exactly. last summer, near Kalispell MT I think.. a tent-sleeping camper or two were attacked right in their tents at night.. one person killed for sure. I think it was a mama bear and two cubs .. but right smack in a normally-feels-safe national forest campground I believe.

that would be an interesting way to go .. attacked and killed right in your tent by a bear. Probably chewed on , if not drug off and partially eaten too.

'mostly' bears don't attack humans unprovoked... but there are exceptions. I think they were grizzlies.
