Bears vs. Campsite - Who Wins?

The Billings Gazette uploaded this video of ZooMontana's grizzly bears Ozzy and Bruno demonstrate the damage bears can do to a campsite when campers do not take precautions against bears




Do you know how to properly bear-proof your campsite? We may not have too many grizzly bears roaming around southern Utah, but there are bears. Worse than the bears is the chipmunks, squirrels and other rodents who eat through gear to get to food.

Here's a great list of 5 ways to bear-proof your campsite (many apply to animal-proofing your campsite).

1- Put food away in a suitable shelter or container.

2- Create a bear hang.

3- Handle food with care.

4- Avoid cooking strong smelling foods (except bacon is delicious).

5- Dispose of all food scraps, food particles, leftovers and containers properly.
