The Alaskan Game & Wildlife people recently released the following bear advisory specifically for vehicle campers: Campers are warned that bear attacks are increasing. Campers should: 1. Attach small bells to the doors & pop-top of their Westie; 2. Always carry a can of pepper spray; & 3 Learn to distinguish the types of bear stool when selecting sites; (Black bear poo contains berries and smells like fish.) (Grizzly bear poo contains small bells and smells like pepper.) [Sorry, I couldn't resist!] . . .
