   I've slept in a tent in bear country many times, and never really had a problem. Generally if one is seen, it runs way before I can get the camera out, as up by Itasca Park in Minnesota last summer. I have to admit, however, when tent camping solo, it does seem like every little sound is a bear or a lion. lol.  

Use common sense, don't leave food scraps around. I know in backpacking we do not leave our food bags or cannisters near where we sleep, nor do we eat near where we sleep. When in a car or RV,  I've never felt the need to do other than keep a really clean camp to be reasonably safe.

	Bear, what bear, it's just a big dog, no worry honey (and keep the bear spray handy).

	You guys are so funny. We have looked into going to Yellowstone, but my husband does not want to be gone from work so long. I think he is really just worried about getting eaten by a bear.

	Last year we stopped at a campground northeast of Yellowstone. Someone had handwritten in ink on the campground bulletin board that a female Grizzly had ripped open their 5th wheeler access door and tore open their refrigerator door. The sign said "good luck with dogs, kids, and ice cream containers"
