I tried to make a clear distinction that this article only applies to black bears. But maybe you are right and from the readers point of view it's not clear and I should clarify that this article applies to black bears only, and not grizzly or brown bears. Hi John,

I have had them walk by my campsites, and they've never bothered me. Of course, I have used proper bear-bag precautions. One thing the article didn't say, however, is that whatever it said about black bears DOES NOT APPLY to grizzly bears or brown bears (which are in Alaska and western Canada). These bears can be highly aggressive AND carnivorous. VERY different from black bears. I enjoyed the black bear article; very objective.

Apostle Islands Manitou Island in Jene 2008. I could not scare the bear out of camp. Shouting, signal whistling, rock throwing. When I took two chunks of firewood and started drumming the bear box, he actually strolled closer and had a seat. Just my luck a "deadhead" bear. I loaded the yak and moved on. They closed that campsite for the rest of the season only one close bear encounter in years of camping. Apostle Islands Manitou Island in Jene 2008. I could not scare the bear out of camp.
