When it comes to addressing the challenges of #wildfire , it’s important that nations support each other. Read the story of Jon Sutherland, a member of the Forest Service-funded tribal wildland fire module of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma:

Look out, Mountaineers! You’ve got some new, antlered neighbors in a herd of #elk that we’ve worked with @wvdnr to move from Land Between the Lakes next door in the Bluegrass State. Fear not, Kentuckians—there are still plenty of elk back home.

Having bear spray handy has shown to be the quickest and most reliable technique to stop a bear from attacking you. But remember, it doesn’t work like bug repellant. Never spray your tent, campsite or other possessions.
