    As an avid outdoorsman I can say that while backpacking alone, during mating season or after hibernation in bear country you better make a lot of noise, cause them bars is upset to say the least.

    I was fortunate enough to hike some of the AT during the "bear pack" attacks and never saw one bear, which is a blessing and a burden.

    I have also been in the back country of Yellowstone where brown bears live.

    Bears are beautiful and dangerous. The noise that anyone in the wilderness hates to hear is that HMMPH that comes from the bushed 20 or 30 yards from where your standing. Trust me you will wet yourself.

    I say this cause when you put yourself in there environment, the human is now NOT at the top of the food chain, the bear is. You have to make peace with that. You jump into any enclosure that is not your home and be prepared for a poor welcome.
