Black Hiking Backpack
Safety Precautions for Wildlife Adventuring?
In about 6 months i am moving to north Vancouver Island.
In the time that i intend to stay there i plan on hiking, biking, along with other outdoor activities.
North Vancouver island has an abundant amount of Cougars, Brown and Black bears, and now even Grizzly Bears.
My Question is, can you recommend any other precautions in taking to avoid dangerous animal attacks and to stay safe?
When Hiking I Intend to have;
Hiking Backpack with speakers (to listen to music without headphones)
Food for long hikes (animals will possibly smell)
Bear Spray
Survival/hunting knife
GPS
Etc.
Also, My significant other has a Miniature american eskimo dog which she intends to walk through the forest. Just wondering if you also think this is a ridiculous idea...
Thanks for the Mature Input!!
Being bear aware is the main key to safety. As another suggested wear bells as you hike. These alert bears to your presence in heavy brush where you may come across a bear suddenly. When we hike we are often to busy enjoying the scenery and we make little noise. The bears are just the same, busy doing what bears like to do, its the sudden surprise that's gets everyone riled up. Also were bright colors like red-flannel so you can be seen better through the brush. Your already carrying pepper spray, make sure its the type for bears the strongest there is. A side arm is good too where legal in a magnum caliber. Leave toto home unless he is a 50lb plus size dog, small dogs are candy to wild animals. Once in bear country be alert to bear signs. Bear rubbings on trees for example. I saw one once that was 16ft high. Also tracks and of course bear scat, you know it is bear scat by what's in it. It will have red flannel and bells in it and smell of pepper spray ...brouhaha LOL!
