Canada | Yoho National Park Evacuated After Bear Intrusion Raises Alarm Over Outdoor Safety

July 2025 – British Columbia, Canada

Dozens of campers were evacuated from Yoho National Park in British Columbia this summer after repeated black bear intrusions forced Parks Canada to close a popular backcountry campsite.

Witnesses reported tents being ripped open and food caches destroyed as a black bear roamed the site throughout the night. Rangers attempted to scare it away with loud noise deterrents, but the animal returned multiple times, leading authorities to call in a helicopter evacuation.

“This wasn’t a one-time encounter,” said a Parks Canada spokesperson. “The bear had lost its fear of humans, making the situation dangerous.”

The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring nighttime safety in vast outdoor spaces. While park authorities provide guidelines for storing food and minimizing scents, campers often remain vulnerable to silent intrusions that occur without warning.

In this context, modern sensing technology is redefining outdoor security. The LETWESAF Camping Radar Security Alarm, for example, offers perimeter detection up to 50 feet, penetrating obstacles like tents or bushes and wirelessly transmitting alerts within 0.3 miles. With an IP66 waterproof rating and 48-hour battery life, it’s built for unpredictable wilderness conditions — from heavy rain to total darkness.

Events like the Yoho evacuation reveal that safety in the wilderness isn’t just about caution — it’s about preparedness. With radar-based protection, campers can rest easier knowing they’ll be alerted the moment anything enters their perimeter.
