Good advice especially the whistle. I have had a bear right behind me on the trail and luckily had a horn that frightened him away.

Thanks for your thoughtful lens. Many years ago at a outdoor breakfast with my family I wandered off and got lost and stuck on a hill. Fortunately there was a scout camp at the park and they found me and helped me down. A simple wistle would have been a great help that morning.
