You are safer in a group. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Make Noise.

No headphones! <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Carry bear spray. Have it accessible and know how to use it. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Don\u2019t feed bears.
