Re: dealing with marauding bears

I suggest that the advice you follow is that which is based on extensive personal experience, not on reading what some pundit who lived in NYC and wrote "At Home in the, etc."

Caution and use of warning devices, NOT tinkly little harness bells, will do more for your safety than any BS that those who have never seen ONE Grizzly can provide you.

After over 50 years since my first Grizzly encounter, working solo in Grizzly country for months at a time over a nearly 30 year span and teaching bear safety to hundreds of forestry workers as part of my duties, I can give advice that works and have.
