  • The National Association of Bear Attacks (NABA) suggests wearing a hard hat and extra pairs of underwear when hiking in bear country.

    NABA also recommends that if you are attacked by a bear you should seek immediate medical attention and avoid further bear attacks.

    NABA recommends that each hiker memorize these essential bear dont's.

    DON'T - cuddle bears

    DON'T - attempt to arm wrestle a bear

    DON'T - wear meat scented cologne

    DON'T - check bears for cavities

    DON'T - try to ride a bear
