I occurred to me after seeing references to Grizzly bears that the 'knowledge base" of this list might stand additional enlightenment. That addition evolved from a discussion I had with a Ranger in Montana some years ago. His advice was about bears and he basically said that when encountering a bear to drop the backpack and climb a tree as quickly as you could, that will give you time to determine what kind of bear you're dealing with. There are 2 kinds: Black bears and Brown, aka Grizzly, bears the latter being far more dangerous than the Black ones. Once in the tree you won't have to concern yourself with determining the color, if it's a Black bear he/she will climb the tree. If it's a Brown bear it will knock the tree down. Pretty simple I thought and thanked him for information. Knowledge is Power, right?

PR. "You got bear spray?" rev. Yep. I see you have TWO sprays on your belt, Why? PR. "Not enough room on my belt to carry three bear sprays." later, (2010), my son on our 2-KLR adventure are at the summit of Road to the Rising Sun, Glacier National Park, and there are numerous little kids running about with bear bells tied to their shoes. I asked my son, Q. "Do you know why they put bells on the children's shoes?" A. "Makes it easier for the bear to find the bait." and the last bear story that I am familiar-- It involves Elk hunting: Griz's now sit and listen (in some areas) for a gunshot, then go to investigate the fresh kill. What I have been told, if the Griz asks for your Elk, give it to him. Same story when salmon fishing, when Griz asks for your fish, the answer is, 'Why yes, Mr. Griz, help yourself.' What I do know, from (bad experience), get your food up in the tree before dark; under certain circumstances that yes, I experienced, attempting to get the string across a limb in the dark can cause the string-rock combination to strike you in the head. revmaaatin.
