I must add here that I did not hit a bear in the snout with my Maglite.

Not this trip anyway.

It is one of those things that can happen and on occasion does happen and you plan around the fact that eventually you will have a close encounter with bears if you camp in their habitat.

I did smack one somewhere in the shout region with a hiking boot once, about 15 years ago up in our eastern mountains. That was also done through the tent wall.

That same year, in the region I was visiting, a less than alert camper had a mess of Barbeque ribs slathered in sauce, which he got all over his clothes, then climbed into his hammock for a nap.

Two of the local bears shared him as an afternoon snack.
