That is very good advise for photographers in Alaska.   If you spend enough
time in the wilderness in Alaska YOU WILL come in contact with rather large
bear.  And sooner or later you may be confronted with the situation that the
bear would prefer your space...no matter what space you choose.   You will
then want every option available....and hopefully you and the bear will pass
without harm (and in that order I might add).

Just a thought
