We're wanting to do tent camping for free if possible. We will be traveling from New Mexico through Utah, Idaho, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington.

What are the best camping safely tips?

My children and I have been tent camping regularly in National Forest areas and I would like to continue, but the recent bear attack on the poor boy in Utah has me thinking twice. I do not own a gun and so far have just followed the no food in camp rule as a precaution. What can I do to protect myself and my children other than not going?

Answer
I would get information on bear safety and stay away from areas that have seen many bears in the area. Here are some links to teach you about bear safety
