Sign at a Campground in British Columbia, Canada...
W A R N I N G !
Due to the frequency of human-Bear encounters the British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising, hikers, hunters, fishermen and others that use the outdoors in a recreational or work related manner to take extra precautions while in the field.
We advise outdoorsmen to wear small but noisy bells on the clothing so as to alert bears that are close by so that you do not 'take them by surprise'.
We further advise that you carry 'pepper spray' in case of a close encounter with a bear.
OUtdoorsmen should also be on the lookout for recent bear activity and be able to tell the difference between Black Bear feces and Grizzly Bear feces.
Black bear feces is smaller and contains evidence of berries.
Grizzly Bear crap on the other hand is larger, contains small bells and smells like pepper!
