Plus, you are in bear country at night when bears are usually most active. But following a few basic rules greatly minimizes the risk to yourself and the bears. Storing food and garbage: If your campsite doesn't have a permanent wire, pole, or locker in which to store food, be sure to hang your food well before dark. It's not only difficult to store food after darkness falls, but it's easier to miss a juicy morsel on the ground. Find a good tree branch at least 10 feet high, hanging food at least 4 feet from the trunk.
Clean the wound with an antiseptic. Mosquitoes are more a nuisance than a danger. Most North American mosquitoes can transmit a form of encephalitis, however, which is potentially fatal. The best way to avoid mosquito-borne diseases is to avoid being bitten. Bug sprays with N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) seem to work best. Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, ankle-high shoes, and a cap that covers your ears. Try not to camp near stagnant water or fields of damp or dewy grass. Trail Etiquette The Weminuche is popular horse country, so hikers and horseback riders will undoubtedly meet on the trails.
When the fire is out, douse the ashes with water and replace the earth. Be sure all fires are dead out. Carry out all litter. Do not bury trash; wild animals could dig it up. If you choose to burn your trash, remember that foil doesn't burn completely. Many wonder what to do about human waste and toilet paper. Use the ''cat hole" method when nature calls. Keeping at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails, dig down 6 inches (a lightweight garden trowel or stick works fine), setting the topsoil aside.
