Why anyone would go into bear country with out a sidearm is beyond me.

Firearms are not legal in Canada except if you hunting. More than one oil worker has been killed by a bear in Alberta. If it was me and firearms were legal I would certainly carry a gun while hiking/camping.
Yes I agree OldE that confronting and facing the black bear is recommended but it does take guts to face off an aggressive black bear.
