In my endeavor to plan as much as possible I have been reviewing two things:
1. Where have most bear attacks occurred.
2. What measures can be taken to prevent becoming a meal.
In response to question number 1:
List of fatal bear attacks in North America, listed by decade.
In response to prevention, I have found that scientists and backcountry outfitters are using portable electric fencing. Since I will be carrying a pack animal I can carry the electric fence items. I am trying to find take-down, step-in, poles, so I can carry something shorter than 4' in length. I don't think a longer post would carry very well. I may have to make something, or have it made, from fiberglass.

Hi GW,
You might want to check out some electric fence kits. Zareba Systems has a nice kit for horses that is portable and runs on 4 D Cell batteries. Check it out here.... http://www.zarebasystems.com/products/kits_equine.aspx
You could put your own kit together as well... good luck with your ride!
