in our case it was bears that was the big concern.. Grizzlies and Blacks, with the former being the biggest issue. On the way down we found spoor for what seemed like bears, however we heard a bunch of howling in the vicinity and weren't sure exactly what was up.
so, GTFO was top priority. funny thing about antibear shit (had to walk up holding mace), is it really seems more for your peace of mind than to actually repel anything. It had mandatory bear caches there, which was also not so much fun when you're both depositing and collecting, as it's a ways from your campsite and basically bear bait. so one guy is armed with mace etc, other guy has all gear, and you have a long tight-ass wait as he hangs it from a tree
