I feel badly for the hurt kids but how could that NOT be lesson #1? When I was in the Boy Scouts and went on my first overnight hike in the San Gabriel Mountains over LOS ANGELES, CA, they taught us about bears — especially to give cubs a wide berth and let a scoutmaster know if we see cubs, as well as to string food on a high line to keep bears away and other strategies I don’t remember since it was so long ago.
Why didn’t these kids in wilderness Alaska given similar instruction as city kids from L.A.?
