[QUOTE="XSIVSPD, post: 1916939, member: 98308"] I'll add a couple things that my other post didn't include... Yes, definitely have a buddy. The odds of a bear attacking a group are drastically reduced. Yes, bears tend to stink. If you're paying attention often you can smell them before you see them. I wouldn't take all of the defense of life & property statics for Alaska at face value. There's a lot of bears that are killed under that every year the people just shoot for being a nuisance. Almost every bear encounter I've had has been a surprise to both of us. Kind of like humans, they aren't always paying attention to their surroundings. Most of tge time it's a black bear and it runs off. If not, we yell at it and then it runs off lol brown bears, you need to read the situation a little bit to figure out how to react. If it's a charge, all bets are off, but being bear-aware has kept my wife and I out if that situation. I put on 150+ miles a year on foot in the Alaska backcountry between hiking and hunting.
