Have you ever experienced a bear at your campsite??? 🐻 Although bear attacks are very rare, a bear at your campsite can be extremely dangerous. Bears tend to recognize humans for what they are and don’t hunt us on purpose. However, they have a strong sense of smell and are attracted to the food we bring to campgrounds. Even if something isn’t food but has a strong smell (like cleaning products or certain hygiene items), they might still be drawn to it. It’s important to be able to identify what kind of bear you encounter, as there are different types of bears, and you should approach them differently. Some are more aggressive, while others are easier to scare away. Identifying the bear at your campsite and responding appropriately can make all the difference in the world. In our latest blog post, you’ll find different tactics you should take when you’re facing down a bear and tips for staying safe while camping. Link in bio. 📸: National Park Service
