Haaaaay Bear, Haaaaaaay BEAR!!
The gigantic crashing of the brush was no more than a hundred yards in font of us in the Aspen grove. 3 big burly men, freaked out....not sure of what it was but what it could be
We showed up in Northwest BC with bear spray on our hips each day we hit the river. Still, when the woods were telling us something was there, I often wonder now if we would have had the training and gumption to use the bear spray we all held correctly and in time to deflect a bear charge.
Truth be told, we went on the trip and didn't pay a lot of attention on how to use the tool we took with us daily.
Maybe, the old adage an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
September 4th, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers of Washington in coordination with Defenders of Wildlife are presenting free bear spray training in Spokane. The first 30 to sign up will get a free canister of bear spray and holster.
I'm excited to be a part of this event, see you there!
Get more info via the training's FB event page
Lastly....join us for a Pint Night at the Screaming Yak after the training!
