[QUOTE="CoachChris, post: 231579, member: 12508"] Wolves aren't really an issue. Bears can be. You have to keep a clean camp, store food at least 500 ft. away from sleeping area, preferably in a bear canister and hung at least 20' off the ground and 20' out from tree trunk. You should also hang bloody clothes, toothpaste, etc. with food. Food prep area should be at least 500' from sleeping and food storage in a triangle. It's not a good idea to sleep under the stars. A tent seems to be a barrier of sorts. Some experts say a tarp is better because it offers an unimpeded shot for bear spray. You want to be as scent free as possible. If not hunting, things like cologne, strong deodorants, perfume, food smells etc.. can attract a bear. Same goes for hiking. Keep bear spray close at hand light bulb. [/QUOTE]
