    I hike to see bears and wildlife.  Use your head.  Use a bear 
canister in the high use areas in the Southern Sierra where they are 
required.  I did have a bear visit in Yosemite, two yellow eyes shining 
back at me.  I was thrilled to see five bears last year in Northern 
Washington and the hoary marmots.  The bears in Northern CA are afraid 
of people.  Also, almost no one carried canisters in Northern WA.
I did see two girls in WA last year with two standard poodles.  They 
carried two bear canisters,  and a 70 pound pack!
    What a boring hike if you see no wildlife.
