We didn't really want to leave the hut: the temperature was about 10 degrees and a strong wind was driving clouds across the sky. We didn't find bears at the lake, but we learned that they were fishing in the river a few kilometers away. In the morning we set out to find our “actors”. Suddenly the sun came out! It became not just warm, but really hot. Five kilometers down the river we came across the first group of bears. We counted six, and they seemed to have noticed us too. Statistically, bears almost never attack groups of three or more, especially if they are standing or walking next to each other. Besides, the smell of three sweaty people can't compare to the scent of fresh fish, so soon the bears stopped paying attention to us.
