The Things They Don’t Tell You…

When confronted by a bear these are the other things you should know.
Never call out to a Grizzly bear like he’s your friend. “Heeeey Grizz what's popping!”
They hate that! You do this and the only thing popping will be your head in its jaws!
Brown bears are a little more easy going and don’t care what you call them as long
as it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner, between meal snacks, midnight snacks, cheat snacks,
or any time you need a friend while depression eating. Where do they put it all?
Never go hiking while covered with bacon grease and honey, If you do it anyway,
what the heck, you might as well put some red white and blue sprinkles on too!
Never try to pet or get a selfie with any cute little “Teddy” bears you come upon.
When and if they find your phone/camera hopefully it will have that cool shot you
were trying to get! Your friends will have something to remember you by.
You, the cute little teddy bears, and Mama bear being herself and
hamming it up for the camera pretending to grab your head with her mouth.
Oops Guess she wasn’t pretending!

Seriously! Read the journals of Lewis and Clark about the Grizzly bear
encounters they had during their portage of the Great Falls of the Missouri
in what was to become Montana, it was a war.
“Jaws” kept you out of the water, Grizzly wars will keep you of of the wilderness.
Heed the warnings!

Sage advice. I will no longer cover myself in anything edible from now on. It will probably save me some money as well.

Thanks for posting this. Great advice. Not that I would ever be pals with either of them. I wouldn't.

You are hilarious and speak the truth, as well.

Made me smile and although I’d love to see one I appreciate you have to be careful.

Such great advice. I'll bookmark it so I'll be prepared the next time I'm in London town.

Oh come on John ! I lived in bear country for over 40 years. and bears were no more keen on meeting us than we were on getting too close to them. Unfortunately there are those who have to get selfies with teddy :( Here's our regular garden visitor whose only interest was those saskatoons - https://pbase.com/gillk/image/127431215. The garden was his until he was done :) Of course nasty things do happen, but cities are far more scary to my mind !!!

It's a good thing I don't like camping or hiking then :)) Funny but true advertising !!

It never occurred to me to say “Heeeey Grizz what popping!” to a Grizzly Bear. Thanks for this and the other warnings too. Luckily the biggest animals I encounter when hiking are Coyotes (which run away from me) and other walkers (which don't run away from me).

Funny commentary, even though it's true.
I stay away from bears of all colors.
