Bear rips into sleeping family's tent trailer

I think a follow-up article quoted the mom as saying she would go camping again, but only in a hard-sided unit.

i camp with a mossberg 500 and 2 cans of bear spray.so far so good.i even have a can on my boat for when we do shore lunches.can't be too careful.we're almost always in bear country,but in bc,everywhere is bear country.

I believe she has.

The very first line of the article: " Ashley Bayliss hadn’t been camping in the mountains since she was a little girl, but after a scary encounter on Saturday, the Sherwood Park mom says she won't soon be back.

Wow, that would ruin your camping trip.
