In Alaskas Tongass National Forest, a tour guide named James Varner was giving a talk to a group of tourists about hiking in grizzly bear territory: Most bear encounters occur when hikers, being extra quiet along the trails in hopes of viewing wildlife, accidentally stumble into bears. The resulting surprise can be catastrophic. To avoid this, he suggested that each hiker wear tiny bells on their clothing to warn the bears of their presence. Also, he said further, be especially cautious when you see signs of bears in the area, especially when you see bear droppings. One tourist( Don Hyde) asked, How do you identify bear droppings? Oh thats easy, the guide explained. Theyre the ones with all the tiny bells in them!
