I’m going backpacking for the first time next week to Yosemite. Anyone have any tips or recommendations on things I should get that I might not have thought about?

A gun or bear horn is the best

But with a small gun like a pistol which you would have if ur backpacking never shoot a charging bear because if it’s charging the bullet won’t do much to stop the momentum of the bear and it’ll still get you. A bear horn is also more likely to spook it away.
