came across this whilst researching canadian trips

In the case of a close encounter in your campsite and you know it is a black bear, try to convince it to leave. Once you know the bear has a clear escape path where it won't encounter other humans, stand tall and look at the bear while saying "Get out of here bear" with a stern voice. Keep doing this until the bear leaves.

result; bear dinner

or keep out of its fooking way.

magnum, not the chocolate variety.

I posted the above caption as i was researching a north America trip (riding) I wanted to plan but bum me... the last three days I have read articles of bear or mountain lion attacks all over the place. My previous destination had been Peru until I watched a programme about kidnap by FARC or Shinning path rebels. They tend to chop you up if they cannot ransom you.Should I just stick to butlins?
