We also know the importance of being prepared for unexpected bear and wildlife encounters. Our goal is to assist Yellowstone National Park shift the mindset of visitors from one of reluctance to one of rea

diness when it comes to carrying bear spray. In due time, carrying bear spray will be as commonplace as wearing sunscreen to a beach, or buckling a seatbelt when driving, everyday precautions that were a rarity not too long ago. Bear Aware is committed to promoting the safe viewing of wildlife from proper distances, what to do in the event of a wildlife encounter, and how to be best prepared when exploring Bear Country. Wildlife that becomes habituated to humans are relocated to an unfamiliar location which can be detrimental to the animal. Also, when a bear attacks a human, the bear is often tracked and killed. When a person takes and follows the "I Am Bear Aware Pledge," there is a greater chance humans and wildlife will remain safe and unharmed.

The bear got those laffy taffy moves.

Hiking in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier National Parks or anywhere in Grizzly Country with a speaker or earbuds is not it. Not a rule, nobody’s citing you, it’s just a bad call. Your ears are one of the only heads up you get out there. Brush moving, a huff, somebody yelling around the bend. Music playing means you catch none of it.

Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier, anywhere in grizzly country. Keep an ear on the woods.

Save this one. Send it to your friend who hikes with both AirPods in.

Almost everybody we hand a can of bear spray to thinks it works like mace. It doesn’t.

Bear spray works basically like a fire extinguisher, but spicy. It dumps a huge cloud into the air and the bear runs into it. Wide, fast, covers ground. You aim in front of the bear, not at it.

And yeah, the stuff is potent. EPA caps it at 2% major capsaicinoids. Your keychain pepper spray is around 1% to 1.3%.

Ever cut jalapeños and then rubbed your eye? Multiply that, by A LOT!

The people who get in trouble aren’t always the ones who forgot their spray. It’s the ones who had it, panicked, and tried to aim it like a pistol.

If you’re hiking Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier, anywhere in grizzly country, learn this before you need it.

Save it. Send it to whoever’s coming with you.

Yeah, I would’ve too! Reminder, bears can be anywhere at any time here in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks! Also, out here, bikes are strictly prohibited on every backcountry and hiking trail in the Parks with the exception of multi-use pathways… bears can be on the pathways too, so still carry bear spray!
