I like to go hammock camping but I go in a area prone to black bears


Answer
Don't sleep with anything that has a smell, food, wrappers, brush your teeth with out tooth paste at night, put clothes on that you didn't cook food or eat food in. Hang all of this stuff up in a tree in a bear bag (check the best way for your area), or if there is a bear box use that AWAY FROM YOUR TENT. Black bears aren't really as dangerous as people think, they only go into your tent/ hammock if they smell food. If one happens to come by at night, just make some loud noises and it should run off. If you spill food, pick it up and pack it out if you don't like trail spice. Also cook away from where you wil be sleeping. I do a lot of backpacking in VT/NH and I am more worried about the moose because if they are running at you they are not stopping, a bear is just trying to scare you so you just stand your ground and make noise.

How old must you be to go to a camp ground.?

Q. My friends and i would like to go camping this summer and we were all wondering how old you would have to be. Not like a log cabin just like the delware water gap with tents.


Answer
