According to experts and wildlife enthusiasts, there are certain preventative measures that can reduce the chance of an undesirable encounter. When exploring territories known for bear activity, it’s always a good idea to travel in groups.
Larger gatherings tend to deter bears from approaching. Alongside this, being vocally active or making deliberate noises helps alert bears to human presence, minimizing the surprise factor. Silence, in this case, is not golden; the less noise you make, the higher your risk.
