Backpacker Magazine - Ask A Bear



Have you ever wanted to ask a Bear why he/she does the thing he/she does? If any of the many myths told around a campfire have any credibility? Or what the chances are of you making a bear mad when just trying to mind your own business? Well, wait no more...

Backpacker Magazine's "Ask a Bear" column is part of 'The Manual' weekly e-mail updates. The columns author, or "Bear", has done an excellent job of entertaining us with a bears take on how our careless mistakes in the wild are viewed and what we should be more careful of (along with what rediculous beliefs surrounding bears can be ignored and laughed at). Ever wanted to know if it's o.k. to not safely store food above the treeline? The "bear" anwers questions from whether or not soap/deodorant will attract attention from a bear, to whether or not it's a good idea to make whoopee in the great outdoors (or if human flactulence attracts a bear...).

If you have ever had a question for a bear, but haven't been able to have that intimate on-on-one conversation without having to worry about being his next lunch, than ask him HERE.

Since I'm on the subject of bears, check out this video. If you have ever wanted to know what it looks like to have two bears charge you than here you go. I'm sure that the guy shooting this video didn't admit   to having lost control of his bowels at the same time he fired his rifle...
