Hikers should learn the difference between black bear and grizzly scat so you can identify what kind of animals are around you in the woods.

Basically, the difference is the black bear scat looks like regular bear scat while the grizzly bear scat is sort of like regular bear scat but smells like hot peppers.

Oh great, just when I was thinking my bear spray canister is probably older than it should be...... It's expensive. Bear spray isn't all that should be packed in case you're hiking in grizzly or black bear territory. Cell phones don't work in the far back country.....

When I go hiking I carry a can of bear spray on one hip and a .45 on the other.

As Jayne said on Serenity, "I just get excitable as to choice...like to have my options open."

Naah...the real test is to clime a tree.
If it climbs up after you it’s a black bear.
If it pushes the tree over, it’s a grizzly.

Need a pair of overalls with 160 straps, one for each can, all set to spray at the same time, sort of like a suicide muslim.
