Why does this remind me of the story about repelling grizzly bears?
To avoid grizzlies it's recommended that a hiker wear little bells to alert the bears that they are on the trail and won't surprise the bears. To repel the aggressive grizzly pepper spray should be carried.
One can tell if grizzlies are in the area by the scat they leave. Grizzly scat often has little bells in it and smells something like pepper spray...
