BPAWA App

BC is a field-ready wildlife encounter guide built for hikers, campers, and anyone who spends time in wild or natural environments. When an animal appears on the trail ahead, the last thing you need is uncertainty. BC turns what you see into clear, actionable guidance in under three seconds.
Live Encounter
Answer four quick questions about how close the animal is, how it is behaving, its approximate size, and your current environment. BC evaluates your inputs immediately and returns the safest course of action for your specific situation.
Unknown Animal
You do not need to identify the species. Skip identification entirely and get safe, behavior-based guidance for any unfamiliar animal. BC works from what the animal is doing, not what it is.
Before You Go
Pick your destination environment before you head out -- forest, desert, mountain, water edge, urban edge, or campsite -- and read a focused preparation brief written for that terrain. Know what to expect before you arrive.
Emergency Rules
A short, scannable offline reference covering the essential rules for any wildlife encounter. Readable in under a minute. Available without a network connection, so it works when reception does not.
Environment Awareness
Set your preferred environment once and BC pre-fills it across all encounter flows. Less setup time when you need to think fast.
BC is designed to help you think clearly under pressure. The interface is minimal by intention: one task at a time, no distractions, fast answers. Whether you are navigating a forest trail, a desert wash, or a campsite at dusk, the same calm process applies.
This app provides general guidance based on commonly recommended wildlife safety practices. It does not replace professional advice or emergency services. In an emergency, contact local authorities.
