Hi guys

Ive recently move to AB for my job from the uk. Back in the uk me and my wife used to camp atleast one weekend a month. Originally tents but eventually an rv trailer.

I have 0 experience camping in bear country. Im just finishing up building my camping trailer (truck box trailer with topper and roof tent) and want some tips on how to be responsible when we're camping. Id like to eventually go into crown land but for the first trip weve booked a site in kananaskis.

So far all I've got is storing food in coolers inside my truck cab and making sure nothing scented in the tent. Is there much else I need to be aware of? What do i with my gas bbq? Id rather it didnt go in my truck cab overnight but if it must I will. Do you take your trash, ie beer cans etc to the trash each evening or throughout the day? How far away should I park my truck?

Another worry I had was i built the trailer to store everything camping wise in when we're not using it but now im worried that I may be making the trailer like a scent magnet even when its empty at the camp site. Or am I overthinking it?

Any tips are appreciated and looking forward to exploring your great province
