Also, I went on an amateur off-the-beaten-path camping trip with my cousin last year. I thought a bear was going to eat us at one point. Not something I'll be doing again that's for sure!
Ahaha yeah I've always had a fear of bears. Then once a year n half ago I was up in the mountains in BC near my town and I saw a massive black bear and nearly shit myself. Luckily my puppy Shepherd didn't notice the bear because she was off leash at the time.
My fear got worse after that incident because I realized how easy it was to encounter a bear. I haven't been to that same spot since. & only go on popular hiking trails. There is a trail that goes throughout all of Canada.
One day I will hike that trail when I am able to (no curfew) and have the money and resources needed to do the trip.
I am dying for an outdoor nature self exploration journey like that massive trail would be. Bring my German Shepherd and 1 or 2 close friends & some maybe some LSD/Magic Mushrooms and it would be a surreal experience.
I'm not going to lie though the thought of bear attacks really makes me scared. More so then just about anything.
It's interesting that you also had a bear dream before.
