recommend 100 feet, but who wants to sleep that close to a hungry agitated bear.<\/li>\n<li>Flip your canister upside down to reduce the chance of bears damaging your lid gnawing on the top of the canister.<\/li>\n<li>Stay away from water and lakes unless you want to lose your stash of food.<\/li>\n<li>The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee recommends storing your food in odor-negating bags. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LOKSAK-Opsak-Barrier-Bag-pk\/dp\/B00UAUZSXE\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537540927&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=opsak+barrier+bag&amp;dpID=41QrN%252BZQHKL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=jdhute74-20&amp;linkId=6f067e0b025e10e3f0223a410f7ea31c&amp;language=en_US\">OPSAK storage bags<\/a> are probably the best option, and they work like ZipLocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Bear Canisters Protect The Local Bear Population<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5609 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/rangetoreel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Bear-Drawing-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately once bears start to get accustomed to human food it changes their foraging habits.\u00a0 They start to get aggressive around backpackers endangering everyone involved.\u00a0 Harassing campers for food makes for a quick trip to Bruin Heaven.\u00a0 One or two complaints of a problem bear is all it takes to get him euthanized.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully bear canisters are extremely effective and have been lowering human-bear interactions.\u00a0 Unfortunately humans make mistakes that could cost a bear his life.\u00a0 The only way to stop human bear conflicts is 100% compliance across the board which will likely never happen.<\/p>\n<h3>Sometimes Canisters are Required<\/h3>\n<p>In a lot of national parks bear canisters aren&#8217;t just recommended their required by law.\u00a0 Most major national parks are now requiring bear canisters over bear bags.\u00a0 The last time I was in Yosemite Park Rangers were actually checking to make sure people brought along a canister.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a nuisance, but they&#8217;re protecting the local bear population more than the campers.\u00a0 Some parks even offer loaner canisters and lock boxes to store your food in.\u00a0 You can either contact the local park office or be smart and just bring along a canister.<\/p>\n<h4>More Ways to Avoid Bears<\/h4>\n<p>Extremely smart and with a stunning sense of smell, bear encounters happen more often than you&#8217;d think.\u00a0 Bears can run faster than us, swim better, and even climb trees.\u00a0 \u00a0 If a bear wants to get a piece of you there&#8217;s no stopping him.<\/p>\n<p>Most bears, including grizzlies, rarely seek out a confrontation with humans.\u00a0 Though black bears are a little bit more inquisitive when it comes to food.\u00a0 If you do everything right you should be able to deal with pesky bears.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t camp in heavy brush where bears normally frequent.\u00a0 Look for signs of bear activity, including droppings, animal tracks and scraped up camp sites.\u00a0 Bears are also known to frequent watering holes so avoid the waters edge.<\/li>\n<li>Never bring food into your campsite or even worse, your actual tent.<\/li>\n<li>Always keep your food in bear proof containers until you actually plan to eat.\u00a0 After you start cooking never leave your dinner unattended even for a second.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your site clean and try to get rid of any trash that might attract animals.\u00a0 You can even burn up some of your wrappers to dispose of them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In bear country you can&#8217;t count on your food being safe overnight if you don&#8217;t take the right precautions.\u00a0 Even
