Obviously everyone who comes on a guided bear hunt falls somewhere on the spectrum of guided bear hunters. By my examples perhaps you can gather that the "stuff" people bring often isn't much of a way to judge what their abilities are - nor does it prove much about who they are. Many are very competent and know their stuff while others will point a case head at you if you ask what bullet they're using. That's what makes the spectrum vast. Nothing in my posts was directed at you or anyone else here. Sorry if you took it that way.
