Be sure to read closely :-)

That's funny. Reminds me of the old joke about hiking with someone - I don't need to be able to outrun the bear, I just need to be able to outrun my fellow hiker.

Too funny:)

They say that the best thing to do if a bear rushes you is to stand your ground and stare him in the eye. If he actually begins to attack, you're supposed to roll up into a ball protecting your throat.

Um, okay...if a bear attacks me, I'm probably going to be so panicked that I will fight back....and get my ass whomped.

BTW...a park ranger I spoke with in Yellowstone earlier this summer advised against the bells, but highly recommended bear pepper spray.

I've heard it really depends on the type of bear. One type will leave you alone if you play dead, the other will just eat you! I don't remember which is which though :-(

Hopefully I never bump into the wrong type and do the wrong thing!

That sign is awesome!
