It's only a simple instruction which is important of course but actually when you see a bear people forget about any instructions and do something wrong..run away for instance.

He is talking about different ways to reduce your chances of a) provoking an animal to defend itself from a perceived attack (i.e. a skunk or snake) and b) startling wildlife while on the trail, which will either significantly reduce the amount of wildlife you see while hiking. The goal is to enjoy seeing wildlife in their natural habitat, without spooking them or present yourself in a threatening manor.

He's talking about different ways to better your chances of a) not startling wildlife who may try and defend itself if startled (i.e. A skunk) and b) getting opportunities to observe wildlife in their natural state without spooking them or driving them away long before you ever see them.

"» Breathe through your nose (unless you’re congested or moving fast, and need more air).
» Stalk wildlife early or late, when the ground is wet with dew, or after a rain; moisture softens leaves and twigs so they’re less noisy underfoot.
» Step slowly, knees bent, rolling forward from heel to toe. Slip large wool socks over your boots to muffle footsteps.
» Wear close-fitting clothes that won’t rub and swish. Make sure nothing is loose and hanging, even the ends of shoe laces.
» Avoid strong-scented lotions, sunscreen, and bug repellent.
» Mimic the way small animals move, in short, irregular bursts, not in a steady pattern.
» Practice walking quietly at home, around your pets. If you can sneak up on a dog or cat, you’re doing well."

What the hell are you talking about?
