Imagine
that you’re putting out your campfire with water, which
you used to cook a delicious dinner of fried fish. Suddenly,
you spot a huge Grizzly Bear, standing on its back feet, a
few feet in front of you. Grrr! You stand up slowly and then
freeze like a statue. Step-by-step, the bear walks closer
to you…But then it walks past you, towards your uncovered
Coleman cooler. The Grizzly pokes its head into the cooler
and retrieves its catch of the day: a foot-long salmon.
When camping, remember that wild bears aren’t like
Yogi Bear. Instead of taking your picnic basket, wild bears
could take your life! Following some basic advice can prepare
you for a camping trip as well as an fhi flat iron can prepare
you for the day.
Think like a bear
As camping and residential areas push deeper into the wilderness,
the worlds of bears and humans will continue to clash. Bears
annually do a significant amount of damage to human campground
property. Though they rarely attack humans, it could result
in injury or even death. Still, certain human behavior can
allow you to enjoy your camping trip after using one of the
fhi
hair straighteners, while living in harmony with the huge
furry creatures:
1. Do not attract bears. As the saying goes, “An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Bears might
not be attracted to the lovely work that your Chi
Flat Iron did, but they are attracted to anything they
can eat, or anything with a strong scent. For campers, that
mainly includes food and garbage. You can keep bears away
by taking these steps:
• When going hiking or camping with your children, always
keep an eye on them, and teach them what steps to take if
they meet a bear.
• After cooking and eating, clean up your Coleman grill,
all cooking utensils, any scrap pieces of food, and even the
clothing you wore while cooking!
• Though your fhi flat iron is bear-proof, secure perishable
foods in sturdy, bear-resistant Coleman coolers, and all food
in the trunk of your car or truck. If you cannot store food
in a vehicle or building, place it in a tree that is at least
10 feet above ground, a minimum of four feet from the trunk,
and atop a branch that has a diameter less than four inches.
• Secure all garbage bags and place lids over garbage
cans. Never burn or bury extra food, as bears can actually
pick up its scent.
2. Do not feed bears. Bears naturally fear humans. But once
you feed a bear, the bear will create a link between all humans,
and food. So when the natural fear of humans is gone, it is
more likely that the creatures could become more violent towards
humans.
3. Do not flee from bears. Bears are natural predators, so
if you run from them it may seem natural for them to pursue
you. Plus, they’re faster than humans are. It’s
better to be standing, face the bear, make subtle eye contact
with it, and provide it enough room to walk around you. Give
yourself a chance to return home and use one of the FHI
Runway Iron.
4. Do not move towards bears. Bears generally dislike conflicts.
Give the bear enough room to maneuver around you to, to escape. In today’s world, the world of humans and wild animals
seem to be constantly merging. But you can still bear-proof
your camping trip, using tools such as Coleman coolers. Keep
your camping trip fun and safe, so you can return home to
the luxury of your fhi hair straightener. |
