Berries and grubs. Just a heads up for those who like hiking in the fall - be careful, don't be too quiet, and carry bear spray. Have it ready to use. Either that, or someone has to come along later and shoot the bear you startled.

Black bears do not shed their summer coats for a winter color but the fur becomes thicker as fall approaches and the temperature drops.

They will also den up and go into a deep sleep (not hibernation) to conserve energy.

Eat some fat it will keep you warm is that true?
Yes, fat helps insulate your body. Fat serves for us the same it serves for bears. Bears store up fat, which keeps them warm while they're in hibernation. Fat serves the same purpose for us, but we shouldn't eat nearly as much fat as bears do. Just the right small amount.
