14. Male human piss works for bears, not sure about other species.

I've camped in bear country for decades, never ever had a problem with bears, although I've seen a few near my campsite, but they always veered away.

Made it a point to urinate around the perimeter of my campsite -

Being a beer hound, didn't take long. And - save my overnight potty to spread around the perimeter.

NEVER had a bear venture close to that perimeter.

Also, until recently I lived on a farm for 6 years in a trailer without facilities, 50 feet away from my landlady's farmhouse. Anyhoo, I would empty my pee-pot in different places between my trailer, bird feeders and the bush. Again, never a bear anywhere near.

However, across the road are seven dwellings that constantly had bear problems, got so severe the game wardens put a trap in one yard directly across the road, and caught one bear.

The bears did not walk anywhere near the dwellings on the farm to get there - they walked AROUND them.

Coincidence??

I think not.
