I went into grizzly country for this week’s camping.

It’s a surprisingly short drive to get into bear country from my new place so I took full advantage of that! Just the beginning of this years bear country camping, and I’m hoping to get lots of them on film.

Why is it essential to keep a clean and organized campsite when car camping in grizzly country?

Car camping is a fun and convenient way to explore the great outdoors. However, if you are planning on camping in grizzly country, you need to be prepared for the risks that come with it. Grizzly bears are apex predators in many areas of North America, and encountering one can be a dangerous and potentially deadly experience.

Before embarking on your camping trip, it is important to research the specific area you will be camping in. Knowing the behavior and range of grizzly bears in the region, as well as any recent bear encounters, can help you plan accordingly. Be sure to also check for any local restrictions or regulations concerning bear encounters.

When setting up camp, it is essential to keep a clean and organized site. Store all food and cooking supplies in bear-proof containers or bear bags, and keep your garbage stored in a secure location. Avoid bringing any fragrant items into the tent, including food wrappers, toiletries, and scented lotions.

If you plan on cooking or eating in camp, be sure to do so in a designated area away from your tent. Cooking in your tent can attract bears and create a safety hazard. Wash all dishes and cooking surfaces thoroughly after use to prevent attractants from lingering.

Car campers should also be mindful of their surroundings when setting up camp. Avoid camping near any known bear trails, and look for signs of bear activity around your campsite, such as scat or scratching on trees. Keep a safe distance from any bears you may encounter, and do not approach them for any reason.

In the event that a grizzly bear does approach your campsite, it is essential to remain calm and collected. Do not run, as this may trigger the bear’s predatory instincts. Instead, speak in a calm voice and back away slowly. If the bear charges you, use bear spray to deter it from attacking. Remember, bear spray is only effective at close range, so be sure to keep it within reach.

Car camping in grizzly country can be a thrilling and rewarding experience. However, it is important to approach it with caution and preparedness. By following these tips and practicing general bear safety, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable camping experience in the presence of these magnificent creatures.
