My husband and I and our two little dogs will be tent camping in northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior in less than 3 weeks. We will also be hiking where black bear are abundant. Do you have any tips to keep us safe, especially with two small dogs by our side?

I do have one specific question. Will our food be safe in our car that will be parked nearby or do we need specific bear proof containers for our food, even when kept in the car?
