Reviews

[Van Reese]

This was a brief, cut to the chase, yet fairly interesting book about.....being aware of bears. Even better, it also has useful information about avoiding bears.

#preparation for life in bear country 🫡 v informative tho learnt lots !!

[Dan]

Some good information for complete beginners, but some of this information is outdated or flat out wrong. Instantly knocked off one star for even mentioning bear bells as a useful tool. You'd be much better off reading something written by an animal behaviorist such as Stephen Herrero.
