Advice or tips on backpacking in bear country. I know a lot is common sense, hanging food and stuff. I've only seen a bear once, a cub a couple hundred yards down a trail near the US/Canada border. I'll be in Wyoming this time. Thanks.
Answer
Hang your food at camp, make noise on the trail, and carry bear spray.

If you mean camp as in the kind kids to to for a week in the summer...then yes...I hated it, I didn't know anybody, the nuns were mean, I was really shy, and I cried the whole time. When I got home I collapsed on my mother and sobbed, "I missed you" (I was 8...and quite immature...not much has changed.)
If you mean camping in the woods, then yes...in Canada (outward bound). Also Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah...those were real, backpack everything deep into the woods and camp expeditions. But I also crossed the country "car camping" from Miami thru Texas and New Mexico and then up to Idaho and back down to Colorado and then Az and California ...where I decided to settle. It was fun!
