Your mention of Algonquin Park caught my eye. There are absolutely no
Grizzlies, but plenty of Black bears. They are not normally very dangerous,
but will go after food if you have not hung it high up. Under no
circumstances should you keep food in the tents; it could be fatal. Another
thing that can give problems are if any of the women in the party have
their periods. When we were living nearby, two women were killed in their
sleeping bags by a bear; they were having their periods at the time.....
