Best advice is to wear little bells, so the bears know you're coming, and carry bear spray. It also helps to be able to identify scat. Black bear scat has undigested bits of berries and twigs. Grizzly bear scat smells like bear spray and has little bells in it.

Over 7 million people at over 2,700 events (and counting) spoke out from communities as small as Marietta, OH (where approximately 1,000 from the area attended) to New York, Boston and Chicago, at #NoKings rallies against this fascist regime and the GOP. @jd-vance-1.bsky.social & Trump = butthurt.
