The footprints were huge! I think a few people in my group were a bit nervous. And then again when we actually saw the bear up ahead. But they have seen me in action for about a week already, and trust me, so nobody ran!

👌👍
But did you have a weapon to defend against the bears?
When my friend worked as a geologist in the Khabarovsk taiga, they each had a gun in case they encountered a bear.
No guns, but I carry bear spray, flares, and air horns. Best defense though is being in a big group, and not surprising the bears.
This is already good!
