Your elders were wrong, Yéil. A bear can come out of nowhere with no signs to read. I've seen fresh grizzly crap, too, and then remembered I wanted to be somewhere else; but you won't always see sign. And if you run, you'd better be sure you can get to your desination ahead of the bear. A bear can outrun most things with 4 legs for a short distance. We only have 2 legs. Not much chance without a good head start and safety not far off.
