Living in a town where bears roam around more lately, would you still go for walks? The locals do. The thing is that I don't have a vehicle and just walk places with my 2 little ones if husband is out of town and takes our car. This year is awful berries wise so bears are just hungry. Bears don't even care about noise or seeing people. I feel absolutely terrible keeping my little ones indoors all day long. My husband has to travel lots so those are quite a few days just the three of us here. I am even wondering if there is something I could wear, a kind of structure where I pull a string and something could pop up making me look huge. I feel like the worst mama ever, just keeping our kiddos inside. Even going to the playground behind our place makes me nervous.

Buy bear spray and practice with it.

>>2836318Taking a toddler and a baby with me would make me nervous to use bear spray and have some land on them.
>>2836317Bear spray is the way to go. >>2836323So what? Your baby will cry for a bit, like it doesn't do that anyway. Bear spray isn't going to cause any lasting harm.
