Title: Re: What would you do?

Thanks for the input guys...when I looked at the map and location of the campsites (even before I read about the problem bear) I said to myself "If ever there would be a bear in camp it would be here."  There are close to a dozen campsites nicely lined up on the shores next to each other like fast food joints at an Interstate intersection  ;D  Perfect pickings for a bear.
We will probably try to avoid the worst area, but I think the bear could be travelling far and wide and could show up almost anywhere.  I'll be hanging the packs twice as carefully as I usually do and giving everyone a pile of rocks and a stout beaver stick to stash beside their tent.  Son Dan is bringing a firearm too.
I have also NOT had a bear in camp in the past 25 years and only have seen bears twice in the Q and BW woods in that time frame.
