Hi there!
Okay, this has been all very helpful. I knew that when encountering a bear, you were supposed to 1) Not Run, 2) Alert Others, 3) If the Bear Looks Threatening, Make Noise and Try to Appear Big.
Adding those three factors together translated to: Walk Away Calmly While Screaming and Waving Your Arms. [nods] :lol:
And thanks for letting me know that I can be there early.
