I think I read it in MIlepost or maybe John McPhee.. orfrom someone who
mentioned it when we were planning our trip..
Since I loathe bananas I felt pretty safe... this was back in the 80's
so it wasn't from the web
but I heard it over and over whenwe were up there

I never heard that one before.
A quick Google search is kind of inconclusive. There are sites that
claim eating bananas makes you tastier to mosquitoes and sites that
claim they make you less attractive and sites that claim it doesn't make
any difference.
Does the ban on aerosol sprays apply to the pump kind or just to the
kind in cans?
I have a good bug spray from REI that's eucalyptus based that works
really well. It doesn't smell like bananas or fish, but it's damn sure
effective against mosquitoes.

Also... maybe stop eating Bananas for a couple of weeks before you go...
although the Mosquitos shouldn't be as annoying in sept as earlier they
are nasty little guys

In early September we will be in Alaska, have a one-day tour where the
two of us (and maybe 2 others) will be flown to an area to be
determined where bears have been recently spotted according to the
best information the pilot has acquired. The information sheet
includes the following list of items that we should not bring:
• Seafood in your lunches
• Backpacks or clothing from previous days fishing, unless
thoroughly washed
• Glass containers
• Aerosol sprays
• Bear spray or Pepper spray (unsafe on the aircraft)
• Firearms (not allowed on the aircraft)
They don’t mention after-shave.

So not a good idea to wear salmon-scented after-shave?

Seeing a wild bear sounds cool and scary at the same time
It's NOT seeing a wild bear that is dangerous. If you see the bear
before it sees you, and you stay out of its way and awy from any
cubs,
they seldom bother you. If, however, you unexpectedly come into
close
proximity to a bear in the woods, or inadvertently approach a cub,
things can get very dicey indeed. I got rather close to a number of
them in Alaska, but I kept my distance and they were more interested
in the salmon than me, so there was never any real danger. The sight
-- or the smell -- can increase one's pulse rate a bit in any event.
