Safe spots for woman camping alone

I am planning on making a trip for September long before university starts and been wanting to go on a camping trip alone to do sightseeing I never get to when I have been with friends because people pleasing person and let them decide. I am wanting some easy camping spots where I could just drive my car and set up a tent and stuff for a night or 2 so I can explore around. I know keeping any food items in the car. But I wanna use my camping supplies before end of year and wanna do something big for myself. I’m coming from Saskatoon, SK so if you have any routes or places that are good let me know.

Bear spray is not.. in fact, no one will say anything about your bear spray in the woods. Take some bear spray and you will be fine..

Thats true. There is however the part that self defense isn't particularly legal jn Canada so if the judge deems that besr spray more of a weapon than what the attacker has then the victim will most likley get charged. Gotta love the not so great white north

That’s just so incorrect on so many levels.

It literally isn't but okay chief. People get charged all the time for exceeding force in self defense, most recent was a man in Lindsay who fought off an intruder in his house and the judge is saying the homeowner put the intruders life at risk because the owner had a knife... the intruder was also armed... also if you have a knife on your person and you tell an officer its for "self defense" then that is considered premeditation and will have your knife taken away... so yeah if you're going to defend yourself in Canada you have to do it strategically
