In case anyone is considering doing some camping this spring or summer, please note the following public service announcement: In Alaska, tourists are warned to wear tiny bells on their clothing when hiking in bear country. The bells warn away MOST bears. Tourists are also cautioned to watch the ground on the trail, paying particular attention to bear droppings to be alert for the presence of Grizzly Bears. One can tell a Grizzly dropping because it has tiny bells in it.

I believe shooting your hiking partner in the knee cap is another survival method. You can also use your hiking stick to "slow" your hiking partners exit.

Use equal portions of bacon grease and rancid salmon. I understand it helps keep the mosquitoes away and attracts bears.

If you start "responding" to smells like that ... you are probably a bear.
