Re: Flashlights as a Deterrent against wild animal
Defense against bears. In Glacier National Park the rangers recommend both carrying pepper spray and also wearing small bells so that the bears can hear you coming and move out of the way. It avoids suprising a bear.
They also say it helps to know the difference between the black bear and the grizzly by their scats so you can be aware of who is in the area.
The black bear scats contain a lot of berries and fur of small mammals. The grizzly scats, on the other hand, often contain small bells and smell like pepper.
