I am not going to claim I am a bear expert but one very important piece of advice is keep a clean camp site. This also includes nothing inside your tent and in your pockets. A chewing gum wrapper stuffed in your pocket and forgotten about could be a situation that you don't want to be in. I spent time in Alaska with Frank Craighead some years back and he educated me on bears and what they can do to people who head out into their territory with no education. Stay safe in bear country and you will come back with some very rewarding images. Check out the link below about Frank Craighead. His twin brother was John and both and Frank and John Craighead were considered the foremost authorities on browns and grizzlies in North America. Check this link out for more on these two brothers. http://digbig.com/5bbscd Great article and advice about shooting bears and avoiding a situation that you do not want to be in.
