Warn me when a bear is close
Share your location and WildWatch flags any uncleared report within 2 miles, with the distance. Your position stays on your phone — it is never uploaded or shown to anyone.
Make noise on the trail
Helps bears know you're here, so they can move off before you meet. Not a substitute for bear spray. If a bear is close, stay calm, back away slowly, and call 911 if you're in danger.
This plays a loud sound. Turn your volume down first and keep the phone away from your ears and anyone else's.

Today's safety tip
Answer her with a gentle voice
A surprised bear is asking who you are and whether to be concerned. Speak softly — "It's okay bear… you're good, you're good" — hold still, keep your words few, and slowly go back the way you came. (Ellie, BearKind.ca)
