Are people INSANE to hike / backpack / camp in grizzly bear habitat?
As many of you know, I love wilderness and nature, the bigger and wilder the better...
But if you come around a corner and have the misfortune of coming between a grizzly and cubs chances are you will get scratched and bitten ferociously by a 750 pound monster - that is terrifying.
And then there are other scenarios - you could be viewed as dinner. You could be dragged out of your tent.
They say it's rare, but that is CRAZY.
Sure, there are precautions you can take, but sometimes it just doesn't matter.
I don't know how rare it is, and I hope to do more in the northwest and some day even Alaska, but that is NOT the way I want to go out.
