Not a good way to start a camping trip with the wife.
I would have asked, even if my wife hit me. :)

He is correct the bells are not a natural sound. They are more likely to make bears( or any predator ) more curious then scared. Also trying to be quiet makes you sound like prey, while crunching leaves and snapping twigs or branches makes it sound like you don't care. If you don't care....in the bears mind there is a good reason.Quote:
