>Hi! I'm a lurker who's going to be on the JMT soon. Reading all of the

>I carried a bearcan inside my pack during a recent trip to Big Bend, TX,
>with no problem. However the bears at Big Bend (had a mother & cub cross
>the trail about 20yds in front of us -- they acted somewhat indifferent...)
>don't appear to be anywhere near as smart or aggressive as those on the
JMT.
>I can't remember if we were down/upwind of the bears -- that didn't
>even cross our minds at the time!

>Thanks!
