Public Service Announcement

If you are considering doing some camping this Spring and Summer, please note the following public service announcement:

In Alaska, tourists are warned to wear tiny bells on their clothing when hiking in bear country.

The bells warn away MOST bears (grizzly, black, etc.) but be careful because they don’t scare Kodiak/brown bears.

Tourists are cautioned to watch the ground on the trail, paying particular attention to bear droppings to be alert for the presence of Kodiak/brown bears.

One can easily spot a Kodiak/brown bear’s droppings. Those are the droppings that contain tiny bells.
