Don’t mention it, sure thing Ted! you’re absolutely right, but it’s often the little things coming together that truly make a difference. Thanks so much for your support, Ted—have an amazing weekend!

I’ve always worn black or navy blue (most of my life….paired with white shirts in the office, but usually a black shirt and slacks or jeans).

I can also stand remarkably still. I suggest I look like a tree or harmless object, not human.

Thank you for the ‘fishing vest’ mention. . It’s the little things that make photography a bit easier.

Here, so many people buy into the use of “bear bells” to keep bears aware of humans nearby. I have heard that bells just make bears curious and they will come to investigate. I think there is one joke around that goes something like Question – How can you identify bear scat? Answer – It smells like pepper and has bells in it. 😀

Hi Allan,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I completely understand that you can’t apply the same rules on every continent—and that makes perfect sense. Here in Belgium, for example, we don’t have bears, so if I lived in your region, I’d have to adapt my approach as well.

That said, I do hear some familiar complaints, like people making too much noise and not respecting nature. So while habits and ways of interacting with the environment may differ, there’s always some common ground.

Thanks for sharing how things are in your part of the world—it’s great to learn from each other. Take care, Allan, and my very best to you and your family.
Marc

All good tips, for sure Marc. We encounter many walkers along our walks who use the hikes to catch up with their fellow walkers as loudly and as quickly as possible. Once we hear them coming, we know that not even birds or squirrels will stick around, let alone deer. They are surprised to hear what we had already seen, as they see nothing. That being said, we must also walk a fine line. If there is a bear in the area, we are noise makers, frequently calling out Hey Bear and whistling. We don’t mind seeing them from a distance, but have no desire to get up close and personal. We also carry bear spray. In hunting season, we wear orange, so trigger happy hunters do not mistake us for their prey. And on those cold clear crisp winter days, all bets are off, as you can’t stop the snow from squeaking as you walk. Wishing you many more sightings. Allan
