In bear country, it is a good idea to wear small silver bells to warn bears of your approach. It is also a good idea to carry pepper spray, in case you still surprise the bear, and need to defend yourself.

Hikers should also be on the lookout for bear feces, as this is often the first warning of bears in the area.

Black bear feces are generally smaller, smells of fish, and usually contains berries.

Grizzly bear feces are quite large, smells like pepper, and often contains small silver bells.

Thank you for that one - already on it's way to my sons - who are going bear hunting 10 hours north of here this weekend.
