Whe you quickly look at gear ad simply tell them that it is ot ay good or ot eeded, you may seriously h irt some feeligs. ALWAYS give each Scout ad adult your idividual attetio ad carefully explai thereaso why some items may ormay otbe eeded. Whe items are iadequate or missig, be sesitive whe suggestig that they make purchases atthetradig ost. May Scouts are o a limited budget.

As you go through the list (the packig list from the Guidebook to Adveture), each crew member moves that particular item to the empty halfof the groudcloth/cot. Be sure to move aroud ad check each item for each crew member. 4. Each perso should keep a list of items eeded at the Tradig ost. Whe you are fiished, each perso should have a list ad two piles. Oe pile goes o the trail, oe pile stays behid. NEVE tell a crew member that he or she caot brig a item o the trail that is icluded o the packig list.

The oly type ofbear we have athilmot is the black bear (Ursus americaus). These bears are less aggressive, smaller, ad have the ability to climb. The best defese of the black bear is to ru ad climb. Grizzly bears, however, arevery aggressive, larger ad their best defese p] is a good offese; thus they are more likely to attack. Black bears have a variety of color patters which ca rage from brow or ciamo to I i blode or true black. Bears make use of a variety of vegetatio types but certai habitat requiremets must remai costat. Adequate food, water, space, cover, p ad the proper arragemets of these compoets is ecessary i all vegetatio types to providegood bear habitat. iparia areas (those *> areas of vegetatio associated with water) are especially importat to,, bears. Not oly do they provide ecessary water, but they also support a abudat ad diversefood supply. These same areas are where may p] of our camps here at hilmot are located. Bears are omivorous which meas they will eat both plat ad aimal material. They are also opportuistic ad will eat aythig that is i i available to them. Bears eat may utritious grasses i the sprig ad early summer which are located ear riparia areas. As the summer I I progresses, grass becomes less utritious ad their diet chages to iclude more isects ad tree material. I late summer, fruits ad berries ripe ad cotribute to much of their diet. As fall approaches, the acors of oak trees become essetial to the bear. Bears will also eat carrio (dead aimal material) at ay time ad are very capable of killig youg p deer faws or elk calves. The ager Fieldbook 36 hilmot Scout ach il

43 The etire motive for bears to eat such a variety of foods is to achieve a level of health which will allow them to survive their deep witer sleep. Thus they select foods high i carbohydrates, protei ad fats. Trail food cotais all ofthese i high quatities. Therefore, sice bears are opportuistic, we must work costatly to prevet bears from obtaiig our food ad garbage. It should be oted that bears are active at all times durig the day ad ight so at o time ca we thik we are safe from the possibility of a bearobtaiig our food or smellables. If a bearis able to get food or other smellablesout ofa tet, backpack, diig fly, etc., these itelliget creatureswill likely associate the food it obtaied with the object. Thus, the ext time the bear comes ito cotact with the same object (pack, tet, etc.) It may thik it cotais food of the same sort. The the chace exists that the bear will damage equipmet tryig to obtai food agai. At this poit the bear will retur to the same area ad become a uisace. If this cotiues, the bear may have to be trapped ad relocated to a ew area from which it may retur i a short period oftime. Ifthe relocatio is successful the chaces of the bear survivig are highly reduced. If the relocatio is ot successful the bear may have to be killed. Black bears are solitary except for a shorttime durig the breedig seasoofjue ad July or whe a mother (sow) has cubs. I geeral, black bears average about 30 iches high at the shoulder whe o all fours ad6 feet whe stadig o the hid legs. Adult females average 150 pouds ad males about 275 pouds. A "bear year" begis with emergece from the witer de i March or April. Cubs are bor i the de i latejauary or early February. They typically weigh oly 8 ouces at birthadthe litterswill rage from 1-3 but ted to average 2. Upo emergece from the de, the cubs will be up to 6 pouds ad will urse from their mother util Jue while learig to forage for other foods. Bears go ito hiberatio i late October ad durig the 4-5 moths ofhiberatio they will ot eat or drik, but rely o the fat stored from the previous sprig, summer, ad fall foragig. They also do ot elimiate waste material while deig. The cubs will de with the mother oce agai i the fall ad ca weigh from pouds.

44 Iteractios betwee humas ad bears will happe. There are may bears at hilmot due tosuch great habitat that the rach provides. Additioally, hilmot has 18,000+ visitors over a time period of three moths ad the bears get used to seeig people. Therefore, they become less frighteed of people. Whe a ecouter does happe: huddle together i a large group ad make huma oises.

Smellables, as listed i this field book, should ALWAYS be p^ hug whe ot immediately beig used. Coservatio sites ad side hikes are key times ofopportuity for bears ad thus bags should be hug.

Do ot throw rocks, use flash bulbs, approach, or go close to a bear. A mother bear with cubs is very protective ad easily provoked. Give them a wide berth. Never risk ijury by attemptig to save your food or gear. Both ca be replaced if ecessary. If a bear approaches your campsite ( yards away), make loud oises, bag pots ad pas to discourage it from comig closer. If a bear eters your campsite, gatheryour crew ad quickly leave the area util the bear is goe. If you awake with a bear curiously examiig you, do ot play dead ad do ot strike the bear. Talkig with a calm toe of voice will let the bear kow you are alive ad well. If the bear is several feet away, you may be able to slip out of your sleepig bag ad retreat. uig may provoke a bear. If possible, back away slowly. Moutai Lios The moutai lio, also kow as cougar, pather, or puma, is tawy-colored with black-tipped ears ad tail. Adult males may be more tha 8 feet log from ose to ed of tail, ad geerally weigh betwee 130 ad 150 pouds. Adult females ca be 7 feet log ad weigh betwee 65 ad 90 pouds.

Beware of the "If I ca't see it, it's ot there" metality. The solid fact that people have bee ijured by bears at hilmot will facilitate the overall cocept that bears are a dager to be take seriously.

ANGEING; CEWS AND GENDE ISSUES Most crews respect peopleas people ad are ot blatatly sexist. Some crews, for various reasos, do require some toe settigwhe it comesto dealig with female staff. They may try to makefemale agers prove themselves, or eve throw outtotally iappropriate commets. The first thig to remember is that o oe has to tolerate sexual harassmet. ager leadership ad the hilmot Admiistratio are there ad willig to help. agers ca talk with all crewsabout treatig everyoe as equals. It is ot ecessary todiscuss sexism with allcrews, most could just usea geeral discussio about respect of others. For those crews that eedto be talked to specifically, it is best to stress professioalism, so that all people uderstad that ayoe who is hired ad traied at hilmot isjustas qualified ad has thesame geeral kowledge as ayoe else o staff. Ay iappropriate commets about wome should beaddressed quickly ad with decorum. emarks ca escalate ad become damagig. Aager should show support for all other agers ad staff, ad show how they all trust adhave cofidece i each other. Although ager Leadership is willig to step iad help i ay difficult situatio, ofte female agers would liketo solve the problem themselves. Other female agers are certaily a source for advice. A good way to work with a crew iregard to sexism isto use the "Thors ad oses" sessios at ight, adexplai howoe of the"thors" is the crew's apparet lack of respect for females. hilmot ad the ager Departmet stadby their staff. hilmot is prepared to remove crews from hilmot property if coduct o the partof thecrews becomes repeatedly uacceptable.

81 GOU DYNAMICS Itroductio to Expeditio Behavior The followig text discusses the phases a group eeds to udergo i order to have a successful, ad growth filled experiece at hilmot. You, as a ager, eed to be aware of the followig poits ad eed to facilitate them withi your crew. Discuss this process with the Crew Leader ad the Advisors, so that whe you leave them, they ca cotiue the work you start. The Hoeymoo Stage There are two mai objectives to pursue durig the first twetyfour hours with your crew. First, esure that the members of the crew get to kow each other reasoably well. Eve though the group may have bee acquaitedfor years, this does ot mea they kow each other. Because of the duratio ad itesity of the time they will sped together, the group eeds to uderstad exactly what kid of persoalities they are dealig with. We are goig to use a activity, oe that is good to use with your crews, to help explai the process. There are five areas of a perso's persoality to cosider; ame, age experiece, emotio, ad charactertraits. These are thigs to kow abouta perso i orderto come to a better uderstadig of the type of people you are workigwith. You may adjust these areas as your experiece gives you greaterisight. The activity rus like this, you give the crew a theme (oe of the five areas of persoality from above), the have them form a lie. Each perso's place, i the lie, is decided accordig to where they fit withi the group, relative to the theme. Name ad age are relatively simple, they ca be doe first to get the group i the groove. Next,have them moveo to somethig more revealig. Say, "Alright folks, orgaize yourselves, from most to least, accordig to how much you wat to be here." This accomplishes three thigs, it gets them commuicatig, it gets them workig together, ad it lets you see who is reallyglad to be at hilmot, ad who is ot really excited about the size of the moutais they are lookig at. You ca the move o to, "Okay, who thiks they're pretty headstrog (stubbor), ad who's the most flexible?", or "Who's see a bear i the wild before?" There's all kids of iformatio you ca get the crew to share with you, The ager Fieldbook 75 hilmot Scout ach

82 ad with themselves. Do't limit yourself to jut this activity, though. There are may other activities i which people's awareess of each other is icreased. Ay activity that causes people to commuicate ad work together is good, especially whe it reveals persoality traits. Secod, so that the group is ot itimidated or cofused, they must be at ease with their ew physical settig. What may be first ad foremost o the mids of the participats whe theyarrive at hilmot is p p the physical experiece they are about the go through. You will wat to put them at ease as much as possible so that the) ca cocetrate o the : I emotioal developmet of themselves ad their group. First, ad this is basic, make sure they are comfortable with where ad whe thigs are happeig i basecamp. This is their firstday, ad if they are put at ease p j i with their locatio, they will be more comfortable i the days to come. Shakedow will be the ext opportuity you have to work o this. A j! perso's equipmet is directly related to the physical aspects of their trek. Take this time to familiarize crew members with upcomig physical challeges. Each perso eeds to uderstad how their map ad p < > compass work, so they ca see where they are ad how much further they have to go. Not kowig breeds cofusio ad disappoitmet. ' { The Buildig Block Stage ~" By the ed of the secod day, the crew eeds to have discussed,, their expectatios for the trek. The expectatios a perso brigs to hilmot are ot always appropriate. It is importat for you, as a ager, to help people uderstad what the experiece will be about. By Aalyzig the iterests ad expectatios ofthe crew members, the group ca pla its goals. Goals should be attaiable, make sese, ad be, uderstood by everyoe. The hilmot trek ca be elighteig ad formative for idividuals. Without thisdevelopmetal step,a crew ; j member's emotioal growth may be limited. Crew members should share i determiig how the group will make decisios because people ted to support what they help to create. Cosesus is a healthy way for groups to make decisios. Whe a decisio is made bycosesus, the issues ivolved are discussed ad - explored util the group reaches agreemet amog all its members as to the ext steps for actio. i I Everyoe's opiio ad poit of view are aired, examied, ad The ager Fieldbook 76 hilmot Scout ach i '

Use these words of Wisdom to guide you as you deal with crew members. Share them with your crew leader to help him or her lear to deal with people: Never, ever embarrass ayoe.

Ecourage participatio. epetitio is the motherof learig. The Coflict Stage All groups ofpeople have problems livig ad workig together, especially whe they are as depedet upo each other adare as physically challeged as they are at hilmot. The success of their trek depeds o their ability towork through these problems. The ability to use problem solvig methods i a group, ad as a idividual, will serve them well i years to come. Here are the steps to basic problem solvig: What is the real problem? Is it with a idividual or the whole group? What are some possible reasos it exists or happes? Try to separate facts from emotios. Explore all possible reasos for the situatio. What are possible solutios? Thik of as may possible solutios as you ca. Ecourage actio thativolves persoal resposibility, ot just ideas about what other people should do. The ager Fieldbook 77 hilmot Scout ach

84 * What arethe possible cosequeces? Cosider the cosequeces of each possible solutio. Agree o a solutio. If the solutio does ot work, re-examie the problem ad repeat the steps. Whe you eed to give "advice" to a idividual whose behavior is less tha acceptable, use the "Sadwich Techique". Offer the perso a complimet, make a suggestio, ad follow up with aother complimet. For example, you might say to the overbearig adult leader, "Mr. Smith, you certaily have a wealth of iformatio which eeds to be shared. eople lear through actio though, aduless you allow these youg people to thik ad act for themselves, they wo'tgai atotal uderstadig of their experiece. I believe if you share your kowledge through the crew leader, the crew will havethe best of both worlds. I kow you havethe crew's best iterest at heart." The Eureka! Stage Thigs are comig together. The group uderstads oe aother, kows where they are goig, ad kows how to getthere. Do't stop ow though, without these last steps their goals ad optimum developmet may ot be realized. Everyday the group eeds to evaluate their progress. Use "Thors ad oses" to ecourage group members to talk abouthow they are feelig. Each member ofthe crew says what the best part ofthe day was (rose) ad what was the worst thig that happeed i the day (thor). This discusses successes ad problems of the day. Talkabout how effective the solutios were ad what other alteratives could have bee tried. Because of the chagig ature of a hilmot experiece the crew's goals may eed adjustmet. Ecourage the Chaplai's Aidtodo adaily devotioal usig their preferred religious material or the Eagles Soarig High booklet provided by hilmot.

You. should be proud to be a ager, just as ay staffer should be proud of their positio i ay departmet. Just as we would like to be respected for our work ad role at hilmot, we should stress respect for others, their work, ad their role. The hilmot staff is a team, oe of us could do our job without the help of every other departmet. There may be times whe you feel that you or your departmet are the oly oes demostratig "HUMBLE IDE." You may become irritated at other staff or depedets. They o doubt have similar feeligs at times. It is importat that regardlessof circumstaces, you maitai your "HUMBLE IDE." This is a essetial part ofbeig a ager. Backcoutry Camp Etiquette Whe you are i a backcoutry camp, keep i mid that the backcoutry staff lives ad works at their camp all summer log. It is their home. espect their privacy ad their space. Always be polite; before goig o the porch or i the cabi, ask permissio. Do ot expect The ager Fieldbook 79 hilmot Scout ach

86 to be fed by the staff. How would you feel ifa backcoutry staffercame ito your tet i basecamp ad wated to kow "what are you cookig them for dier?" Ofte, you will be ivited to eat with the staff (**If you are with a crew, you should eat with your crew ad ot with the staff). If you do, always help them out by cleaigup ad doig the dishes, or askig if they eed aythig else doe, such as choppig firewood. Alog the same lies, remember that Advisor's coffee is for the Advisor's, ad ot for visitig staff. Aother importat poit to realize is that whe you are spedig time at a staffed camp, may campers will see your uiform ad thik that you work at that camp. Forexample, a crew may come to you while you aresittigo the porch ofa cabiadask to check i. If you kow the check i procedure forthat particular camp, by all meas help out, but otherwise, politely fid a staff memberto help the crew adleave the porch while they are checkig i.

90 Should you cocetrate activity, or spread out? I high use areas, campers should cocetrate their activities where vegetatio is already abset by usig existig trails ad selectig existig or desigated campsites. I more remote, less traveled areas, campers should geerally spread out. Whe hikig, take differet paths to avoid creatig ew trails that cause <;rosio. Whe campig, disperse tets ad cookig activities. Move camp daily to avoid creatig permaet lookig campsites. Always choose the most durable surfaces available such as rock, sad, duff, dry grasses, or sow. 3. DISOSE OF WASTE OELY Back-coutry users create wastewater ad body waste that requires proper disposal. Hikers ad campers also eed to take their trash with them. Campers should miimize the eed to pack out food scraps by carefully plaig meals. Accept the challege ofpackig out everythig you brig. Wastewater Help prevet cotamiatio of atural water sources by properdisposal of wastewater. Afterstraiig food particles, dispose of dish waterby dispersig at least200 feet or more from ay water source. (200 feet is approximately 70 adult footsteps) Huma Waste roper huma waste disposal helps prevet thespread of disease ad exposure to others. Catholes 6 to 8 iches deep ad 200 feet from water, trails, ad campsites are ofte the most practical way to dispose of feces. Bury yourtoilet paperi the cathole or pack it out as trash. 4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND Allow others a sese of discovery. Leave archaeological artifacts ad aturalobjects as you fid them. I somecases it may be illegal to remove them. STO, LOOK & THINK before eterig a cultural site or area! espect these areas. The ager Fieldbook 84 hilmot Scout ach

91 Do ot remove potsherds ad other artifacts, oce they are goe they are goe forever! Do ot touch 'rock art', such as pictographs ad petroglyphs, oils ad acids i our hads ca cause deterioratio of the site. Also, ever chalk or trace ay rock art. Never camp or build fires i cultural sites or alcoves. Leave atural objects for others to discover ad ejoy. These iclude items such as flowers, rocks, feathers, ad atlers. Good campsites are foud, ot made. Alterig a site should ever be ecessary. Do ot dig tet treches or build structures. Never hammer ails ito trees, hack at trees with hatchets, or damage the bark ad roots by tyig horses to trees for exteded periods. Upo leavig your campsite 'aturalize' it by replacig surface rocks, duff ad braches or twigs which you may have cleared away. O high impact sites, clea the area ad dismatle iappropriateuser-built facilities such as log ad rock furiture. Leave oe clea campfire rig i the area if it already existed. I pristie sites completely restore ad aturalize the area before leavig, icludig ay campfire rig you may have built. 5. MINIMIZE CAMFIE IMACTS The aturaless of may areas has bee degraded by the overuseof fires ad icreasig demad for firewood. Lightweight campstoves make low-impact campig possible by ecouragig a shift away from fires. Stoves are fast, elimiate the eed for firewood, ad make cleaup after meals easier. Cosider fires other tha the traditioal campfire rigs. Wheever possible, use a existig campfire rig i a wellplaced campsite. Choose ot to have a fire i areas where wood is scarce. LEAVE NO TACE fires are small. Use small diameter wood which is dead ad dow.. Whe possible, bur all wood to ash ad remove all ubured trash. The ager Fieldbook 85 hilmot Scout ach

92 If a site has two or more fire rigs dismatle all but oe ad scatter the materials ito the surroudig area. Be certai all wood ad campfire debris is dead out ad cold. Do ot scar large rocks or overhags with a fire. If you do choose to have a campfire use a 'moud fire' or a 'pa fire' rather tha a fire rig. For eveig 'get-togethers' try a cadle later or lumiaria istead of a campfire. 6. ESECT WILDLIFE Quick movemets ad loud oises are stressful to aimals. You are too close if a aimal alters its ormal activities. Cosiderate campers practice these safety methods: Observe wildlife from a distace to avoid disturbig them. Also, leave pets at home. Give aimals a wide berth, especially durig breedig, estig, ad birthig seasos. Store food securely ad keep garbage ad food scraps away from aimals so they will ot acquire bad habits. Help keep wildlife wild. 7. BE CONSIDEATE OF OTHE VISITOS Thoughtful campers arecosiderate of other campers adrespect theirprivacy. Select campsites away from other groups. Travel ad camp quietly to help preserve their solitude. Travel ad camp i small groups(o more tha the group size prescribed by lad maagers). Keep oise dow adleave radios adtape players at home. If you takea petkeep it i cotrol adremove dog feces from trails or campsites.
