exactly.
last summer, near Kalispell MT I think..
a tent-sleeping camper or two were attacked right in their tents at night..
one person killed for sure.
I think it was a mama bear and two cubs ..
but right smack in a normally-feels-safe national forest campground I
believe.

that would be an interesting way to go ..
attacked and killed right in your tent by a bear.  Probably chewed on , if
not drug off  and partially eaten too.

'mostly' bears don't attack humans unprovoked...
but there are exceptions.
I think they were grizzlies.
