Other trouble areas that most people don t think of are garbage and toiletry items. A bear s nose are just as sensitive to these items as they are to food and they will be attracted to them. They should be stored similar to how food is stored. The next problem area is bear encounters. You should try to avoid bears at all costs.
Bears are also very curious animals.
Bears know waht humans are but they might not be able to identify you at first glance. If a bear sees you talk to it in a normal voice and wave your arms so it can identify what you are. In a lot of cases bears will stand on their hind legs to satisfy it s curiosity. Most people mistake that for aggressive behavior. If a bear sees you, don t run.
