Great tips Taryn! We camp in our RV and have had bears come through our campground several times while we were sleeping. I hope to never encounter a bear face to face! Thanks for the great info!

In reply to Laurel E. I have not heard of anywhere in Vancouver that rents bear canisters. However if you are hiking in a US National Park (like Olympic NP) that requires bear canisters, you can rent them from the ranger station.

Do you know if anyone in Vancouver rents bear canisters?

Thanks Taryn, This is very informative and helpful, and will be a good resource for those looking to get out camping in BC. Also, for myself, it will be a helpful refresher/checklist for future adventures.
