Bezzin-
h they have serious bears in Canada don't they. I'd want some bear spray for up there!
Apparently having a dog is the best form of defence. Bears are shit scared of them.
I'm no bear expert but i'd say that having a dog, bear spray and two firearms was probably a bit of overkill although my friend has had a near miss with an angry bear before so perhaps her mind has been focussed more than most!
I remember coming across a tree that had been torn to shreds by a bear sharpening its claws. Was an amazing thing to see. And then my brain suddenly panicked that it could be nearby still. I damn near shat myself.

Aaaah. Makes sense now. Was also wondering why they were so heavy on your list!
Last time I went climbing in Canada my Canadian friend bought bear spray, a pair of .45 Beretta carbines and a dog!
