10/26/09 – Lisa Carlson, from Elk River, Minnesota, sent along this great picture of their food pack in August on Alton Lake. She was part of a women’s church group novice canoe trip. They had a lot of questions about bears and after some instruction with the pack hanging demo in front of the store, they were very successful in keeping their food away from Yogi – better for them and better for the bears. – Bill

It takes some work and ingenuity, but food can be well protected from bears.
