For sure the Thermacells. Make sure you bring a safety harness just in case the outfitter doesn't supply you with one. Cover scent.
Where are you hunting? We outfit for Black Bear in Manitoba - Hastings Bros.

Bear meat can spoil a lot quicker then deer. I would have a plan to cool the meat down quickly. I gut them and get ice packed in the cavity right away, then skin and quarter right away. Especially if it's warm out.

Who is guiding you in New Brunswick? I know a couple of different ones from over there.. Maybe can get you a little more help from one if i knew who it was.. My wife also has a relative that guides over there..

If you are hunting over bait take your video camera. You should see lots of bears. I've been twice and take my camera arm and set my video camera up. Take something to pass the time in the stand, spring sits can be long!!! Have fun, good luck, and post some pics.
