[Vision2020] bears

[J Ford]

Best bet is to make sure you make PLENTY of noise while in the woods.  
Failing the ability to do that, playing dead does NOT always work.  For 
instance, the "Grizzly Man" was killed in his sleep as was his girlfriend.  
Both were in the wrong place at the wrong time, being very, very stupid - 
they had NO business being where they were - but still, were killed even 
when not openly posing a threat to the bear - who was later killed.
