I've heard that one a hundred times. The threat of bears is greatly exaggerated. Locals I have spoken with say carry the bear spray. There are those who suggest carrying a powerful handgun as back-up although some question the effectiveness of a handgun against grizzlies. Locals I have spoken with say just make sure to file the front sight off. Apparently it hurts less when the bear bends you over and puts it.....
