[pct-l] SPOT, Bears, and cats (east coast backpacker)

[patti kulesz]

the SPOT is awesome! some peeps I know used it last year and we tracked them all thru the hike...as soon as I get the money I'm getting one. More for my friends and family than me...only thing is it doesn't get reseption when ur in caves or anything like that so stay out of the bear dens..lol

The bears and cats are more afraid of u than u are of them...just make LOTS of noise...make urself look bigger by holding ur pack over ur head...and give them ur food if they come toward u asking for it..JK. Don't run! This will make them chase u...we're talking cats afterall...as for the bears I couldn't tell u if they chase or not. Never seen one dammit!

Section hiking from Tahoe south through the park this summer.  In three day incriments.  Easy easy.   AT section hiker.   NJ NY CN.  

How are the bears out here?  And I don't have any experience with cats?

I am hiking alone.  My hiker friends are suggesting a thing called 
SPOT
Lets people back in the world know where you are and that everything is fine.  Seems like a good idea, and the price is right.

Any one have any experience with this quasi-cell phone?
