What are the best camping safely tips?

My children and I have been tent camping regularly in National Forest areas and I would like to continue, but the recent bear attack on the poor boy in Utah has me thinking twice. I do not own a gun and so far have just followed the no food in camp rule as a precaution. What can I do to protect myself and my children other than not going?

I would get information on bear safety and stay away from areas that have seen many bears in the area. Here are some links to teach you about bear safety
