Practical guidance for traveling through U.S. bear habitat
Bill Schneider’s compact wilderness-safety guide addresses the decisions surrounding hiking and camping where grizzly and black bears live across the United States. It covers bear encounters alongside preventive concerns, including food storage and campsite practices. Dedicated sections also consider how bear-country precautions may differ for women and for people pursuing activities such as hunting, fishing, mountain biking, and photography. Framed around backcountry travel, the book gathers its advice into a focused reference for planning and conduct in bear habitat.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Hikers and backpackers traveling in U.S. grizzly or black bear country
