An experienced traveler in bear country will show you how to avoid negative encounters with these amazing animals, the difference between Black and Grizzly Bears, how to react to a close encounter of the bear kind, and much more. This class is essential for those who plan to travel in the great bears home turf and is beneficial for hikers, backpackers, back country anglers and hunters alike.
