Speaking about bears and such...on one occasion in the Yukon Territories, a grizzly swam aggressively behind the canoe I was in for several miles up the Yukon River. On another occasion, north of Whitehorse, I slept in a small, abandoned cabin that had a partially caved-in roof. I learned weeks later that the owner had been killed by a bear that had earlier been injured and then came *through* the roof in its attack. I also once camped at a public campsite in BC where a bear in attack mode would not leave for more than an hour even though 10 to 15 men in tight formation were banging pots and pans at it. Sometimes people get into bad bear situations not because of something they have or have not done, but because the bear was previously injured by another human.
