Bear safe?
Indeed it is.
I always feel very safe up there, food and almost every thing else is locked in the cool metal Bear box, storage shed and cook top at every site up there.
I do make some noise in sections where visibility is limited by trees or terrain, and Ive got a canister of Frank's Red Hot bear dissipater handy.
Never had any encounters with bear on foot up there.
By boat yes, they generally don't want anything to do with you. That said, Big Beaver camp just up the lake another 4 miles is infamous for bear activity.
They hide just out of camp and wait for you to leave, rip in grab anything you left sitting out and vamoose with it.
Generally you can smell them, just make noise and stick to the trail.
I think I'm big and stringy enough cats aren't interested. Lots of deer at times, almost to the point of being pests.
Went back and watched the posted video again, some how the conversion from project stage to MP4 lost at least a couple photos.
By Jove, that is odd.
They are still showing in the project, kicked these out, probably trying to save me the embarrassment of selfieism
