any old excuse will do huh?



no, if you anticipate going ashore in wilderness areas of Canada, do keep in
mind that the locals are mindful of bear. There is a reason for that.

Also there is a reason the State of Alaska requireds weapons on small aircraft
that venture outside limited areas.

If it bothers you, just take care not to go ashore, or if you do do so only
when you are sure no bear might be present, paticularly bear with cubs.



What kind of bear? Most black bears are harmless, and are afraid of
people.




Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways.
