Backcountry Bear Basics: Definitive Guide

Dave Smith is a bear expert who loves his subject, and it shows in his writing. He looks at many myths and provides facts about bears and their behavior. Smith’s goal in writing Backcountry Bear Basics: The Definitive Guide to Avoiding Unpleasant Encounters “goes beyond giving tips to make your trip to bear country safer; I want to make the world a better place for bears. Fortunately, these two objectives go hand in hand. I’m convinced that if we can accommodate bears in our world, it will be a better place for us to live, too.”
