Years ago I was touring through Yosemite with a friend. We put all of our food in a bear box, but left a bottle of Dr Bronners soap in a pannier on one of our bikes. Woke up in the night to a black bear pushing on our bikes, then with one swipe of the paw he cut into the pannier and pulled out the soap. Bit into it and didn’t seem to enjoy it, and turned back to the bikes and messed with them more until I yelled and the bear took off. This would’ve been a much scarier encounter had it been a grizzly.
