Tips for Setting Up Your Camp Site Keep Bears Out Of Camp  Stay safe around bears  Amazon Link  http://amzn.to/2DhPUpL  If you set up a campsite or tent outside of an established camping area, remember to use the Golden Triangle Rule.  100 steps between each of three points, your tent, cooking area, and restroom area.  Keep your tent, cooking area, and restroom areas clear of each other to avoid contamination, and unwanted animal visitors.  Remember the Bear-muda triangle, everything smellable is stored away from your tent.  
Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal. Remain still; stand your ground but slowly wave your arms. 
Help the bear recognize you as a human. It may come closer or stand on its hind legs to get a better look or smell. A standing bear is usually curious, not threatening.
Stay calm and remember that most bears do not want to attack you; they usually just want to be left alone. 
Pick up small children immediately. Do not make any loud noises or screams.
Put your arms up and appear big if they approach you.
DO NOT allow the bear access to your food.
Have fun in the out of doors, and stay safe.
