Tips During Bear Tours With A Group

By Claudine Hodges


It is always fun to spend quality time with your loved ones. It is a popular means of recreation and relaxation. There are many things we can do to while together but among the best ways is to go out and do something unique from time to time.

One activity that is gaining popularity at present is this thing called bear watching. This is where you go to place that is known for bear sightings and watch them from a certain location with your guides. Services like the Juneau bear tours arise because of the demand of the people to do the activity with the permission of the local officials of the place.

So if you think you want to give it a try, then better be prepared. Just like any out of town activity the you might have done, this also requires preparation not only because you are going away from home. You need to prepare because unlike other forms of recreation, you are dealing with bears. And everything that involves bears are sensitive. So to ensure that you have a fun and hassle free activity, take time to consider the guide below.

Dress right. This is not just any type of tour where you can be as casual as you like. Yes you can wear jeans and short. But be sure you bring some spare clothing with you. Depending on the area where you will do the watching, you may have to strictly stick to rubber shoes and cargo pants. If the weather is hot, consider bringing a hat with you as well.

Second, place your foods somewhere safe. Do not just leave those snacks unattended on the driver or passenger seat. There is no guarantee that they will be safe from animal theft even if you lock the car windows. Keep in mind that bears have a strong sense of smell and are physically capable of breaking those glass windows. The best place to store your foods when you leave your vehicle is the trunk.

Three, avoid getting close to the bear. Watching these huge animals does not mean you have to sit beside them and watch them eat whatever they find interesting. There is an appropriate distance where you can view them. This is why cameras and telescopes may be a good part of your to pack gadgets. Getting closer might threaten them and may put you in danger.

Do not run away. If you do encounter one at a very close situation, do not ever think of running. Even if your instincts tell you to do so, just do not. You will lose. They run faster than you do and if you run first, they will interpret this as fleeing and will most likely come after you.

Fifth, bring with you a can of bear spray. This should only be used in desperate situations. The material used for this product is created to shun them away once you spray it on their eyes. Unless you desperately need to have this, better keep it safe in your backpack.

Given the right preparation, the activity will surely be a great one for you and your family. Start planning now to check the necessary things you need for the trip. The more people who will go with you, the bigger the preparation.
