Black bears are often the most unjustly feared animals for hikers and backpackers. I propose, based off of the most comprehensive research available, that we all take a deep breath and reexamine this wilderness creature and ourselves. Only after we understand bear behavior can we establish their true demeanor and intent with humans.

00:25 - The punch line: we are not bear food
