>>2152207>Seen one in the wildYeah, one or two a summer
>How manyCountless if you include the dump, 20 or 30 in the actual woods
>TypeJust black, saw a grizzly from really far away once in Alaska, would like to see a polar bear. Polar bears were my grandfather's favorite animal.
>Bear awareI have ears and eyes and know where you're likely to find a bear but black bears hate people so as long as you're not retarded you're fine.
See them a lot in berry patches.
>Food storageOnly thing I eat when I camp that is likely to give me issue is fish but I land my canoe and clean my fish away from my camp. Only catch enough that I'll eat them in one meal.
I hang my pack but that's actually to keep rodents and smaller animals out of my shit.
>Pistols vs. sprayI camp out of country so don't want to go through the pain of bringing/buying a gun.
Never needed anything more than a loud voice.
Here's a female I saw on the road a few years ago. Shit photo, I'm not a photographer.
