Black bear are not hunters.... and attacks are rare. Scrapes that do happen usually involve babies. Black bear are more likely to attack your ice chest than you, if they wander in to camp.

Brown bears, Kodiaks and Grizzlies, are quite different, and their mileage varies.
Drat, should have waited for your response first!!
Makes sense. Thanks for the tidbits!
