------------------------ Funny, but Steve, N7VS, comments are quite true! The best way to avoid bears is to help them avoid us. In bear country, one of the most dangerous things one can do is take a really quiet hike along a trail, especially when walking into the wind, or sit for long periods under a tree wearing the earbuds while hamming on a KX1. Almost every bear out there hates the idea of interacting with humans, much less taking a bite out of one, but they aren't going to stand for being surprised in "their" territory. They're downright human-like in their reaction to being surprised, only they're so much bigger and stronger that we are it's no contest (and if the bear you find isn't bigger than you, be sure that momma is and she's coming on the double!). It really makes for much safer portable operation if you make a little racket now and again so the wildlife will know that you're around. Maybe we need wildlife tips in the KX1 operator's instructions <G>.
