I really enjoyed my reading, because I learned a lot about the bear behavior. This article gives information and advice which allows you to relax and know the best reactions for each situation. I was a little afraid about a bear attack, but I am not anymore after reading this article.
I think this article could be very good for everyone who likes go camping and/or hiking in Canada. Bear attacks are a real danger so it's important to know how to can react. It's a good article for people who are nervous to go hiking or camping because of bear presence.
