The alaska case was a very extreme circumstance where the persons sought out the bears and camped amongst them.

At least they're (the bear fence crew in the photo) getting outdoors. If that's what it took to get the guy/girl out, great. Maybe after a few trips they'll feel more at home.

I have younger friends whose parents till thinking backpacking is an extreme sport and very dangerous. We tend to fear all things foreign and new don't we?
