My first backpacking trip taught me a great lesson. When traveling in bear country be sure to use a bear canister for food storage. In addition, be sure not to over pack food, keep food away from the campsite, and actually close the canisters after every use. After the trip, I read that hanging food from trees doesn't work in the Sierras because bears are so used to humans that it is no longer effective. If we had known this earlier we wouldn't of had two bears eat 2/3 of our food. Now I know.
