From a sign [Allegedly] posted at Fort Steele campground, British Columbia:

WARNING

Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work-related function to take extra precautions when in the field.

We advise outdoorsmen to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advance warning to bears that might be close by so that you do not take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry “Pepper Spray” with him in case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh signs of bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear sh1t has bells in it and smells like pepper.
