Biking Vancouver Island
Will I Still Get Eaten?!?!?!?
n about 6 months i am moving to north Vancouver Island.
In the time that i intend to stay there i plan on hiking, biking, along with other outdoor activities.
North Vancouver island has an abundant amount of Cougars, Brown and Black bears, and now even Grizzly Bears.
My Question is, can you recommend any other precautions in taking to avoid dangerous animal attacks and to stay safe?
When Hiking I Intend to have;
Hiking Backpack with speakers (to listen to music without headphones)
Food for long hikes (animals will possibly smell)
Bear Spray
Survival/hunting knife
GPS
Etc.
Also, My significant other has a Miniature american eskimo dog which she intends to walk through the forest. Just wondering if you also think this is a ridiculous idea…
Thanks for the Mature Input!!
Yes you sure will.
