If you’re in bear country, you want to hang your food high from a tree branch. Not right next to the trunk, bears can climb like squirrels. It’s really amazing how fast they can climb a tree.
Also hang toiletries; don’t keep toothpaste or anything scented in the tent with you.
That will work in some regions. In others you may need to rent a bear canister. Talk to your local rangers to find out what’s appropriate, it depends on the local bears.
