CAMPING & BEARS - How to keep safe.
The best way to keep safe when dealing with bears in the woods is not to meet up with one in the first place! Of course, the ideal situation is not always the real situation.
Bears like to eat. Bears like to eat a lot. Odds are, if a bear knocks at your campground door, he or she is forging for food.

And if a camper is visible, the camper is what is standing between the bear and the food - and the bear may attack, particularly so if the bear is out forging with its cub.
Banging on pots and pans appears to be a good deterrent and may send a curious bear away. However, the obvious solution is to do everything in your power to keep the bear out of your campgrounds. This means sealing and locking up foodstuff.
Bears have a powerful sniffer. Throwing your chips and jerky into a knapsack and hanging it on a tree limb isn't enough to keep bears out of the campground. The key is sealing foods, thus sealing off the scent of food for that powerful sniffer.
