Camping in bear country

All those people in that study had a gun? That very much effects their confidence and how they carried themselves in the encounter. You will be more confident if you feel you have a good defense. Also a lot of people who carry a gun also take other steps to avoid ecounters. Kind of how less concealed carry people get mugged. Not because everyone knows they have a gun, but rather because they avoid those situations that would put them at higher risk.

Thanks for all the info! I'm going to look into some of the spots you mentioned as some of them are alredy on the list. Its difficult to really narrow down what we want to do when the area is so big and so much to see! I would really love to do some fishing and I was debating bringing a canoe along, just not sure if I want to haul it that far.
