Unprovoked attacks by bears are extremely rare, mainly because animals try to avoid human contact. However, in the U.S. national Park Service gives a number of recommendations for tourists in the state where there are bears that can reduce the chances of meeting with the animal.

The Agency gave the following advice:

  • You should never camp in an area where there are obvious signs of stay bears, for example, pits or tracks.
  • Do not leave bags and backpacks with food unattended even for a few moments.
  • If you saw approaching the camp of the bear, hide food and make noise, so he got sick to go to camp.
  • Sleep, at least 91 of the meter, preferably on the windward side, from the «base camp» where you cook and eat.
  • Keep the camp clean. From things you do not need to smell like food. Do not cook in the tent and don’t sleep in the clothes you cooked or ate.
  • If the bear came to the camp, grab things, especially food, and head to a safer place – to the car or the building. Don’t run. Food also can be safely stored in special containers, protected from the attacks of bears.
