It’s always a good idea to be aware of your surroundings….regardless of where you are. Here is an example of an elderly couple back in 2014 who was just leaving their house in Pasadena, California, where they were obviously comfortable, to do some errands. They never even saw the bear 15 feet away as they were walking out of their house…
And then…
Oblivious in-laws followed by curious bear. After Bob helped Irene into the car he felt something behind him and yelled “it’s a bear!” and then ran to the house. Everyone is safe.
So…yeah. Just be aware.
