7:30 PM As Tom unloads the small portable cooking stove and the miniature gas can that looks like a fire extinguisher out of his pack, he begins to assemble the cooking contraption. As Tom is hard at work on this, the crew and I hear a very loud commotion coming from the campsite fifty yards up the trail. As we gaze closely the other campsite through the trees, we can just barely make out some kind of large animal tromping around through the site. The campers then start to yell “Bear, bear,” as they scurry hurriedly to get pots, pans, sticks, spoons and anything else that might make a noise loud enough to scare away a black bear. Those campers’ hollers of “Bear, bear!” are all we need to hear to know what we have to do. Within …show more content…
Together with all of the other campers, we shout with our voices and clang with our kitchenware, looking like a band of crazed savages all the while. Within a minute, the pretty young bear has had enough of the overwhelming noise and decides to give up the hope of a meal from the packs of the campers. As the black bear bounds off into the woods behind him, the campers cheer in victory, like an army in celebration after winning a victorious battle. The excitement of the incident dies down and I, along with everyone else, head back to my campsite to continue dinner preparations with my crew. Tom hooks up the stove to the gas can and gets a small gas fire going as Justin and Jarrett return with water in a pot to be boiled. They set the pot onto the stove, and all that is left in terms of supper preparation for right now is to wait. While we wait, the crew and I work to get our tents set. Each pair of tent mates works together to set up their tent. Alicia and Sherry, my mother, work together, Jarrett and Hunter work together, and Justin and I work together as well, working to get our tent set up before the sky gets too dark for us to see what were are doing. Tom, our crew leader, is the odd one out and has a small tent of his own. After I remove the tent from the clips attached to my backpack, Justin spreads the large grey

The Koyukon Indians must know how to find the bear’s den. The den entrances are hidden beneath 18 inches of powdery snow and are given away to subtle clues that the koyukon are familiar with. One of the clues are patches where no grass protrudes because the bear as clawed it away for insulation and “faint cavities in the ground hinting of the footprint depressions in the moss below ”. After capturing the bear they must kill it in accordance to Koyukon customs and tradition. These rules and customs are set in place for the purpose of not disrupting the bear’s spirit and to show respect for the animal and the environment.
Next he moved into the common room and lay a fire in the black stone fireplace, brushing the ash from the massive hearth along the northern wall. He pumped water, washed his hands, and brought up a piece of mutton from the basement. He cut fresh kindling, carried in firewood, punched down the rising bread and moved it close to the now warm stove.
Embers flew from the campfire, and into the starry night sky; meanwhile, the campers, Jackie, Carl, and Jim, sat close to it for warmth. “Now who's ready for a campfire story?” said Jackie. “You can sometimes go a little overboard, so Carl is taking the wheel.” Carl continued, “Once upon a time” Jim screams, and Carl rolls his eyes at Jim, “May I proceed,” He responds rhetorically. By the time Carl finishes the scary story, Jim has already dashed into the tent, startling his dog, a basset hound named Roxy. Carl along with Jackie look at each other in regretful worry, as they walk towards Jim's tent.

We didn’t mean to bring the bear to the area where we settled. We hadn't thought about going a different route to lose the bear. We were mortified; we ran straight home. By the time they fought back the bear, most of the Indian and our harvest were destroyed. Some of the Indians blamed me, saying that if I was never with Yuma this would have never happened; while my mother and the group leaders thought that Yuma was the cause.
Funny thing about camping in Yosemite for years with my family. Every time we invited a family to camp with us, they all responded while sitting around the camp fire, with the same statement. "There are no bears in Yosemite"! Some how in their own minds they seemed to think their statement would keep them away. Or they wanted reassurance from us there weren't any. We have had several encounters with them in our camp, but the Rangers have mostly contained them. Trouble is, what Yosemite are you talking about? Yosemite Valley where most of the camping is, or Yosemite National Park.

Tensions are rising. Yesterday Ralph assembled a meeting and Jack decided to leave Ralph’s clan. Ralph right away started to discuss a feast. It made me realize how ignorant Ralph was to Jack leaving. I noticed other hunters leaving to go follow Jack, so I decided I would leave too. When the hunters organized around Jack in the jungle. He went right to it and said we all should go hunting. Of course everyone wanted to go. Hunting was my favorite thing to do now.

I know that the future is bright with Jack as our chief. Ralph and Piggy walked into our feast after
