What if there's a bear? If you're heading into the wilderness, this question will definitely come up. Don't cancel your trip because of bears. However, you should know safety precautions:
1⃣ In most cases, the animal will do everything possible to avoid an encounter. Aggressive behavior can occur among females with cubs or males during the mating season.
2⃣ A bear will avoid a large group. Don't separate from the group.
3⃣ Seen cubs? Your first reaction is not to be overly charmed and grab your phone, but to leave.
4⃣ If you notice signs of an animal's presence or the animal itself from a distance, start making loud noises. Loud and sharp sounds are essential: for example, slamming a spoon on a metal plate.
5⃣ Face-to-face with a bear at close range? Don't turn your back or run. Back away slowly, looking at the animal, and speak loudly. You can put your backpack on the ground between you.
6⃣ Always obey your guide and follow his commands.
