Turons visiting Alaska, and hiking along the mountain trails,  wear
little silver bells to alert the bears that someone was coming, the
intent of which was to give the bears a chance to vacate the trails, so
there would be no untoward encounters along the way.

Now-a-days, Fish and Game Biologists determine the health of the bears
and whether they are getting plenty to eat by counting the number of
silver bells found in the bear scats on the trails!!!!
