I still have my 1965 "Boy Scout Handbook". I haven't looked at it in years, I need to get it out and read it again.

Boy Scout handbook? Meh. Horace Kephart's Camping and Woodcraft is where it's at!

"Boy Scout Handbook"

I remember reading a section on dealing with bears. I recall the advice was to climb a tree. Brown/black bears are among the world's greatest tree-climbing animals. I wonder what other bad advice the book had concerning the great outdoors. But to be fair to the bears, brown and black bears are more likely to flee at the sight of humans. Grizzlies and Alaskan brown bears are another matter.
