We should start out by saying that it's never possible to 100% bear-proof a camping trip if you're going to be camping in bear country, but there are a number of ways you can really stack the odds in your favor, and it boils down to two pretty basic things - making sure that bears don't find a reason to visit your campsite, and making sure they have every reason to leave.
