In a non enclosed space out in the middle of nowhere you’d never see a bear, because it would intentionally evade the very smell of a person. They can smell like 10 maybe even 25 miles, you’d never know a bear was with you.
Bears hate humans, all types of bears.
It’s just most bears really love trash, and trash is where humans are.
But even as a dude I wouldn’t want to be stuck with another random dude instead of a bear. Honestly anyone that would choose a human over a bear is either a little suspect or just has zero knowledge of nature right when that’s going to be very important.
Anybody who wouldn’t be a liability in the wilderness picks bear.
