Scented Food Bear Zone Storage
Scented food bear zone storage locks meals, trash, and toiletries in approved canisters overnight—never in tents—following local cook and distance rules in bear country.
Scented food bear zone storage is the rule set for anything bears might smell—meals, snacks, cookware with residue, toiletries, and trash—locked in approved canisters or hangs per local regulation, never in tents or open packs overnight. Cook and eat in designated areas when parks require it; wipe pots and store with food.
Distance thresholds vary by agency; follow posted maps over forum guesses. Failure risks fines and habituated wildlife.
