If you go camping in bear country or near bears you can buy some bells that keep the bears away from your campsite.

Wash your clothes after cooking food to get rid of the food smells and also pick a campsite that is usually uninteresting to bears.

You should also get yourself a bag for your food and hang the food high up in a tree away from the bears so they cannot smell the food as easily or get too it.

If you're camping in a tent keep your food in the trunk of your car and not in your tent or erect a temporary fence to keep the bears away.

You can buy a reusable bear proofing quick fence online that you can fold up and put up around your campsite to keep bears out of your campsite.
