I'm guessing you meant to say harmless?
I have camped it bear country in a tent & sleeping bag where the bears came through the campground almost every night, trust me if bear ate people I would be bear poo by now {Of course bears are wild animals and have the ability to kill you so caution should be taken}
As said keep all food locked up tight (when camping in bear country we had to "tree"
all of our food every night. Stinky food is very attractive to them (bacon, fish, etc)
NEVER come between the cubs and mom!!!
Don't leave your dogs unattended!
