Many families and groups of friends have gone backpack camping in North America. With the variety of backpack tours and trail backpacking available, you can be sure to get breathtaking scenery all around. While you can enjoy backpack camping and the views of the surrounding nature, don’t forget that there are many things to be on the look out for in the wilderness.

The United States and Canada are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Many backpack tours are specifically geared towards giving tourists an up close view of these animals. Trail backpacking on your own will also bring you into contact with much of the wildlife as well - and some of these encounters are ones you may not want.

Bears are North America’s largest and most unpredictable predator. You can find bears in the northernmost tip of Canada and Alaska to as far as the deep South of the United States. While bear attacks are considered rare, they still happen and you have to be prepared should you find yourself in this situation.
