A9: How to avoid a surprise bear encounter: Stay alert. Hike with others. Store food properly. Avoid known bear trails. Be visible. Make noise, quoting #GoT loudly or singing to @Beyonce is optional. #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A9) Keep up the conversation! Talking and clapping every so often in bear country is our technique. We really don't want to surprise a bear. #parkchat

A9. The “yo bear” song is a classic! Bringing flares, a horn, and plenty of bear spray for our Backcountry adventures in AK this summer #parkchat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A9) Be aware of your surroundings, check the trail for fresh tracks & broken branches, don't be quiet like you're sneaking up on someone & avoid having food that could attract them. #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A9: Best not to surprise the bear. That’s a start. 😁 Singing helps. They will scatter when they hear my crooning. #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A9 - a “safe” way to visit and photograph bears is at nature preserves like Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Girdwood - #ParkChat
