Why Bear Safety Matters in Yukon
Yukon is home to grizzly and black bears. Whether you're Backpacking or camping, you can encounter a bear anywhere. Be prepared yourself with our rental Bear Safety Gear Package including Bear Spray and Bear Canister.
To fully enjoy Yukon wilderness, you will need to know how to stay safe there. Yukon Government's website gives us bear safety tips in a variety of outdoor situations in Yukon.
Bear Safety Tips
Carry It Within Reach
Always keep your bear spray easily accessible — not inside your bag.
Use Only in Emergency
Bear spray should only be used when a bear approaches and poses a real threat.
One per Person Recommended
We recommend each person carries their own bear spray for maximum safety.
Be Food Smart
Always keep your bear spray easily accessible — not inside your bag.
Proper preparation helps protect both you and wildlife.
Learn Bear Safety from Parks Canada
If you plan to rent bear safety gear, we highly recommend watching these official Parks Canada videos.
They provide essential guidance on how to stay safe and prepared in bear country.
