Bear-resistant food storage canisters have gained widespread acceptance by backpackers as the most convenient and effective means of avoiding conflict with black bears in Sierra Nevada wilderness areas. Bear incidents, however, continue in the Yosemite Wilderness. Beginning in 2004, Yosemite backpackers were required to store their food in approved bear-resistant food storage canisters when camped within seven air miles of a road and anywhere above 9,600 feet; this constitutes a large majority of the park's wilderness. In 2005 we evaluated backpackers' use of canisters for food storage. Trailhead and Internet-based surveys were used to identify wilderness visitors' beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, and intentions regarding use of food storage canisters. We used the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain intended use of food storage canisters in the Yosemite Wilderness and found that models containing measures of attitudes and subjective norm explained 38 to 43% of backpackers' intentions to use canisters
