How you can protect yourself from most bears
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska
Department of Fishing and Gaming is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen
to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears while in the field. The
department has posted the following notice:

We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as
not to startle any bears.

We also advise outdoorsmen to carry wrist rockets, and pepper spray with
them in case of an encounter with a bear.

It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity.

Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly
bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and
squirrel fur. Grizzly bear feces has little bells and pieces of wrist
rockets in it and smells like pepper.
