[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 827722, member: 14204"] The closest breeder I know from you is in San Diego >>> [URL="http://www.karelianbeardog.us/"]California Karelians: Bear Dogs in action[/URL] ... in Montana, the Wind River Institute ([URL="http://www.beardogs.org/"]Wind River Bear Institute: Karelian Bear Dogs, Bear Shepherding[/URL]) is at the top. My scout troop and I backpacked (84 miles in 10 days) the bear country of the Bob Marshall Wilderness a few years ago. We worked very closely with Ranger District and they provided us with a checklist but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, a couple of things stands out for me ... - Pay special attention to where you pick up your tent. Look for signs; tracks, scats, kills, etc ... - Absolutely no food inside your tent, including candy, tooth paste, etc ... Don't cook/prep food, or eat near your tent. Clean up before bed; change clothes (no food scent). Hang your food. If they want your food so bad, let them have it. - Insure you have proper bear defense in place and readily deployable when the need arises. lightbulb Good luck! [/QUOTE]
