I would add that BC has about as many, probably somewhat more bears, in total, than Alaska does, using the stats. presented. This IS an "educated" guess, based on various reports from sources I consider credible, quite a number of them.

We have more Blackies, nearly as many Grizzlies and no Polar Bears in a smaller area and we have a whack of novice and foreign hikers-campers here all year long. So, it would seem very wise to take the advice of people who actually live here and work with these animals, or, that of guys with the most extensive outdoor experience on this forum, such as BillS.

Short stays in tourist cabins does not qualify one as particularly knowledgeable on any topic relevant to outdoors safety, IMHO.
