>>2647095>>2647096>The couple and dog mauled and killed by a grizzly bear in the backcountry of Banff National Park late last week did everything right, Parks Canada says.>They had the appropriate permits.>They had bear spray.>They'd hung their food properly.>They weren't walking the trail and surprising the bear. It came to them after camp was established.>They were staying in a location where there were no active bear warnings or area closures.Bear spray isn't as good as everyone claims it to be. You are better off with a gun be it a handgun in 10mm or some rifle but if you can't carry then take bear spray, better than having to fight it hand to hand.
