Even though majestic, nature can bescaryat times.
After all, the chances of getting attacked by a bear are slim, but never zero.
Such behavior not only endangered everyones lives but also uninvited her from any upcoming camping trip.
One of the mostcommon mistakespeople make when visiting bear territories is setting up camps in the wrong spot.
Its usually unsafe to stay close to the same trails and roads these animals use.
Its also advised to camp in open areas, away from any cover for bears.
Another rookie oversight is leaving food in tents or near them.
An additional wrongdoing is being too quiet.
This can help the animals sense them from a greater distance.
Meanwhile, their size appears more intimidating to them.
Thankfully, these animals are usually afraid of humans and just want to be on their merry way.
The tips above should help campers steer clear of the majestic creatures instead of coming face-to-face with them.
Instead, try keeping your voice and movements composed, backing away slowly, and avoiding eye contact.
Climbing a tree is another no-go, as is trying to approach them closer to take photos.
If possible, be prepared to leave the area and perhaps save camping or hiking for another day.
Bear sprayshould also be taken seriously by campers, as it can be pretty handy when encountering a bear.
Unfortunately, not all people take the time to educate themselves on it before coming to the wilderness.
Therefore, its a good idea to learn how to use and carry it.
In the time of need, slowly pull it out and remove the safety lock.
Just keep in mind that picking a fight unless your personal safety is at risk isnt worth it.
If a curiousbearis sniffing around and knocks some stuff over, its nothing that cant be fixed.
Or if a frustrated bear is tearing up your hammock, its not an item that cant be repurchased.
Respecting wildlife and learning more about it can help people enjoy bear country safely and minimize animal-human conflict.
