You are lucky enough to live in Alaska, the Black Bears are a minimal problem (and I spend a lot of time in the woods), so learn to live with them.  Black Bears are not a pest.  They are wildlife that deserve to live in this area just the same as we do. 

BTW, I have gone to Kincaid Park for 26 years and never once have I seen a Black Bear... lots of Moose but not one Black Bear.
