Black bears are very rarely aggressive. It's usually safe to stand your ground and wait for them to leave. However, there's nothing wrong with you turning around and leaving as well, though I'm not sure if actually running from them might invoke some sort of predator instinct. They're pretty timid animals.

Tigren posted:A buddy and I are going to be doing 3 days and 2 nights in California's second largest state park, Henry Coe SP. We'll do about 45 miles and stop at two lakes. Thankfully we will be out by Sunday afternoon. Henry Coe is awesome, but every time I've gone there I've run into tons of poison oak and ticks. Keep an eye out!

khysanth posted:Planning on a Joshua Tree NP camping trip this Halloween weekend and wanted to know any preferences you goons had for campsites and hikes. I've been once before and we stayed at Jumbo Rock which was pretty solid. We did some nearby trails and Ryan Mountain. If you can find a campsite there, White Tank is great. Otherwise, Jumbo Rocks is the next best thing. As for hikes, the Boy Scout Trail is fun, and Lost Palms Oasis is pretty.

You can get tarptents that weigh well under a pound, if you want a tarp + bug netting. If you don't care about bug netting, you can go even lighter. You can also get a bivy sack, which is almost like a tent but smaller and lighter.

Can you just give your dog an old sleeping bag?

I use a Sansa Clip for my audiobooks. It's pretty much perfect for hiking.
