Quoted By:
Bears are unpredictable and most attacks involve black bears. Therefore, to answer OP's question, rather than dispute the premise, I would say carry bear deterrent spray, use a bear bell or whistle (I personally recommend Anon's Happy Floote but any tune will do), store food something like 200m away from your camp, usually hoisted in a tree, in a bear cannister if you want, be mentally prepared to act loud and "big" if a bear starts approaching you, and keep an eye/ear out for local sightings and warnings.
And never ever ever feed a bear. They aren't dogs or cats who will appreciate you. Instead you'll make them crazed and they'll pursue you and kill you or soemone else as a food source.
