Oh man. This is quite a big concern of mine. If we cross one of these Grizzly Bears we will be dinner for sure.
Precautions that we have talked about are definitely carrying some pepper spray and we will obviously need a Bear Canister. we still need to look into this properly though. I am hoping we can rent one as they are around $150 which is crazy. So I will keep you updated on that. I also updated some of my equipment that I have bought so far. It isn't much as a lot of it will be bought in America. Btw my estimated arrival date in America is the 28th. March and I will spend a month with Sara (YAAAAY!!!!) preparing and doing some pre hikes.
I also looked into water filters today and have pretty much settles on the Sawyer squeeze mini. It seems to suit me fine. I am still deciding whether to take something else as a precaution or whether to save on the weight and rely on that. At the moment its the latter :) Lets see.
Much love, Pat
