Maybe you are thinking that a wilderness escape might just do the trick for you right now, helping you to take a break from the hustle and bustle of your daily life. You might be thinking about just getting out there and hiking, and camping along the way, enjoying nature to the fullest. After all, the escape you are searching for cannot be found at a campsite with running water! You need to get off the beaten path, journeying out into the unknown. The only problem with this plan, however, is that you would like to avoid bears if you can, and "off the beaten path" is generally where bears live. Because it is better to learn how to avoid bears by reading about it instead of learning through trial and error, here are a few tips for avoiding bears when you embark upon your great adventure. Ask questions: Seek out park rangers and guides at the place you decide to journey into, as these knowledgeable individuals will be able to tell you the spots that you should stay away from. After all, if anyone is going to know, it will be these experts. Create noise while you are hiking: You should know that bears do not enjoy being startled; you should also know that it is good to avoid doing things to bears that they do not enjoy! If you are taking this journey with a friend, try to keep your conversations loud. If you are not traveling with a friend, consider tying a couple bells to your backpack, so that you will announce your arrival just by walking. Keep your eyes open: Look for signs that bears have been around. Signs of bears include, of course, bear droppings, and also include trees with the bark rubbed off. If you come across these signs, it is time to think about picking a new area to travel through. Stay odor free: This does not mean your body odor (although that will probably be a problem too!), but this means the odor of your campsite. Try to cook foods that have little odor, and don't leave food out; try your best to keep an odor free tent by wearing clean clothes that do not smell like food, and by never bringing food inside your tent. Your great wilderness escape could be one of the greatest memories of your life; just make sure you set yourself up for life to continue after it is over! http://bluerose.jamesloving.com/
