From what I have read, our sailing is a little early for bears.
That being said, we're going to have enough snacks to pull them off your scent. We are going on a 5.5 - 6 hour excursion whale watching and to the glacier. There is no way my family will make it without provisions. We were going to pack our day bags with snacks from the ship.
We camped in Yosemite about ten years ago and the bears were VERY aggressive. A wrapping on a snack won't deter them - they broke into a car to get a muffin someone had left. But that was at night. And there's lots of fish to eat in Alaska if they are REALLY hu
Awesome - thanks! So just let me know when you guys arrive at the glacier with all your snacks to pull them off my trail and I'll be all set!! I'm going to go with just a few, which is what I usually do, for emergencies and if they come running I'll tell DH to ditch the backpack - lol.
I think we'll be gone at least 4 hours as well so I'll need something I'm sure during the trip.
Thanks - we are so close now
